gwd 8 Q35

TerraceHo

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……

    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。
