解析:细节题。题干:当Donna Strickland被问及她的感受时,她是什么意思?根据题干关键词“Donna Strickland”和“how she felt”定位到文章第二段“Strickland was only the third female physicist to get a Nobel following Marie Curie in 1903 and Maria Goeppert. Mayer 60 years later. When asked how that felt,she noted that at first it was surprising to realize so few women had won the award,‘But,I mean,I do live in a world of mostly men,so seeing mostly men doesn’t really ever surprise me either.’(Strickland是继1903年玛丽·居里和60年后的玛丽亚·格佩特_梅耶之后第三位获得诺贝尔奖的女性物理学家。当被问及她的感受时,她指出,起初她很惊讶地发现很少有女性获得这个奖项,‘但是,我的意思是,我确实生活在一个以男性居多的世界里,所以看到大部分男性获得该奖项也不会让我感到惊讶’)”,由此可知,由于在Strickland的工作环境中男性多于女性,所以获得该奖项的男性多于女性不会让她感到很惊讶,,C项“她不再感到惊讶,因为在她的事业和生活中总是男性居多”符合该意思。A项“她仍然对为什么获得诺贝尔奖的女性很少而感到惊讶”,文中说“她起初很惊讶地发现很少有女性获得这个奖项”,但是“后来她对大部分男性获得该奖也不会感到惊讶”,故A项错误。B项“她认为男人应该得到这个奖项,因为他们做出了巨大的贡献”,文中并没有提及,故B项错误。D项“她感到惊讶的是,她的世界中女性很少”,文中提到她意识到在自己的周围男性居多,但是这一点并没有让她惊讶,故D项错误。故本题选C。
2.Why does the author think that bias is most serious in fields where there are mostly men?(D)
A. Because women in these fields do not have women role models.
B. Because these fields need more men who has more power and more expertise.
C. Because men in these fields usually have higher positions.
D. Because there aren’t enough women that can stand up for themselves in the group.
解析:细节题。题干:为什么作者认为偏见在男性居多的领域最为严重? 根据题干关键词“bias”定位到文章第四段中的“Bias is most intense in fields that are predominantly male where women lack a critical mass of representation and are often viewed as tokens or outsiders.(偏见在以男性为主的领域最为强烈,在这些领域,女性代表没有达到临界数量,通常被视为象征或局外人)”。理解此句话的关键在于critical mass“临界数量”,临界数量指的是达到一定的数量能使某事发生或继续,所以本句话是说在这些女性代表数量不足、男性占主导的领域,偏见会更加强烈,故D项“因为在这些群体中,女性代表数量不足以至于她们不能捍卫自己”正确。A项“因为这些领域的女性没有女性榜样”,B项“因为这些领域需要更多拥有更多权力和专业知识的男性”和C项“因为通常在这些领域男性的地位更高”在文章中均没有提及,故排除。故本题选D。
3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is INCORRECT?(A)
A. Females avoid choosing STEM fields, because they think they are less capable.
B. Women have started pursuing STEM majors in colleges and in career.
C. The increase of women workers is not the case in computer and mathematical science.
D. Education has played a helpful role in changing people’ s stereotypes.
解析:细节题。题干:根据文章,以下哪一项表述是不正确的?答案需要选择与文中内容不符的选项,该题可根据选项中的关键词定位文章,然后采用排除法作答。A项“女性避免选择科学、技术、工程和数学领域,因为她们认为自己能力不足”,关键词是avoid choosing STEM fields,定位到文章第五段中的“Studies show that girls and women avoid STEM education not because of cognitive inability,but because of ea
