1、C。主旨大意题，本文主要讲述的是现代社会中女性对于女权主义的理解以及对于女权主义的定义：不同的女性有不同的看法。文章的主旨句在第二段。故选C。
2、B。引语理解题。文中使用引语都是用来支持作者观点的。根据上下文可得知：在新时期的女权主义中，妇女所追求的是在各个领域的成功，而并非局限在有限的几个方面，所以是现在的女性比以前的机会要多。故选B。D错在various abilities，拥有各种能力文章并没有提到，这里主要是说拥有多种发展的机会和选择。
3、D。细节理解题，根据上下文可得知，不同的妇女对于女权主义的理解各不相同。A、B、C都是文中所提及的女权主义的一部分，故选D。
4、D。段落大意题，第四段大意为：新一代的女孩子有潜力能创造自己的女权主义，就像我们在音乐、时装、甚至语言方面都很有个性一样。故此题选D。A错在the new generation of girls are confident 这部分，因为这里只是作者的观点，并没说新一代的女性都很自信能做到这一点，根据文章应该说是“应该有自信这样做”才对。根据第四段第一句可排除B。
5、B。推论题，综合上下文可得知新时期的妇女对于女权主义有各种不同的理解。故此题答案选B。根据第四段第一句可排除D。
