问题    Excerpt 1:
   What does an economist think of that? A lot depends on whether the economist is a man or a woman. A new study shows a large gender gap on economic policy among the nation’s professional economists, a divide similar—and in some cases bigger—than the gender divide found in the general public. Differences extend to core professional beliefs—such as the effect of minimum wage laws—not just matters of political opinion.
   Excerpt 2:
   Opinion differences between men and women are well-documented in the general public. President Obama leads Mitt Romney by 10 percentage points among women. Romney leads Obama by 3 percentage points among men, according to the latest Gallup Poll.
   Excerpt 3:
   Liberal economist Dean Baker, co-founder of the Center for Economic Policy and Research , says male economists have been on the inside of the profession, confirming each other’s anti-regulation views. Women, as outsiders, "are more likely to think independently or at least see people outside of the economics profession as forming their peer group," he says.
   Excerpt 4:
   A native of France, de Rugy supported government intervention early in her life but changed her mind after studying economics. "We want many of the same things as liberals— less poverty, more health care—but have radically different ideas on how to achieve it. "
   Excerpt 5:
   Female economists tend to favor a bigger role for government while male economists have greater faith in business and the marketplace. Is the U. S. economy excessively regulated? Sixty-five percent of female economists said " no" —24 percentage points higher than male economists. " It’s very puzzling," says free-market economist Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. "Not a day goes by that I don’t ask myself why there are so few women economists on the free-market side. "
   Excerpt 6:
   The gender balance in economics is changing. One-third of economics doctorates now go to women. The chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers has been a woman three of 27 times since 1946—one advising Obama and two advising Bill Clinton. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors has three women, bringing the total to eight of 90 members since 1914.
   Excerpt 7:
   The genders are most divorced from each other on the question of equality for women. Male economists overwhelmingly think the wage gap between men and women is largely the result of individuals’ skills, experience and voluntary choices while female economists overwhelmingly disagree. The biggest disagreement: 76% of women say faculty opportunities in economics favor men. Male economists point the opposite way: 80% say women are favored or the process is neutral.
Which Excerpt discusses the difference of male and female economists in the relationship with their profession?
选项 A、Excerpt 2.
B、Excerpt 3.
C、Excerpt 6.
D、Excerpt 7.
答案B
解析     细节题。做题的关键是要读懂题目。本题问的是哪个摘录中涉及了男女经济学家在与自身职业关系上的不同，关键词是the relationship with their profession。在Excerpt 3中Dean Baker提到了男性经济学家是on the inside of the profession而女性经济学家则是outsiders，据此可以判断正确答案应该是B。
