标题: gwd 8 35

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-
Line 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 parent22
hood, 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
Answer: 为什么是b 呢?

(40) ment’s assumption that a family’s

how about 37

According to the passage, some economists believe that, in the United States, there would be smaller differences between the wages of women and men who do the same jobs if

A. equal pay laws were enforced more fully

B. more stringent equal pay laws were passed

C. a more rigorous comparable worth standard were developed and applied

D. more men entered the occupations in which women are concentrated

E. women received the same kind and amount of job training that men receive

the answer is A, I have no idea how to locate it in the passage.

Q36。 Which of the following is most clearly an example of the policy advocated by the policy analysts mentioned in line 26

A government provides training to women who wish to move out of occupations in which women are concertrated.
A government supports research that analyzes the connection between wage inequality and poverty among single parent families headed by women.
A government surveys wages annually to make certain that women and men in the same jobs receive the same pay.
A government analyzes jobs in term of the education and responsibility they require and publishes a list of jobs that should be considered equivalent for wage purposes.

E.A government provides large rent subsidies to single parents whose wages are less than half the average worker’s wage.

这题为什么是答案E，从文中又是怎样推出的。我想了很久啦

这T问以下那个是26行中提到的那个POLICY的例子. 那个POLICY就是COMPARABLE WORTH STANDARD. 也就是相同技术含量相同报酬啊. 那不就是D吗?

怎么会是E呢?

题目问的是：Q36。 Which of the following is most clearly an example of the policy advocated by the policy analysts mentioned in line 26
这里的policy是advocated by the policy analysts mentioned in line 26，就是analysts提倡的政策。

文中提到三类人的观点：

Some economists 提倡加强执法，同工同酬

other economists 提倡立新法，同价值同酬

analysts 提倡政府补贴

我能问个巨弱智的问题吗，大家千万别笑我

But some policy analysts assert that, although comparable worth would virtually equalize male and female wages, because many men earn wages that are below the poverty line.

这句话many single-parent families headed by women would remain in poverty 和男人的工资在贫穷线下有什么关系啊？

尽管男女同工同酬了，但是因为很多男人的薪水就在贫困线以下，所以很多单亲妈妈的收入也在贫困线以下（因为新水一样嘛！）可以认为是逻辑上的前提和结论的关系。

题目：文章暗示美国政府对于提供给低收入家庭工资补助的政策是什么？

B：基于家庭收入的适当来源的假设

怎么我还是没读懂B选项为什么对？它和文章哪里对应起来了？傻了

作者: IceOnMe 时间: 2005-5-6 14:42

接20楼, 为什么有人提倡政府给单亲家庭予以补助呢?是因为这些人认为,这些单亲家庭的收入不足以支付各种生活开支,因为不管是男是女,他们的工资都不高(低于贫困线下)

These policy analysts believe that the problem is not caused primarily by wage inequity but rather by low wages coupled with single parent hood, regardless of sex.

以上就说了如果是双亲家庭, 尽管工资都低,但加起来可以cover生活需要,但因为现在是单亲,所以就贫困了.

再修改一下你的问题:

题目：文章暗示美国政府对于提供给低收入家庭工资补助的政策是(什么？B：)基于(对)家庭收入的适当来源的假设

这样的中文读上去是不是挺通?

作者: leslie123456789 时间: 2005-5-6 15:28

非常感谢ice gg，但是我还是没明白。

如果对答案取非，文章暗示美国政府对于提供给低收入家庭工资补助的政策是(什么？B：)基于(对)家庭收入的不适当来源的假设，那样又会有什么问题呢？

我主要不理解为什么家庭收入一定是适当的，不适当就不可以。继续请教！

我选的是E，因为没别的可选，可是现在看看觉着E也是有问题的，

E.A government provides large rent subsidies to single parents whose wages are less than half the average worker’s wage

文章只说到了below poverty line，这个half the average是从哪里来的呢？

E. women received the same kind and amount of job training that men receive

我试着解释一下：

C项错在“a more rigorous”。这个短语的含义其实是，comparable worth standard已经实施了，只不过还不够rigorous；应该是这样的吧，因为如果还没有实施，就没有比较对象，是不能够说是“a more rigorous”的。

而在文中，我们可以发现，comparable worth standard并没有被实施：

首先，19行说了，只是有other economists suggest这种standard，没有说已经被实施；

其次，28行说了，although comparable worth would virtually equalize male and female wages，仍然是说如果实施，将有这样的效果，但是还没有被实施。

因此，C项实际就是一个陷阱。不能选。

各位以为如何？

这句话里面，如果政府的前提 income depend on wages是不对的，应该被challenge的，那后面经济学家的建议-给wages低的单亲家庭发补助的 --的依据不是也是wages吗？不是也是假设income 是wages了吗？

个人理解，wage和allawances是分开的吧。wage应该是从公司或者工作地领的薪水，后者是政府发放的额外补贴。
