问题     University, a place disseminating knowledge and illuminating people’s mind, renders people opportunities to further their study and cultivate their capability. Some people propose that university should enroll equal number of male and female students in every major. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue.

    YES
    Nowadays, plenty of universities limit the number of female students who study in some particular subjects; therefore, more and more people, especially feminism supporters who help improve women’s status in society, are arguing that universities should enroll equal number of male and female students in every subject.
    Equal admission will play a vital role in improving women’s status since men and women are born equal, and women should also have the right to choose whatever majors they like. Only in this way, can men and women share not only the equal enrollment figures in every major but also equal opportunities in future jobs.
    NO
    First of all, major selection is decided by students themselves. Studies show that men and women think differently. Male students are inclined to major in technical subjects, while female students are more likely to choose the arts. This may stem from the thought that men usually take the burden of feeding the family, and people who major in technical fields will have a better chance to get higher salary after graduation. To women, however, what they study is nothing serious for their future life.
    In the second place, some work is more suitable for an appointed gender. For instance, nurse schools are open to women only, and infants’ schools prefer female teachers. These are all because women are more careful and patient, and less aggressive in nature. By contrast, men fit in jobs such as steel workers and police officers because of their braveness, haleness, and decisiveness.

答案     Should the Quantity of Male Students and Female Students Be Tantamount in the Same Major?
    In a time of gender equality being emphasized so much, some espouse that the quantity of male students and female students should be identical in the same major, while others hold different opinions. If asked, I should say that I take a dim view of it, as it is much too rigorous and impossible to be carried out.
    In the first place, as Einstein put it, " Interest is the best teacher. " Individual interests should have top priority when students pick up their majors. Moreover, interests vary even among the same gender, let alone between different genders.
    In the second place, some courses such as engineering are more suitable for male students, while the opposite is true when it comes to liberal arts. The main reason for this is that the mode of think is different between genders. Men are apt at logical thinking, while women are inclined to think in image. Therefore, it is not necessary to invariably emphasize absolute equality in this kind of situation; otherwise it would be detrimental to the entire society. What a scene would it be if you saw half of the nurses are males in the hospital or half of the steel workers are females in the factory!
    Judging from all the analyses offered, we might reasonably come to the conclusion that it is unpractical to restrict the number of male and female students for the same major.

解析     本题表面上讨论的是大学的每个专业是否应该招收同等数量的男女学生,更深层次讨论的却是机会均等的问题。如果选择不同意,则可提出男生和女生思维特点和个人的喜好不同。实践表明,更多的男生喜欢理科,而更多的女生倾向于文科,生理构造的差异造成专业选择上的差异。如若选择同意此观点,则可表述天赋人权,人人生而平等。无论男生还是女生都应该享有平等的选择专业的机会。在具体行文方面,考生要先概述材料中正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点:不同意这种做法。最后总结全文。
