The Men and Women of the University Living a Ratio Margin in American
The prospects for women who are scientists and engineers at major research universities have improved, although women continue to face unfair treatment in salary and access to some other resources. A pane! of the National Research Council concludes in a new report. In recent years "men and women faculty in science, engineering and mathematics have enjoyed comparable opportunities" , said the report. It found that women who applied for university jobs and,once they had them, for promotion and tenure were at least as likely to succeed as men.
In another report, The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at the University of Wisconsin who reviewed a variety of studies concluded that the achievement gap between boys and girls in mathematics performance had narrowed to the vanishing point. Although girls are still of a smaller number in the ranks of young math prodigies, they said, that gap is narrowing. The researchers said this and other circumstances provide abundant evidence for the impact of social, cultural and other environmental factors on the development of mathematical skills of different genders.
The research council, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, gathered its expert panel at the request of Congress. The panel surveyed six disciplines—biolociy chemistry, mathematics, civil and electrical engineering, and physics—and based its analysis on interviews with faculty members at 89 institutions and data from federal agencies, professional societies and other sources. The panel was led by Claude R. Canizares, a physicist who is vice president for research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Dr. Sally E. Shaywitz of the Yale School of Medicine, an expert on learning.
The Wisconsin researchers, Janet S. Hyde and Janet E. Mertz, studied data from 10 states collected in tests authorized by the No Child Left Behind Act as well as data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a federal testing program. Differences between girls’ and boys’ performance in the 10 states were "close to zero in all grades", they said, even in high schools where gaps had existed earlier. In the national assessment, they said, differences between girls’ and boys’ performance were "trivial".
According to the researchers at the University of Wisconsin, how do girls perform in mathematics?
选项
A、Most girls perform better in mathematics than boys.
B、There are very few girls who are really talented in math.
C、Girls can do almost as well as boys in mathematics.
D、Girls usually think narrowly in math while boys don’t.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的girls perform in mathematics定位到第二段第二、三句。这两句都说在数学方面,男孩和女孩之间的差距在缩小,几乎可以说是没有差距,所以[C]“女孩几乎可以和男孩做得一样好”为正确答案。[A]与第二段表达意思不符,故排除;本段第二句说女孩中数学天才的人数比较少,但也不至于是少到几乎没有,所以排除[B];文章是说男女差异缩小,不是说女孩在数学方面思维狭隘,故排除[D]。
