20、下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 【浙江省2014模拟冲刺试题】 AComputer games have been criticised for quite some time over a whole range of issues. Some people say they are overly violent and encourage violent behaviour particularly in children. Others say that they make children unsociable and are bad for the
21、ir eyes. Some have even attributed falling standards of literacy and a lack of interest in reading on them. Now, however, it seems that computer games have also become a feminist(女权主义者) issue. Game manufacturers have, for some time, been looking to increase the number of female game players. The vas
22、t majority of computer games still sell to a mainly male market. Perhaps this is because the violent nature of many of the games appeals more to males or perhaps because many of the main characters in the games are male. Manufacturers attempts to produce more female characters increase their share o
23、f the female gaming market which has met with serious criticism from many womens groups. While heroines(女英雄) such as Lara Croft of the Tomb Raider game are seen as providing positive role models of strong women, many believe that the characters unrealistic Barbies are subconsciously setting unattain
24、able standards in the minds of young women.

Of course the nature of many of the games remains violent and destruc
25、tive and this in itself could well continue to put off female gamers. There are now, however, a number of web sites springing up on the World Wide Web to help women deal with this issue. Sites such as Game Girlz, Women Gamers and Game Gal offer game reviews, articles, discussion forums and even empl
26、oyment opportunities for women interested in becoming part of the rapidly expanding games industry. The games are reviewed by women from a very female perspective. Some rate the games from one to ten across a range of criteria which include the appearance of the female characters, the degree of inte
27、lligence attributed to them in the game and even the marketing attitude adopted by the company. The sites are obviously looking for games that move away from the very male dominated and violent nature of the majority of computer games. Many of them review games that are more constructive and develop
28、mental. Although the common fantasy themes of knights(骑士), witches and goblins（妖精） still exist within these games, the aims are often very different. Instead of destroying opposing armies，the aim of the game can be to make peace with them. With this increased degree of awareness and involvement from
29、 women in the games industry many positive changes could be made that could encourage more women and young girls to become enthusiastic about technology. Perhaps we may even find more male gamers moving away from the traditional violent and destructive games towards the more positive values promoted
