Wow! Women now make up 57 per cent of university entrants, and they outnumber men in every subject — including maths and engineering. Speaking as an ardent feminist, I expect that this will have many wonderful results: a culture that is more feng shui and emotionally literate and altogether pieor and an economy that benefits from unleashing the phenomenal energy and critish women who are — if GCSEs, A-levels and university entrance results mean anything — currently giving the male sex a good old intellectual whipping.
Obviously a corner of my heart worries about some aspects of the coming feminisation. Will we all become even more safety-conscious, regulation-prone and generally incapable of beating the Australians at anything than we already are? And even if the feminist revolution is good and unstoppable, we should perhaps consider some of the downsides — and the most interesting is that greater equality between the sexes is actually leading to greater division between the classes. Here’s how.
Since the emergence of our species, it has been a brutally sexist feature of romance that women on the whole — and I stress on the whole — will want to mate with men who are either on a par with themselves, or their superior, in socio-economic and intellectual attainment. A recent study shows that if a man’s IQ rises by 16 points, his chances of marrying increase by 35 per cent; if a woman’s IQ rises by 16 points, her chances of getting hooked decline by the same amount.
As a result of the same instinct — female desire to procreate with their intellectual equals — the huge increase in female university enrolments is leading to a rise in what the sociologists call assortative mating. The more middle-class graduates we create, the more they seem to settle down with other middle-class graduates, very largely because of the feminine romantic imperative already described. The result is that the expansion of university education has actually been accompanied by a decline in social mobility, and that is because these massive enrolments have been overwhelmingly middle-class.
It is one of the sad failures of this government that relatively few bright children from poor backgrounds have been encouraged to go to university, partly because of weaknesses in primary and secondary education, partly because of the withdrawal of the ladder of opportunity provided by academic selection. Once they have failed to go to university, the boom in the number of middle-class female students only intensifies their disadvantages.
The result is that we have widening social divisions, and two particularly miserable groups: the female graduates who think men are all useless because they can’t find a graduate husband, and the male non-graduates who feel increasingly domineered by the feminist revolution, and resentful of all these proud female graduates who won’t give them the time of day.
From the context we know that "their disadvantages"(para.5)imply______.
选项
A、it is becoming more difficult for clever but poor children now
B、the government failed to cater to middle class female needs
C、the ladder of opportunity is denied to most of the bright kids
D、male uselessness is greatly exaggerated by some females
答案
A
解析
这个代词their的指代对象是上文所说的那些聪明的孩子,弄明白代词的含义,A并不难选择。选项B所指的female needs和文章内容不符,文章说“政府使一些家境不好但是天资聪明”的孩子失去了接受教育的机会。选项C使用了most ofthe bright kids,显然与文章不符。选项D出自最后一段,已经远离考点的位置。
