【題目】閱讀下面這篇文章，根據(jù)短文后所給的任務(wù)，完成1—5小題

Who are (A)_________ at science in your class, girls or boys? Nowadays, girls start to show more interest in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects, according to a recent study by Cambridge Occupational Analysts (COA), UK.

In the study, last year, (C) over___,____students who were in their final year in high school were surveyed. The number of girls considering university courses in STEM subjects has been larger than that of boys. Over a fifth of the girls surveyed said they were considering related jobs, such as engineering and technology. Interest has also risen in mechanical (機械學(xué)的) engineering, electrical engineering and the sciences.

(D)_________________________.In the past, there were not nearly as many women as men (B)_________ STEM subjects or working in STEM related fields. Only 13% of people who graduated from university with STEM degrees were women. Now, there are about 22%. In the past, only one eighth of the STEM jobs were held by women. This was partly because of the stereotype (刻板印象) that men are more suited to this work than women. Now it has been changed. Over 20% of the engineers are women in the UK.

In fact, STEM subjects are fun and exciting. Studying science can benefit (使……受益) girls. “It opens girls up to fascinating careers,” Niki Yates, manager of GSK’s UK Business, told The Daily Telegraph. She says(E)鼓勵年輕女性們從事這些工作很重要. They will receive higher pay in these areas. More women in work also help the economy grow.

________________________________________________________________________

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 better studying

【2】對即將畢業(yè)的20000多名高中生做了調(diào)查.

【3】A

【4】It is important to encourage young women to do these jobs．(意思正確句子通順即可)

【5】Science, technology, engineering and math．

【解析】

本文主要講述了當(dāng)今女孩們開始展示出在STEM方面產(chǎn)生更大的興趣以及學(xué)習(xí)STEM對女孩的有益之處，通過在STEM萬面的學(xué)習(xí)可以解決很多女同志的就業(yè)問題，并且更多的女人就業(yè)也可以使經(jīng)濟增長。

【1】（A）句意：誰在你們班誰更擅長科學(xué)，男孩還是女孩？be good at 擅長于…，又girls和boys作比較，所以這里填good的比較級，better；（B）句意：在過去，學(xué)習(xí)STEM學(xué)科或從事STEM相關(guān)領(lǐng)域工作的女性幾乎沒有男性多。Study STEM subjects學(xué)習(xí)STEM課程，又連詞or， 所以形式與working保持一致，填現(xiàn)在分詞studying；故答案是(1). better (2). studying

【2】who were in their final year in high school在高中最后一年的（對即將畢業(yè)的）是定語從句修飾前面的students，over 20,000 students were surveyed超過2000名學(xué)生被調(diào)查，是主句，故答案是對即將畢業(yè)的20000多名高中生做了調(diào)查.

【3】根據(jù)In the past，there were not nearly as many women as men（B） STEM subjects or working in STEM related fields.和Over 20%of the engineers are women in the UK.可知過去幾乎沒有多少婦女學(xué)習(xí)STE和從事這方面的工作，但是在現(xiàn)在這方面的工程師有20%的人是婦女，這是婦女的一個重要改變，故選A。

【4】固定句型It is important (for sb) to do sth 做某事很重要；encourage sb to do sth 鼓勵某人做某事，故答案是It is important to encourage young women to do these jobs．

【5】根據(jù)Nowadays，girls start to show more interest in science，technology，engineering and math（STEM）subjects，可知STEM 包括的學(xué)科有：Science，technology，engineering and math.故答案Science, technology, engineering and math．
