问题     In the United States 82 colleges now accept just women. Most of them were established in the 19th century; they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive anywhere else. At that time major universities and colleges accepted only men. In the past 20 years many young women have chosen to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a result, some women’ s colleges decided to accept men students, too. Others, however, refused to change. Now these schools are popular again.
    The president of Trinity College in Washington, D. C. said that by the end of the 1980s women began to recognize that studying at the same school with men did not mean women were having an equal chance to learn. The president of Smith College in Massachusetts says a women’ s college permits women to choose classes and activities freely. For example, she says that in a women’ s college a higher percentage of students studies mathematics than in a college with both men and women.
    Educational experts say men students in the United States usually speak in class more than women students do. In a women’ s college, women feel freer to say what they think. Women’ s schools also bring out leadership capabilities in many women. Women are represented everywhere. For example, at a women’ s college every governing office is held by a woman. Recent studies reportedly show that this leadership continues after college. The studies show American women who went to women’ s colleges are more likely to hold successful jobs later in life.
Women’ s college was established to______.
选项 A、give women the same right of education that men enjoy
B、make changes to traditional educational system
C、defy men’ s privilege in the society
D、train women in particular fields
答案A
解析 从第一段“…they were designed to offer women the education they could not receive any—where else”可以看出，女子大学是为了让女性同样享有受教育权。
