The Men and Women of the University Living a Ratio Margin in American
The prospects for women who are scientists and engineers at major research universities have improved, although women continue to face unfair treatment in salary and access to some other resources. A pane! of the National Research Council concludes in a new report. In recent years "men and women faculty in science, engineering and mathematics have enjoyed comparable opportunities" , said the report. It found that women who applied for university jobs and,once they had them, for promotion and tenure were at least as likely to succeed as men.
In another report, The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at the University of Wisconsin who reviewed a variety of studies concluded that the achievement gap between boys and girls in mathematics performance had narrowed to the vanishing point. Although girls are still of a smaller number in the ranks of young math prodigies, they said, that gap is narrowing. The researchers said this and other circumstances provide abundant evidence for the impact of social, cultural and other environmental factors on the development of mathematical skills of different genders.
The research council, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, gathered its expert panel at the request of Congress. The panel surveyed six disciplines—biolociy chemistry, mathematics, civil and electrical engineering, and physics—and based its analysis on interviews with faculty members at 89 institutions and data from federal agencies, professional societies and other sources. The panel was led by Claude R. Canizares, a physicist who is vice president for research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Dr. Sally E. Shaywitz of the Yale School of Medicine, an expert on learning.
The Wisconsin researchers, Janet S. Hyde and Janet E. Mertz, studied data from 10 states collected in tests authorized by the No Child Left Behind Act as well as data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a federal testing program. Differences between girls’ and boys’ performance in the 10 states were "close to zero in all grades", they said, even in high schools where gaps had existed earlier. In the national assessment, they said, differences between girls’ and boys’ performance were "trivial".
What is the conclusion of the research council based on?
选项
A、The research made by the National Academy of Sciences and the survey within six fields.
B、The survey at the request of the Congress and talks with teachers from 89 institutions.
C、The survey of six subjects, interviews with teachers and data from different kinds of sources.
D、The analysis made by college teachers from 89 institutions and data from different agencies.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的research council based on定位到第三段第二句。由此可知:专家小组在六个领域——生物、化学、数学、土木工程、电子工程和物理——进行了调查,与89所院校的大学教师的面谈和来自于联邦机构、专业协会以及其他来源的数据也是他们分析的基础。因此,调查、谈话和数据都是他们得出结论的依据。所以[C]为正确答案。[A]、[B]和[D]的内容都不完整,所以排除。
