M: Why do you think that way?
W: While I admit there is very little discrimination here on campus towards orientation, appearance and nationality, [9]women are not treated equally. Women are not represented in many faculties. They also hold fewer senior faculty positions, are not represented well in administration and, do you know, not once has there been a female president of the student union.
M: You are running for president of the student union on the issue of equality, but you are not going to be a winner, I suppose. Most students feel women have equality nowadays.
W: Not the students I have talked to, particularly the women. My brother is a lawyer and he says the women in his firm have to work much harder than the men if they want to become a partner in the firm.
M: So you are going to champion women’s rights for the election.
W: Yes, my campaign will focus on that but I will not ignore other issues such as transportation, cafeterias and so on. I have been a student here for 4 years and am aware of all the issues. If I can make this campus a better place for all students, then as a woman, I would be setting an excellent role model. And, I am sure I can do a better job than Jerry did this year.
M: What did Jerry accomplish this year?
W: Next to nothing. He put pressure on the cafeterias to be a little more environmentally friendly but that is all about it.
9. What is the main reason for the woman’s running for president of the students’ union?
10. Why does the woman mention her brother?
11. What does the woman think of Jerry?

选项 A、He was surely under huge pressure.
B、The cafe was not one of his greatest achievements.
C、He did almost nothing significant.
D、He was the greatest leader of the students’ union.

答案 C

解析 女士最后—句话说明她对前任学生会主席不以为然,其中next to nothing意为“差不多没有”,故C正确。
