　　Ⅵ.阅读理解

　　Oxford University has introduced confidence classes for female students to get them to compete for jobs in future and win chances to work in best companies.

　　They may be young and gifted but research at the excellent institution has found that female undergraduates(大学生) are shying away from applying for jobs in banking, finance, management consultancy(咨询), engineering and resource management. Partly as a result, starting salaries for women when they graduate are on average ￡2,000 to ￡3,000 lower than their male counterparts.

　　“Women are earning less on leaving Oxford. It is ridiculous，” said Jonathan Black, the careers service director at the university. “We have high quality, high achieving students of both genders. But it appears that women are selecting lower paid jobs. They accept more prejudice in certain industries and are saying ‘I won't struggle for that really high paid job’. We are not trying to push loads of women but we are trying to say, you should feel able to apply for these sorts of jobs. Boys seem to have a more self­confidence and see the bigger picture generally, even when their self­belief is not necessarily based on any greater academic advantage.”

　　The four­day programme at Oxford will help 45 female undergraduates improve their self­confidence and decision making, think positively and build up their strengths. Confidence training will teach them how to deal with opposition and challenging situations.

　　Successful female employees from RBS and BP, which are supporting the course, will talk about their lives and careers. RBS's involvement follows a promise by the bank to increase its national percentage of female graduate applications from 35 percent to 50 percent by 2017.

　　Sophie Kelley, 20, studying law at Oxford, is hoping the course will make her more confident in courses and interviews. “I am applying to London law firms for vacation schemes and it is so competitive，” she said. “The rejection letters don't give any real feedback (反馈) so I'm expecting the programme might give me a hand and advice.”

　　【语篇大意】 牛津大学为了让在校的女大学生在将来参加社会后更有竞争力，开设了“自信课”，帮助她们树立自信，这个活动也受到了一些公司的支持。

　　1．Oxford University brings in confidence classes in order to help ________.

　　A．female undergraduates build up their strengths in daily life

　　B．male undergraduate make friends with girls at university

　　C．female undergraduates get success with more confidence

　　D．females fight against challenges in face of danger

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。第一段第一句话的get them to compete for jobs in future and win chances to work in best companies说明该项目的初衷。]

　　2．What is the worrying situation for female undergraduates?

　　A．They don't like to work in companies offering low wages.

　　B．Their opportunities are limited and their salary is lower.

　　C．There are fewer females admitted to Oxford University.

　　D．They refuse to work in banking and finance fields.

　　答案　B　[推理判断题。第二段第一句话的shying away from applying for jobs in banking...和第三句话的 ￡3,000 lower than their male counterparts说明女大学毕业生可能会遭遇的不良境遇。]

　　3．What is the mistaken idea for female undergraduates?

　　A．They themselves don't like working on resource management.

　　B．They themselves think they are superior to boys in all sides.

　　C．They themselves think men and women are born equal.

　　D．They themselves think they are not good as boys.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。第三段第二句话的appears that women are selecting lower paid jobs和第三句话的They accept more prejudice说明即使女生自己也在一定程度上看轻了自己。]

　　4．What can we learn from Paragraph 5?

　　A．RBS and BP will admit females from now on.

　　B．RBS will create more job chances for girls in future.

　　C．RBS will be the only choice for female undergraduates.

　　D．All female undergraduates from Oxford can apply for RBS.

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。本段第二句话的increase its national percentage of female graduate applications说明B项正确。]
