Question

1．When Bonfield，the chief of the Women's Engineering Society，recently attended a military air show，she was in great shock．
There were around 900 girls among the crowd and Ms Bonfield said，"I'm saying to all these girls，'Do you know about engineering？Would you like to be an engineer？Have you thought about engineering？'And in the whole day…probably five or six of them said yes．Every other one said no，just straight out no．"
What surprised her most wasn't that these girls didn't know what engineering was．It was simply that they had already switched off．They had lost interest in engineering．"So how much work does it take to change that？"asked Ms Bonfield，"I mean it's huge．"
There's no shortage of data to back up her ideas．The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show that women make up around just 8% of engineers in the UK．And this is at a time when the UK needs to produce thousands more engineers，so much that the inventor，Sir James Dyson，is planning to open his own institute to deal with the skills shortage．
One of the reasons why girls don't choose engineering is that there are not enough female role models．The attitude of parents is also an important factor in career choices．For girls，perhaps unsurprisingly，mothers are particularly influential．
"My mum was a bit uncertain about it at first，"said middle school student Hannah，"But my dad used to build a lot of stuff and he got me into that．So after my mum saw how me and my dad interacted，she said，'Yeah，go for it'and she's kind of the one who supported me with this．"

30．What made Hannh finally choose engineering？C
A．Her mother's encouragement．
B．The demand of society for engineers．

D．Her born interest in engineering．
31．What is the author's purpose of writing the passage？A
A．To explain what causes the shortage of girl engineers．
B．To introduce some famous girl engineers to readers．

Answer 1

分析 文章大意：本文講述英國女性工程師奇缺的問題及原因：一是：女孩為什么不選擇工程的原因之一是，沒有足夠的女性的榜樣；二是：父母的態(tài)度．

解答 答案：28-31 DBCA
28．D，推理判斷題，根據(jù)第三段What surprised her most wasn't that these girls didn't know what engineering was．It was simply that they had already switched off可知選D．
29．B，事實細節(jié)題，根據(jù)第四段，英國需要培養(yǎng)數(shù)千名工程師，以至于發(fā)明者詹姆斯•戴森爵士（Sir James Dyson）正計劃開設自己的學院，以應對技能短缺的問題，也就是工程師短缺的問題，所以選B．
30．C，事實細節(jié)題，根據(jù)最后一段，But my dad used to build a lot of stuff and he got me into that，爸爸對她有積極的影響．
31．A，主旨大意題，一、二、三段發(fā)現(xiàn)問題，女孩子對工程學極其不感興趣．第四段加以證明，最后兩段說明了原因．一是：女孩為什么不選擇工程的原因之一是，沒有足夠的女性的榜樣；二是：父母的態(tài)度．
