　　1. 选词填空

　　"Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated." Those were the words uttered by pioneering British scientist Rosalind Franklin, who firmly believed that the pursuit of science should be (26) to all.

　　As a woman working in the first half of the 20th century, Franklin's contributions to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our time - including the structure of DNA - were sadly (27) in her lifetime. One of my proudest moments in my role as universities and science minister was being able to go some way to redress this injustice last month, by unveiling the new Mars rover named after this brilliant British scientist.

　　Today, on International Women's Day, it is only right that we recognise the important work of female scientists like Franklin and seek to honour her memory by inspiring more women and girls to follow in her footsteps.

　　More than 60 years after Franklin's death, we are (28) living in a different world, where women play an important part in every echelon of our society 一 not least in science, innovation, higher education and research.

　　UK universities are world leaders when it comes to advancing and (29) gender equality. The Athena SWAN charter, initially established to improve the representation of women in scientific disciplines in higher education, now has 145 members. It has also expanded to promote gender equality in multiple disciplines - including the arts, social sciences, humanities, business and law.

　　In the past decade, we have seen a (30) increase in England in the number of women accepted on to full-time undergraduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem subjects). And in the last academic year, women (31) for more than half of all Stem postgraduates at UK universities. The government is taking further steps to improve women's representation in science and has today awarded nine inspiring women £50,000 to develop inventions to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities we face as a society. From new materials to cut down on plastics pollution to special devices to improve posture and comfort for wheelchair users, these women are at the forefront of creating the new technology for tomorrow.

　　This is significant progress, but access to higher education is only half of the equation. To have real equality in the sector, we need to ensure talented women are able to progress into the academic and leadership roles they desire, and get the remuneration they deserve.

　　Data shows us the (32) to success gets harder for women to climb the further up they go. Although women make up the majority of undergraduates in our universities, just under half of academic staff are female. At (33) levels, only a quarter of professors are women, and black women make up less than 2% of all female academic staff.

　　I welcome the introduction of pro-active strategies like the new initiative at the University of Leicester, which I am visiting today, to increase the number of female professors by 1.5% each year, with the overall goal of having 30% professorships held by women by 2020.

　　There are also stark differences in pay across grades. The gender pay gap based on median salaries across the sector in 2016-17 was 13.7%, (34) there is still some way to go to ensure women are rising through the ranks to higher grade positions and being paid (35) .

　　答案：

　　A) accessible

　　J) overlooked

　　O) thankfully

　　K) promoting

　　E) considerable

　　B) accounted

　　G) ladder

　　L) senior

　　N) suggesting

　　D) appropriately

　　解析：

　　26. A。空格单词在should be后面，在介词短语to all前面，可以判断此题考查固定搭配，即形容词+介词to结构，所以accessible 符合语法要求。根据第一句话富兰克林认为科学和日常生活不能也不应该分离，判断accessible to all符合原文意思，故选A。

　　27. J。根据语法知识，此空在系动词和副词sadly之后，可判断应填动词的过去分词形式，与were一起构成一般过去时的被动语态。根据下文作者要为富兰克林 redress injustice, 可得知此空含义应为贬义、负面信息，故选择overlooked。

　　28. O。根据语法，可判断此空应选择副词来修饰后面的动词living。根据上下文的对比，可知今天的女性是幸运的，所以选择thankfully。

　　29. K

　　根据并列连词and的用法，此空应选择动词+ing形式，并且含义与advancing接近，故选择promoting。

　　30. E

　　根据语法规则，不定冠词a 后面、名词increase前应填形容词，根据上下文意思，此句应表达接受女性作为全日制大学生的数量越来越多，故选择considerable，意为“相当大的，可观的”。

　　31. B

　　此空在主语women后面，时态为过去时，后面接介词for，考察固定搭配。故accounted 符合要求，account for …表示“占比”。

　　32. G

　　根据此空前面为定冠词the，可知应填名词;根据to success可知此短语意思为“通向成功的……”, 故选ladder，阶梯。

　　33. L

　　介词后面应接名词构成介词短语，而此空后面为名词，故应填形容词、名词;根据前一句只有不到一半的学术人员为女性，而此句说的是只有四分之一的教授为女性，是对上文的进一步说明，故senior符合原文意思，表示“资深的”。

　　34. N

　　根据语法规则，可知此空及后面的句子应作为状语，前半句和后半句意思为递进关系，所以选择suggesting，意思是“暗示、表明”。

　　35. D

　　此空在动词paid后面，故为副词。再根据整句话的意思，表明女性应被升职加薪，故选择appropriately。
