Question

The Top 4 Lies Girls Hear

  1. “You'll never be good at math.”

  It's generally accepted that boys are good at math while girls aren't. The fact is that it isn't true—at least, it doesn't have to be. When girls reach their teens，most of them lose their interest in math. They're trying to be regarded as female(女性)．They want to stay away from things that are boy things, and math is still considered a boy thing. Math class is hard, but if you gave it a chance you could be great at math, especially beacuse you are a girl.

 2. “Being skinny is good, and how you diet is your business.”

 Lots of web sites tell visitors that losing interest in eating is a beautiful thing. These“skinny is better”sites are lying. Losing interest in eating is a disease, not a fashion statement. It can kill you.

 3. “You don't deserve to make as much money as a guy.”

 It's said that in 2002 women who work full-time earn about 23 percent less than guys earn. Once you see real women succeeding in cool jobs, you'll truly get that you're worth just as much as—or  more than any guys.

 4. “Caffeine(咖啡因)will help you study better.”

 Caffeinated soft drinks have long been advertised as must haves when you have to work very hard. But if you want to do your body a big favor, you'd better give up caffeine altogether.

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述的是女孩聽(tīng)到的四個(gè)頂級(jí)謊言。1.你將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)擅長(zhǎng)數(shù)學(xué)；2.苗條是好的，如何節(jié)食是你的事業(yè)；3.你不值得去掙和男人一樣多的錢；4.咖啡因會(huì)幫助你學(xué)得更好。

1. 推理判斷題。第一條“謊言”中的第二段告訴我們女孩們遠(yuǎn)離數(shù)學(xué)是因?yàn)樗齻冋J(rèn)為那是男孩子的專長(zhǎng)。但實(shí)際上如果她們努力，數(shù)學(xué)也會(huì)學(xué)得很好。故選C。

2.詞義理解題。從第二條“謊言”得知她們認(rèn)為越瘦越好的觀點(diǎn)是不正確的，可知“skinny”意為“苗條”。故選D。

3.計(jì)算推理題。從第三條“謊言”的說(shuō)明中可以找到信息：2002 年，女子的收入要比從事同樣職業(yè)的男性低 23%。所以用 20000 乘以 77%即得答案B。

4.根據(jù)“These“skinny is better”sites are lying.”可知保持苗條對(duì)女孩的健康不好。故選B。

考點(diǎn)：社會(huì)現(xiàn)象類閱讀。
