B.only in the scientific world is the role of women increasing rapidly
C.women are making significant contributions to eliminating the inadequacy of our language
D.male nouns or pronouns should not be used to refer to scientists
参考答案
正确答案:D
解析:根据短文,阳性名词或代词不应当用来指科学家。本文第三段指出:近来越来越多的妇女进入科学界。在谈论妇女对科学界的贡献时,我们使用的是隐含性别歧视的语言——用阳性名词或代词来指性别不明的人物。为了消除这种固有的偏见,我们在可能和必要时用复数名词或代词来代替他或她。这是整个第三段想要阐明的。
