Passage 55 Some observers have attributed the dramatic growth in temporary employment that occurred in the United states during the 1980’s to increased participation in the workforce by certain groups, such as first-time or (5) reentering workers, who supposedly prefer such arrange- ments. However, statistical analyses reveal that demo- graphic changes in the workforce did not correlate with variations in the total number of temporary workers. Instead, these analyses suggest that factors affecting (10) employers account for the rise in temporary employ- ment. One factor is product demand: temporary employment is favored by employers who are adapting to fluctuating demand for products while at the same time seeking to reduce overall labor costs. Another (15) factor is labor’s reduced bargaining strength, which allows employers more control over the terms of employment. Given the analyses, which reveal that growth in temporary employment now far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of (20) groups said to prefer temporary jobs, firms should be discouraged from creating excessive numbers of tem- porary positions. Government policymakers should consider mandating benefit coverage for temporary employees, promoting pay equity between temporary (25) and permanent workers, assisting labor unions in orga- nizing temporary workers, and encouraging firms to assign temporary jobs primarily to employees who explicitly indicate that preference. 7. The passage mentions each of the following as an appropriate kind of governmental action EXCEPT (A) getting firms to offer temporary employment primarily to a certain group of people. (B) encouraging equitable pay for temporary and permanent employees (C) facilitating the organization of temporary workers by labor unions. (D) establishing guidelines on the proportion of temporary workers that firms should employ (E) ensuring that temporary workers obtain benefits from their employers. 这个第7题，欧选了D因为L26 encourage后面的东西，但答案是A。困惑ing....谢谢！

5. The first sentence in the passage suggests that the
   observers mentioned in line 1 would be most likely to
   predict which of the following?
  (A) That the number of new temporary positions would
     decline as fewer workers who preferred temporary
     employment entered the workforce.
  (B) That the total number of temporary positions would
     increase as fewer workers were able to find
     permanent positions
  (C) That employers would have less control over the
      terms of workers’ employment as workers
      increased their bargaining strength.
  (D) That more workers would be hired for temporary
      positions as product demand increased.
  (E) That the number of workers taking temporary
     positions would increase as more workers in any
     given demographic group entered the workforce.
我选A, 答案是E.
