Not enough American students want to be engineers, mathematicians, or scientists. The federal government wants to change that They are spending money to do it. [23] The government will invest three billion dollars in the education of young Americans in science, technology, engineering, and math. The four areas together are known as STEM. Many jobs in the STEM fields will open in the coming years. The U.S. government’s investment aims to increase the number of Americans who can take those jobs.
Yet girls appear far less interested in STEM subjects than boys. Only 25 percent of STEM students are girls. Debbie Sterling is an engineer. She invented a construction toy for girls. The name of the toy is "Goldie Blox." Ms. Sterling hopes Goldie Blox will help girls develop skills in space and shapes, which help engineers and builders to think about objects in three dimensions.
To interest girls, Sterling created the character "Goldie." Goldie does not care about beauty or clothes. Goldie tells stories, solves difficult problems and creates imaginary worlds.
Mia is a seven-year-old girl who likes science. In her room, she has no fashion dolls. Instead, she has a pegboard, wheels, blocks and an inventor’s journal to write her observations. Mia received a set of Goldie Blox from her grandmother. She learned to make a machine with the blocks.
[24] "When my grandmother first sent me the present, a spinning machine. I was really excited. I knew it had to do with engineering, so I grabbed the box and opened it Then I went for more—I went to the website; I went on YouTube to find more videos. My mom asked me why I was just watching videos instead of building. I told her I didn’t have enough pieces. She got me the builder survival kit".
Experts say parents should do more than just buy toys to interest their girls in STEM subjects. They should also provide a good education. At school, girls should participate in projects that require teamwork and creative thinking.
[25] Women in scientific and technical jobs are also working to encourage young women to explore STEM. One is Anu Tewary. She studied Applied Physics and worked for technology companies. After she had a daughter, she started Technovation Challenge. The challenge is an international competition for young women from 10 to 18 years old.
There’s a good chance that soon, more young women using mobile phones will also be developing programs for them.
23. What do we learn about STEM according to the speaker?
24. Why does Mia like Goldie BIox?
25. What should be done to increase girls’ interest in STEM?
选项
A、Parents should buy more toys for them.
B、Schools need team work and creative thinking.
C、Women in STEM jobs should encourage them to join.
D、More mobile phone programs should be developed for them.
答案
C
解析
录音指出在STEM领域工作的女性应该鼓励年轻的女孩子在STEM领域进行探索(encourage young women to explore STEM),C项“在STEM领域工作的女性鼓励她们加入”与录音内容相符,为正确选项。家长要做的不仅仅是给孩子买玩具,而应为其提供良好的教育,A项强调的是“买玩具”,与原文有出入。录音提到女孩子应该参加训练团队合作、创造性思维的活动,而非B项所说的“学校需要团队合作精神及创造性思维”。D项曲解文意,录音中说的是许多用手机的女性会为Technovation Challenge这比赛开发程序,D项理解成了“应为女孩开发更多的手机程序”。
