In the United States, engineering is a profession that has been dominated historically by men. Even today, it’s still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical engineers, but that’s something www.EngineerGirl.org aims to change. Young women who visit the web site can find out about a great career choice they might not have considered.

“Women are very much underrepresented in engineering and in engineering education programs and then of course, down the road, in the engineering workforce. So only about 20 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees go to women, and then only about nine percent of working engineers are women.”

Mary Mattis in the National Academy of Engineering says the EngineerGirl website aims to reach young women around ages 11 through 14, when they are just getting old enough to start thinking about their futures.

“We know from the research that middle-school girls are at a critical point in their lives, and that it’s a time when we need to reach them, both with an understanding, increasing their awareness of interesting fields in engineering, what a wonderful productive and exciting career you can have as an engineer. But we also need to reach them at that time because you have to take certain courses, and you can’t start thinking about taking those courses when you’re a junior in high school.”

Engineering is a demanding course of study — there is a lot of science and mathematics, for many girls and even boys, that can be challenging. But Ms. Mattis says that the EngineerGirl website stresses that engineering can also be fun and exciting.

“It’s about designing things. It’s about changing the world for people. It’s about making a difference. And, in addition, you can make a good living; you can be independent economically by becoming an engineer. All of those things are messages that girls need to get.”

While most engineers go into traditional fields such as mechanical and electrical engineering, the EngineerGirl site also highlights unusual engineering careers in fields such as sports engineering and — believe it or not — chocolate engineering.

“There’s a section called ‘why be an engineer,’ and that talks about the many opportunities and increasingly different opportunities like with bio-engineering and environmental engineering, some fields that might appeal to girls who want to make a difference or have a meaning for their careers beyond earning an income.”Even if you are not a girl in the target age group, there’s a lot of interesting information on the site, including biographies of some notable women engineers.

【解析】

試題分析：

  Encourages   推理題。根據(jù)第一段最后2行Young women who visit the web site can find out about a great career choice they might not have considered.說(shuō)明這個(gè)網(wǎng)站鼓勵(lì)女孩子去學(xué)習(xí)工程師這個(gè)職業(yè)。

 situation 推理題。根據(jù)第一段2,3行Even today, it’s still true that few women become civil or chemical or mechanical engineers講述了目前的工程師的性別形勢(shì)，仍然是男性占據(jù)統(tǒng)治的地位。

  history  推理題。根據(jù)第二段So only about 20 percent of engineering undergraduate degrees go to women, and then only about nine percent of working engineers are women.”說(shuō)明歷史上有絕大多數(shù)的工程師都男性。

  Purpose/Aim/Goal/Intention   歸納總結(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段第二行website aims to reach young women around ages 11 through 14說(shuō)明該網(wǎng)站的目的是讓年輕的女孩子了解工程師這個(gè)行業(yè)的情況。

 aware 固定詞組be aware of...意識(shí)到...；這個(gè)網(wǎng)站的目的是讓女孩子了解工程師這個(gè)行業(yè)的相關(guān)情況。

 excitement 詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)第五段最后一行engineering can also be fun and exciting.原文中是形容詞exciting，現(xiàn)在轉(zhuǎn)換成名詞excitement.

 Benefits/Advantages   總結(jié)歸納。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)3,4,5段內(nèi)容可知學(xué)習(xí)工程師這個(gè)職業(yè)的好處。

  change   原詞再現(xiàn)。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第3段第一行It’s about changing the world for people.說(shuō)明這個(gè)行業(yè)可以改變我們這個(gè)世界。

 independence  詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段第3行be independent economically by becoming an engineer原文是形容詞，把它轉(zhuǎn)換成名詞的independence形式。

 related 推理題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后, the EngineerGirl site also highlights unusual engineering careers in fields such as sports engineering and — believe it or not — chocolate engineering.說(shuō)明這還涉及到運(yùn)動(dòng)和巧克力等。故可以轉(zhuǎn)換成be related to…

考點(diǎn)：考查任務(wù)型閱讀

點(diǎn)評(píng)：任務(wù)型閱讀是近年來(lái)在江蘇和安徽出現(xiàn)的新題型，需要考生理解文章，同時(shí)也要注意理解表格的結(jié)構(gòu)。題型以原詞再現(xiàn)為主，輔以詞性，詞形的變化，以及同義轉(zhuǎn)化等。
