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.

本试题 “请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。In the United States, engineering is a pro...” 主要考查您对 序数词 等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
序数词的概念:
表示顺序的数称为序数词。如:first, second, third, fourth。 序数词的构成与用法:
1、序数词的构成: ①一般来说,是由相应的基数词加词尾th构成。 例:four+th→fourth six+th→sixth seven+th→seventh ten+th→tenth ②下面这些基数词在变为序数词时,有特殊的变化。 例:one→first two→second three→third five→fifth eight→eighth nine→ninth twelve→twelfth ③十位整数序数词的构成方法是将基数词的词y变成i,然后再加eth。 例:twenty→twentieth thirty→thirtieth forty→fortieth ninety→ninetieth ④两位或两位以上的基数词变成序数词时,仅将个位数变成序数词。 例:twenty-one→twenty-first thirty-five→thirty-fifth a hundred and fifty-three→a hundred and fifty-third
2、序数词的用法: ①序数词在使用时,一般加上定冠词。 例:the first book the second floor the third day the fourth week. ②序数词在多数情况下都用作定语,有的也可以作表语、主语和宾语。 例:The may1st is Labour Day. 五月一日是劳动节。 My room is on the second floor. 我的房间在二楼。 The first is larger than the secon.(主语)第一个比第二个大。 Read the book from the first.(宾语)从开头读这本书。 You'll be the sixth to write.(表语)你将是第六个写的。 ③序数词的前面可以加上不定冠词,用来表示“再一”,“又一”的意思。 例:You may have a third try. 你可以第三次尝试。 序数词知识体系:
约数的表达方法:
用tens/dozens/scores/hundreds/thousands/millions of 表示“几十、几百、上千、成千上万”等。 如:The boy bought dozens of pencils. Thousands of people died in the earthquake. 注意: (A):dozen, score, hundred, thousand, million等表示确切数量时,不用复数。 如:five dozen (of) eggs 五打鸡蛋 hree hundred people 三百个人
分数词的构成和用法:
1)分数词构成法: 分数词(FractionalNumerals)由基数词和序数词构成,基数词代表分子,序数词代表分母。除了分子为1的情况下,序数词都要用复数形式: 如:1/4:one-fourth 5/9:five-ninths 2/3:two-thirds 17/5:three and two-fifths 7/12:seven-twelfths 379/8:forty-seven and three-eighths 此外还有下面表示法: 如:1/2:a(one) half 1/4:a(one) quarter 3/4:three-quarters 9/4:two and a quarter 3/2:one and half 31/4:seven and three quarters
