大学生英语竞赛D类阅读理解专项强化真题试卷20
第四部分
These days, college lecture halls in the United States are being filled more and more with female rather than male students. Women now make up 55 percent of the college population— and that number continues to rise.
Forty years ago, male students were the majority on college campuses in the United States. Traditionally men acted as the breadwinner of the family and college was seen as the path to career advancement and higher salaries. But during the feminist movements of the 1970s, more women aspired to having careers and enrolled in college to pursue a degree. By the mid-1980s, more women than men were attending college.
1.【R1】
a degree／university(college)degrees
解析：(根据关键词the 1970s定位至文章第二段。该段提到在这个时间段，“more women aspired to having careers and enrolled in college to pursue a degree．”因此该空填入a degree或university／college degrees。)
2.【R2】
has declined／dropped
解析：(文章第三段第一句提到“there was a decline in the number of males applying to college”，即男生入学率下降。因此该空填入has declined或has dropped。)
3.【R3】
good／high salaries
解析：(文章倒数第三段提到越来越多的男性开始寻找修理、建筑和技术方面的工作，而这些工作“often don’t require a four-year degree from a university but still promise good salaries”，这样的工作不需要大学文凭也能挣到高薪。因此该空填入good salaries或high salaries。)
4.【R4】
a dilemma
解析：(文章最后一段最后一句提到“The dilemma presents a challenge for colleges”，这种挑战是由大学面临的困境带来的。因此该空填入“a dilemma”。)
5.【R5】
ensuring
解析：(文章最后一段最后一句提到大学面临的挑战：“How can a school attempt to close the gender gap in ways that ensure that both men and women have equal access to opportunities in universities?”。据此可知答案。while后应接动词的现在分词形式，因此该空填入“ensuring”。)
