四级第一套选词填空

“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 – 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) ______.
