问题     A recent U. S. study claims that in areas where there are fewer single men, women are more career focused because there are less options for marrying. Increasingly, women have been delaying starting a family in order to nurture their careers. But a recent study asks if this phenomenon might just be on account of a lack of marriageable men.
    The study, published in the journal of Personality and Social Psychology, looks at the ratios of single men versus single women in various U. S. states and on college campuses. When stores of single men are low, or are perceived to be low, women showed higher levels of motivation to pursue high-paying careers.
    The researchers conclude that it’s not necessarily ambition that drives a woman to single-mind-edly pursue her career—it’s merely because there isn’t a potential husband in sight.
The researchers also note that women who perceive themselves to be less desirable as mates— "those women who are not like Angelina Jolie", as Durante, a professor from the University of Minnesota, puts it, are more likely to immerse themselves in their careers.
    What do you think? Are careers merely a fall-back option for women who aren’t able to marry and have children right away?
    Comment 1 :
    For all women, is a career just something to pass the time and fill lonely, otherwise meaningless hours? What about lesbians(女同性恋者)and women who are not particularly interested in marrying or ever having children?
    Comment 2 :
    I think this article is offensive, that’s what I think. What if I published an article saying women delay getting married because most men are jerks? What do you say?
    Comment 3:
    But the issue is not that simple. If less single men are available as husbands, there will be more single women who need to get on with their lives. At the same time not all single women want to put up with husbands and they do not have to do so if they don’t want to.
    Comment 4:
    Universities and colleges have spent the last 25 years trying to shut men out and make higher education female friendly through affirmative action programs. Well, they got what they wanted and now most universities have 60% to 70% women. Obviously, it will be more difficult for women to find male marriage.
    Comment 5:
    What if I told you the truth and said most women are now either lesbians, feminists, complaining, insane, or all around just not worth committing to? Back in my day when I got married it was worth getting married. Nowadays, why get stuck to one woman who isn’t worth?
Among all the comments, which of the following three give negative response to the question raised at the end of the blog?
选项 A、Comments 1, 2 and 3.
B、Comments 2, 3 and 4.
C、Comments 3, 4 and 5.
D、Comments 1, 4 and 5.
答案A
解析 推断题。评论1说：难道所有的妇女都是把事业作为打发时间、逃避孤独的方法吗?即评论1反对博客最后的那个问题——难道事业仅仅是女性现在不结婚不生孩子的退一步选择?评论2说：我认为这篇博客具有攻击性，这就是我的想法。即评论2也是持反对意见的。评论3说：但是问题没那么简单。如果可以做丈夫的男人少了，那么就会有更多的单身女人自己过。如果她们不想结婚，就不必结婚。因此评论3也是反对的，故选A。
