2009年12月英語四級考試巔峰閱讀訓練(21)

　　主語從句

　　解題技巧：對what 或that引導的主語從句的理解，作為復合句的主語都比較長，給理解帶來一定的難度，這使與其他英語句子不同的地方。理解主語從句的關鍵在于辨別主語從句的內容和主句的謂語動詞

　　練習：

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

　　Q: Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?

　　A. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.

　　B. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination.

　　C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind.

　　D. She finds space research more important.

　　答案：

　　D

　　本段的意思使她不想談論女性科學家，因為實在使沒有意思。最后提到她真正感興趣的空間-時間的形成喝黑洞的本質等科學知識本身。主語從句What I do find interesting后的內容就是答案。
