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?
The main question of the quoted blog is______.
选项 A、whether women are more moral than men
B、what has caused women to choose career over marriage
C、whether there are short of marriageable men nowadays
D、why the ratio of single men versus single women is unbalanced
答案B
解析 推断题。第一段第一句“A recent U．S．study claims that in areas where there are fewersingle men，women are more career focused because there are less options for marrying．”可知，美国最近的一项研究声称：在单身男性较少的地方，女性会更注重事业，因为可选择的结婚对象比较少。博客最后又说“Are careers merely a fall—back option for women whoaren’t able to marry and have children right away?”即难道事业仅仅是女性现在不结婚不生孩子的退一步的选择吗?故选B。
