Question

【題目】Who are (A)_________ at science in your class, girls or boys? Nowadays, girls start to show more interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects, according to a recent study by Cambridge Occupational Analysts (COA), UK.

In the study, last year, (B) over 20,000 students who were in their final year in high school were surveyed. The number of girls considering university courses in STEM subjects has been larger than that of boys. Over a fifth of the girls surveyed said they were considering related jobs, (C)___________ engineering and technology. Interest has also risen in mechanical (機械學的) engineering, electrical engineering and the sciences.

(D)_________________________.In the past, there were not nearly as many women as men (E)_________ STEM subjects or working in STEM related fields. Only 13% of people who graduated from university with STEM degrees were women. Now, there are about 22%.(F) In the past, only one eighth of the STEM jobs were held by women. This was partly because of the stereotype (刻板印象) that men are more suited to this work than women. Now it has been (G)_________. Over 20% of the engineers are women in the UK.

In fact, STEM subjects are fun and exciting. Studying science can benefit (使……受益) girls. “It opens girls up to fascinating careers,” Niki Yates, manager of GSK’s UK Business, told The Daily Telegraph. She says(H) it is important to encourage young women to do these jobs. They will receive higher pay in these areas. More women in work also helps the economy grow.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】betterstudyingchanged

【2】對即將畢業(yè)的高中生超過20000人做了調(diào)查。STEM職業(yè)中只有八分之一是女性做的。鼓勵年輕女性做這些工作很重要。

【3】A

【4】such as

【5】Science, technology, engineering and math.

【6】Studying science opend girls up to fascinating careers.

【解析】本文主要講述了當今女孩們開始展示出在STEM方面產(chǎn)生更大的興趣以及學習STEM對女孩的有益之處，通過在STEM方面的學習可以解決很多女同志的就業(yè)問題，并且更多的女人就業(yè)也可以使經(jīng)濟增長。

【1】(1). be good at擅長，根據(jù)girls or boys 可知女生和男生比較，故此處用good 的比較級better。

(2). 與 or working in STEM related fields.相并列的是學習STEM 科目，故為studying。

(3). 根據(jù)In the past, there were not nearly as many women as men (E)_________ STEM subjects or working in STEM related fields.和Over 20% of the engineers are women in the UK.可知過去幾乎沒有多少婦女學習STEM和從事這方面的工作，但是在現(xiàn)在這方面的工程師有20%的人是婦女，這是婦女的一個重要改變，根據(jù)has可知此處用現(xiàn)在完成時，故為changed。

【2】(1). who were in their final year in high school“即將高中畢業(yè)的”是定語從句修飾students，故此處為：對即將畢業(yè)的高中生超過20000人做了調(diào)查。

(2). In the past,在過去， only one eighth of只有八分之一， 故此處為：在過去，STEM職業(yè)中只有八分之一是女性做的。

(3). It是形式主語，to encourage young women to do these jobs.是真正的主語，句型It is important to do sth做某事是重要的，encourage sb to do sth鼓勵某人做某事， 故此處為：鼓勵年輕女性做這些工作很重要。

【3】A

根據(jù)In the past, there were not nearly as many women as men (E)_________ STEM

subjects or working in STEM related fields.和Over 20% of the engineers are

women in the UK.可知過去幾乎沒有多少婦女學習STEM和從事這方面的工作，但是在現(xiàn)

在這方面的工程師有20%的人是婦女，這是婦女的一個重要改變，故選A。

【4】根據(jù)related jobs, (C)___________ engineering and technology.可知工程和科技是相關工作中一個例子，故此處為such as

【5】根據(jù)Nowadays, girls start to show more interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects,可知STEM 包括的學科有：Science, technology, engineering and math.

【6】根據(jù)Studying science can benefit (使……受益) girls. “It opens girls up to fascinating careers,” Niki Yates, manager of GSK’s UK Business, told The Daily Telegraph. 可知學習科學能是女孩受益。它給女孩展示了令人著迷的職業(yè)。故此處為Studying science opend girls up to fascinating careers.
