This passage was adapted from an
article written in 1990.
Research data indicate that
there is a great deal of poverty in
the United States among single-
parent families headed by women.
(5) This problem could result from
the fact that women’s wages are
only 60 percent of men’s. Some
economists believe that rigorous
enforcement of existing equal pay
(10) laws would substantially decrease
this wage inequity. But equal pay
laws are ineffectual when women
and men are concentrated in different
occupations because such laws
(15) require only that women and men
doing the same jobs be paid the
same. Since gender concentration
exists (for example, 80 percent of
clerical workers are women), other
(20) economists argue that a comparable
worth standard, which would
mandate that women and men in
any jobs that require comparable
training and responsibility be paid
(25) the same, should be applied
instead. But some policy analysts
assert that, although comparable
worth would virtually equalize male
and female wages, many single-
(30) parent families headed by women
would remain in poverty because
many men earn wages that are
below the poverty line. These
policy analysts believe that the
(35) problem is not caused primarily by
wage inequity but rather by low
wages coupled with single parenthood, regardless of sex. As a
solution, they challenge the govern-
(40) ment’s assumption that a family’s
income should depend primarily on
wages and urge the government to
provide generous wage supplements
(child and housing allow-
(45) ances) to single parents whose
wages are low.
Q35:
The passage suggests that the United States government’s policy towards providing wage supplements to parents whose wages are low is
A. considered ill advised by most economists who have studied the issue
B. based on assumptions about the appropriate sources of family income
C. under revision in response to criticism from some policy analysts
D. capable of eliminating wage inequality but not of raising incomes for both women and men
E. applicable to single-parent families headed by women but not to single-parent families headed by men
答案是B,我选Ｃ
从文章最后一句话可以看出，Ｃ．
Ｂ是从哪里看出来的呢？
请指教？

B. based on assumptions about the appropriate sources of family income ^
** Appropriate =should, sources = depend on
As a solution, they challenge the govern-
[35] (40) ment’s assumption that a family’s
income should depend primarily on
wages and urge the government to
provide generous wage supplements
C 的urge是和challenge 并列的, 不属于assumption的范畴了, under revision是无关信息

C肯定错误，因为这个给单亲家庭给予额外补助只是一些学者提出的方案，通过最后一句话得知；但究竟这个方案得到了什么样的反馈，文章中并未交代，所以自然无法得出C中的under revision in response to criticism from some policy analysts了。

请问这里GOVERNMENT AND ANALYST对于ASSUMPTION 的态度各是什么？ 35题题目和答案能否请NN翻译一下。

我第一眼看到appropriate就把B淘汰了。文章说
they challenge the government's assumption that a family's income should depend primarily on
wages. 这应该是说政府对于家庭收入来源的认识是不对的，所以B中应该用inappropriate呀
我觉得C挺好啊

我做题目的时候看了半天。感觉主要是对问题的理解造成对答案的选择困难。
United States government’s policy towards providing wage supplements to parents whose wages are low
这句话的意思是不是这样：政府（给低收入父母工资补贴）的政策……
问题：
文章暗示政府的这种政策是……
答案B 基于对家庭收入的来源的正确假设。
因为原文反对原先政府的假设，即家庭收入来源主要来自于women的工资。而文章最后提出政府应该采取补贴的政策，这个政策当然来源于正确的假设……
请NN指点

没看清楚题目，题目问的是：文章提示United States government’s policy towards providing wage supplements to parents whose wages are low (这个政策)是? 这个政策正是文章提出的对现有政策不足的一个solution,而不是政府的现行政策。

这个政策怎么是solution？我认为这就是问现行政府的政策啊

35 B
providing wage supplements to parents whose wages are low 是policy analyst的建议，不是政府已经实施的措施
C 主要错误应该是under revision，文中没有评价 providing wage supplements to parents whose wages are low 这个计划，怎么能说under revision
作者: psycheps 时间: 2013-5-15 18:56
还是没懂题目问的到底是现行方案还是analysts的建议（感觉原文并没有讲政府有关于supplements的现行方案啊。）并且，如果C不对是因为没有revision的话，那又怎么能说现行方案的assumption是appropriate的？
请NN指教～
