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".
Which of the following is true about female scientists and engineers in universities?
选项
A、They are suffering from unequal treatment.
B、They find it difficult to get the job when they apply.
C、They have a future as bright as men.
D、They often compare their chances with those of men.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的female scientists and engineers in universities定位到第一段。本段第二句说在科学、工程和数学领域,男女大学教师机会相当,第三句说一旦获得大学教师的职位,男女在终身任职等方面机会也差不多。由此可知,[C]“女性和男性大学里的前途一样光明”为正确答案。文章第一句只是说工资方面男女待遇还有差别,不能以偏概全,故排除[A];文章没有说在求职时女性是否感到困难,故排除[B];文章没有说女性总是与男性攀比,故排除[D]。
