12月大学英语四级阅读理解预测题8

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my lifewhen people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated bymen. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found theminteresting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-timeand the nature of black holes.

At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the onlywoman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doingspace research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, researchpapers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, ornature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.

Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventuallybecome my reply to any and all provocations: I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal withgender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every femalescientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.

Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how may of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imaginemy satisfaction at being able to answer, 45. I know some of my students worry how they willmanage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physicsprofessor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me theimage of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.
