8. Which of the following best completes the passage below?

A primary factor in perpetuating the low salaries of women workers has been their segregation in the so-called pink-collar occupations, such as nursing, teaching, library science, and secretarial work. Partly because these jobs have traditionally been held by women, their salary levels have been depressed, and, despite increased attempts to unionize these workers in recent years, their pay continues to lag. Moreover, although a large percentage of women than ever before are now entering and remaining in the job market, most continue to gravitate toward the pink-collar fields, despite the lower salaries. It seems clear, therefore, that if the average salaries of women workers are to approach those of men, ______

(A) labor unions must redouble their efforts to improve the lot of working women

(B) society’s perception of pink-collar jobs as less important and less demanding than other jobs must be changed

(C) more men must be encouraged to enter fields traditionally occupied by women

(D) the number of jobs in the pink-collar fields relative to the size of the work force as a whole must be markedly increasedE

(E) more women must enter occupations other than those traditionally reserved for them

为什么E对,我认为B对。

平均工资=总工资/总人数; 总工资高,总人数高没有任何意义. 所以越

来越多的女性(比例)进入了高工资行业(这些行业不是在传统上为她们设定的)

我都不知道你说的平均/总工资在哪里呢?

这段话,我怎么就读不懂呢。。。5555

别5555,文章没说什么总工资和人.我只是说平均工资的增加光靠人的增

加是不行的.得高收入人群的比例提高

明白了。这题偶没有做出来的原因找到了。

是我把最后的那个IF的意思看颠倒了:

最后一句话,我本来认为:B答案:“因此,如果妇女的平均工资要想达到男性工资,则必须是那种认为女性的工作相对其他工作不重要的观念要改变(因为是这种观念造成了妇女的工资低)。”

实际上应该是:E答案“因此,如果妇女的平均工资想要达到男性工资,则必须是越来越多的女性进入不被传统观念认为的工作中(前面是后面的结果)。”

我选了D,和Jerryguan同样的原因,把if的意思看反了。题目说,Moreover,

although a large percentage of women than ever before are now entering

and remaining in the job market, most continue to gravitate toward the

pink-collar fields, despite the lower salaries.即使那些行业工资低,仍有

很多的妇女选择这些行业。所以,之后的if,说如果妇女的工资水平接近了men的水

平的话,就会有D的结果:更多的妇女从事那些传统行业。

是因为没有理解are to approach的意思吗?这里表达的是一种目的,而不是一个

条件?

不是这样的, if  之后可以是结果,  那么条件就是E

如果if 之后表示条件, 那么D中的must 改成 will 可能对. (D) the number of

jobs in the pink-collar fields relative to the size of the work force as

a whole must be markedly increased

请指证!!!
