　　by means of a test. Before marks ○

　　in such a test can be useful as information about a

　　person, they must be compared with some ○

　　13

　　. It is not enough simply to know that a ○

　　of

　　thirteen has scored, say, ninety marks in a particular test. To know whether he is clever, ○

　　,

　　or dull, his marks must be compared with the average achieved by boys of thirteen in that test.

　　In 1906 the psychologist, Alfred Binet (1857-1911), ○

　　Gains, and Drawbacks, for Female Professors

　　A) CAMBRIDGE, Mass.– When the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

　　acknowledged 12 years ago that it had discriminated (歧视) against female professors in

　　“subtle but pervasive” ways, it became a national model for addressing gender inequality.

　　Now, an evaluation of those efforts shows substantial progress– and unintended

　　天津科技大学2026年硕士研究生入学考试初试校自命题科目考试大纲

　　第3页共52页

　　consequences. Among other concerns, many female professors say that M.I.T.’s aggressive

　　push to hire more women has created the sense that they are given an unfair advantage. Those

　　who once complained about M.I.T.’s lag in recruiting women now worry about what one

　　called “too much effort to recruit women.”

　　B) Much as a report accompanying M.I.T.’s acknowledgment more than a decade ago

　　offered a rare window on an institution tackling gender discrimination, the new study, being

　　released Monday, shows how difficult the problem is– and not just at M.I.T. “It’s almost as

　　though the standard has changed, because things are so much better now,” said Hazel L. Sive,

　　associate dean of the School of Science, who led one of the committees writing the report.

　　“Because things are so much better now, we can see an entirely new set of issues.”

　　C) An array of prizes and professional honors among female professors has provided a

　　powerful rebuttal (反驳) to critics who suggested after the earlier report that women simply

　　lacked the aptitude for science. But with the emphasis on eliminating bias, women now say

　　the assumption when they win important prizes or positions is that they did so because of their

　　gender. Professors say that female undergraduates ask them how to answer male classmates

　　who tell them they got into M.I.T. only because of affirmative (赞助性的) action.

　　D) Because it has now become all but the rule that every committee must include a

　　woman, and there are still relatively few women on the faculty, female professors say they are

　　losing up to half of their research time, as well as the outside consultancies that earn their

　　male colleagues a lot of money.

　　E) While women on the tenure (终身职位) track 12 years ago feared that having a child

　　would affect their careers, today’s generous policies have made families the norm: The

　　university provides a year-long pause in the tenure clock, and everyone gets a term-long leave

　　after the arrival of a child. There is day care on campus and subsidies for child care while

　　traveling on business. Yet now women say they are uneasy with the frequent invitations to

　　appear on campus panels to discuss their work-life balance. In interviews for the study, they

　　expressed frustration that parenthood remained a women’s issue, rather than a family one.

　　F) Despite an effort to educate colleagues about bias in letters of recommendation for

　　tenure, those for men tend to focus on intellect while those for women dwell on temperament.

　　“To women in my generation, these remaining issues can sound small because we see so

　　much progress,” said Nancy H. Hopkins, a molecular biologist who started the first report.

　　“But they’re not small; they still create an unequal playing field for women– not just at

　　universities, and certainly not just at M.I.T. And they’re harder to change because they are a

　　reflection of where women stand in society.”

　　G) The original effort started in 1994, when Professor Hopkins was frustrated that the

　　university had resisted giving her lab space for new research, and that a course she developed

　　had been given to a male professor. She considered herself a scientist, not a feminist, and only

　　tentatively shared her concerns with another female professor.

　　H) Finding common complaints, they reached out to other women on the School of

　　Science faculty– and discovered that it was remarkably easy to survey them, because there

　　were only 15 women with tenure, compared with 197 men. Women undergraduates

　　outnumbered men in some departments, but the percentage of women on the faculty had

　　remained relatively flat for 20 years. The school had never had a woman in any position of

　　leadership.

　　I) The women gathered more data– crawling on the floor with tape measures to compare

　　lab space for men and for women. They took their concerns to the dean, Robert J. Birgeneau,

　　who did his own study, which backed up the women's conclusions that there were wide

　　differences in salary and resources and a general marginalization (边缘化) of women. “I have

　　always believed that contemporary gender discrimination within universities is part reality

　　and part perception,” the university’s president, Charles M. Vest, wrote in the 1999 report.

　　“True, but I now understand that reality is by far the greater part of the balance.”

　　J) That unusual admission by one of the nation’s most prestigious universities echoed far

　　beyond campus. The National Science Foundation and the National Academies began

　　significant efforts to increase opportunities for women in science. Major philanthropies (慈善

　　团体)gave $1 million to help M.I.T. spread the word, and other universities replicated (复制)

　　the effort. The women who started it all at M.I.T. are still being called to other campuses

　　seeking to evaluate the treatment of women.

　　K) While the original study looked at just the School of Science, one of five schools at

　　M.I.T., the institute later did similar evaluations of the School of Engineering, and then the

　　other faculties. Women at the Schools of Science and Engineering decided to repeat the study

　　of their schools this year after the head of physics, Edmund Bertschinger, suggested a two-day

　　conference on the women of M.I.T. to help mark the institute’s 150th anniversary.

　　L) In what the new study calls “stunning” progress, the number of female faculty

　　members has nearly doubled in the School of Science since 1999 and in the School of

　　Engineering since its original study was completed in 2002. More women are in critical

　　decision-making positions at M.I.T.– there is a female president, and women who are deans

　　and department heads. Inequities in salaries, resources, lab space and teaching loads have

　　largely been eliminated. “I thought things might get better, I thought people had good will,

　　but I never dreamed we’d make this much progress in 10 years,” said Lorna J. Gibson, who

　　led the Engineering School study.

　　M) Some of the problems noted in the report are brought on by progress: The university

　　now struggles to accommodate two-career couples; a decade ago, women with tenure tended

　　to be married only to their careers. But the primary issue in the report is the perception that

　　correcting bias means lowering standards for women. In fact, administrators say they have

　　increased the number of women by broadening their searches. No one is given tenure without

　　what Marc A. Kastner, the dean of the School of Science, called “off-scale” recommendations

　　from at least 15 scholars outside M.I.T.

　　N) Among women on the science and engineering faculties, there are more than two

　　dozen members of the National Academy of Sciences; four winners of the National Medal of

　　Science; the receiver of the top international award in computer science; and the winners of a

　　host of other fellowships and prizes. “No one is getting tenure for diversity reasons, because

　　the women themselves feel so strongly that the standards have to be maintained,” Professor

　　Kastner said.

　　O) Faculty members said that the perception otherwise would change as more women

　　were hired and the quality of their achievement became obvious. “The more fundamental

　　issues are societal,” Professor Kastner said, “and M.I.T. can't solve them on its own.”

　　21. The university offers adequate support and convenience for a teacher who has a child.

　　22. Research done by the dean of the School of Science confirmed the female professors’

　　discovery of discrimination against women teachers.

　　23. The number of female faculty members has not been increased at the expense of lowering

　　academic standards.

　　24. In some people’s eyes, the reason why female professors have won major prizes and

　　academic statuses is that they are women.

　　25. The effort made by M.I.T to eliminate bias against women set a good example for other

　　institutions.

　　Section II. Passage Reading

　　Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions

　　or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You

　　should decide on the best choice and write your answer on the Answer Sheet with the

　　question number 26 to 40.

　　Passage 1

　　Throwing criminals in prison is an ancient and widespread method of punishment, but is

　　it a wise one? It does seem reasonable to keep wrongdoers in a place where they find fewer

　　opportunities to hurt innocent people. The system has long been considered fair and sound by

　　those who want to see the guilty punished and society protected. But the value of this form of

　　justice is now being questioned by the very men who have to apply it– the judges.

　　Does it really help the society, or the victim, or the victim’s family, to put in prison a man

　　who, while drunk at the wheel of his car, has injured or killed another person? It would be

　　more helpful to make the man pay for his victim’s medical bills and compensate him/her for

　　the bad experience, the loss of working time, and any other problems arising from the

　　accident. If the victim is dead, in most cases the victim’s family would need some financial

　　assistance.

　　And a young thief who spends time in prison may receive there a thorough education in

　　crime from his fellow prisoners. Willingly or not, he has to associate himself with tough

　　criminals who will drag him into more serious crimes.

　　Such considerations have caused a number of judges to try some new forms of

　　punishment for light criminals, which are unpleasant enough to discourage the offenders (违

　　法者) from repeating their offenses, but safe for them because they are not exposed to

　　dangerous company. They pay for their crime by helping their victims, financially or

　　otherwise, or doing unpaid labor for their community; or perhaps, they take a job and repay

　　their victim out of their salary. This sort of punishment is applied only to nonviolent criminals

　　who are not likely to be dangerous to the public, such as forgers (伪造者), thieves, and drivers

　　who have caused traffic accidents. The sentenced criminal has the right to refuse the new type

　　of punishment if he prefers a prison term.

　　26. According to the passage, putting criminals in prison is a widespread method of

　　punishment because ________.

　　A) the victim and family cannot be hurt any more

　　B) putting criminals in prison started in ancient times

　　C) throwing criminals in prison is the best form of justice

　　D) criminals can be prevented from harming innocent people

　　27. The new forms of punishment of light criminals have the following features except that

　　________.

　　A) they are kept in special rooms in prison

　　B) they may work and compensate the victims

　　C) they are not exposed to dangerous company

　　D) they pay for their crime by helping the victims

　　28. Which criminal is likely to receive the new forms of punishment?

　　A) Aspy.

　　B) Athief.

　　C) Amurderer.

　　D) Adrug dealer.

　　29. According to the passage, if a young forger is put to prison, he will probably ________.

　　A) correct his wrongdoings

　　B) hurt his fellow prisoners

　　C) receive a good education

　　D) domore serious crimes later

　　30. The author is of the opinion that ________.

　　A) criminals should get paid when they help the victims or the community

　　B) light criminals should not be thrown in prison under any circumstances

　　C) some new forms of punishment are more helpful to both the victims and the criminals

　　D) putting criminals in prison is out of date and we should adopt new forms of punishment

　　IV. Translation (20 points)

　　Directions：Translate the following sentences into Chinese.

　　Write your answer on the answer sheet with the question number 41 to 44.

　　41. If you're sedentary, your body can get used to only having to expend low levels of energy

　　so you might feel more tired than you should when trying to do basic daily activities. The

　　World Health Organization has recommended that adults get at least 150 minutes of

　　moderate-to-vigorous physical activity weekly, while pregnant people should do at least 150

　　minutes of moderate aerobic and strengthening exercises per week.

　　V. Writing (20 points)

　　Directions: You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
