GWD-12-Q8 to GWD-12-Q10:

Acting on the recommen-

dation of a British government

committee investigating the

Line high incidence in white lead

(5) factories of illness among

employees, most of whom

were women, the Home Sec-

retary proposed in 1895 that

Parliament enact legislation

(10) that would prohibit women from

holding most jobs in white lead

factories. Although the

Women’s Industrial Defence

Committee (WIDC), formed

(15) in 1892 in response to earlier

legislative attempts to restrict

women’s labor, did not dis-

count the white lead trade’s

potential health dangers, it

(20) opposed the proposal, view-

ing it as yet another instance

of limiting women’s work

opportunities. Also opposing

the proposal was the Society

(25) for Promoting the Employment

of Women (SPEW), which

attempted to challenge it by

investigating the causes of ill-

ness in white lead factories.

(30) SPEW contended, and WIDC

concurred, that controllable

conditions in such factories

were responsible for the devel-

opment of lead poisoning.

(35) SPEW provided convincing

evidence that lead poisoning

could be avoided if workers

were careful and clean and

if already extant workplace

(40) safety regulations were

stringently enforced. How-

ever, the Women’s Trade

Union League (WTUL), which

had ceased in the late 1880’s

(45) to oppose restrictions on

women’s labor, supported the

eventually enacted proposal,

in part because safety regu-

lations were generally not

(50) being enforced in white lead

factories, where there were no

unions (and little prospect of

any) to pressure employers to

comply with safety regulations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD-12-Q8:

Which of the following, if true, would most clearly support the contention attributed to SPEW in lines 30-34 (“SPEW contended … lead poisoning”) ?

  1. Those white lead factories that most strongly enforced regulations concerning worker safety and hygiene had the lowest incidences of lead poisoning among employees.
  2. The incidence of lead poisoning was much higher among women who worked in white lead factories than among women who worked in other types of factories.
  3. There were many household sources of lead that could have contributed to the incidence of lead poisoning among women who also worked outside the home in the late nineteenth century.
  4. White lead factories were more stringent than were certain other types of factories in their enforcement of workplace safety regulations.
  5. Even brief exposure to the conditions typically found in white lead factories could cause lead poisoning among factory workers.

Answer: (A)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD-12-Q9:

According to the passage, the WIDC believed that the proposed legislation resembled earlier legislation concerning women’s labor in that it

  1. caused divisiveness among women’s organizations
  2. sought to protect women’s health
  3. limited women’s occupational opportunities
  4. failed to bolster workplace safety regulations
  5. failed to make distinctions among types of factory work

Answer: (C)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD-12-Q10:

The passage is primarily concerned with

  1. presenting various groups’ views of the motives of those proposing certain legislation
  2. contrasting the reasoning of various groups concerning their positions on certain proposed legislation
  3. tracing the process whereby certain proposed legislation was eventually enacted
  4. assessing the success of tactics adopted by various groups with respect to certain proposed legislation
  5. evaluating the arguments of various groups concerning certain proposed legislation

找不到参考答案.

第十题选B,8A9C。

第十题中,A中的错误在motives(文中不同groups的view可不是关于motives的,E错在evaluate,要想evaluate,作者怎么也得对每个观点提点说法吧,但这里作者只是简单的列出了几个观点,显然没有evaluate。而且几个选项比下来,B说的很全面,用词也准确。

GWD的阅读经常在小词上搞事情,一般大体的描述让人看着好象都是那么回事,但每个选项比较关键的限定词就漏了底了
