GWD上找到RC妇女产假的原文,答案有疑问,大家帮看看

27题我觉得肯定该选D呀,可答案是B,考试到底该选什么?

Q25 to Q27:

      Many politicians, business leaders,

       and scholars discount the role of

       public policy and emphasize the role

Line       of the labor market when explaining

  (5)      employers’ maternity-leave policies,

arguing that prior to the passage of

the Family and Medical Leave Act

(FMLA) of 1993, employers were

already providing maternity leave in

 (10)      response to the increase in the number

of women workers.  Employers did

create maternity-leave programs

in the 1970’s and 1980’s, but not as

a purely voluntary response in the

 (15)      absence of any government mandate.

In 1972, the Equal Employment

Opportunity Commission (EEOC) ruled

that employers who allowed leaves

for disabling medical conditions must

 (20)      also allow them for maternity and that

       failure to do so would constitute sex

       discrimination under the Civil Rights

Act of 1964.  As early as 1973, a

survey found that 58 percent of large

 (25)      employers had responded with new

maternity-leave policies.  Because the

1972 EEOC ruling was contested in

court, the ruling won press attention

that popularized maternity-leave

 (30)      policies.  Yet perhaps because the

Supreme Court later struck down

the ruling, politicians and scholars

       have failed to recognize its effects,

assuming that employers adopted

 (35)
                       maternity-leave policies in response

to the growing feminization of the

workforce.

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

Q25:

It can be inferred that the author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about government policy?

             

  1. Government policy is generally unaffected by pressures in the labor market.
  2. The impact of a given government policy is generally weakened by sustained press attention.
  3. It is possible for a particular government policy to continue to have an impact after that policy has been eliminated.
  4. A given government policy can be counterproductive when that policy has already unofficially been implemented.
  5. The impact of a given government policy is generally weakened when the ruling is contested in court.

Answer: C

Q26:  Missing!

Q27:

NOTE:  You must scroll to read the answer choices for this question.

 

The passage suggests that the relationship between the view of the author with respect to maternity leave policy prior to passage of the FMLA and the view of the politicians, business leaders, and scholars mentioned in lines 1-2 can best be characterized by which of the following statements?

             

  1. They agree that both the 1972 EEOC ruling on maternity-leave policy and the increasing feminization of the workplace had an impact on employers’ creation of maternity-leave programs but disagree about the relative importance of each factor.
  2. They agree that the EEOC ruling on maternity-leave policy had an initial impact on employers’ creation of maternity-leave programs but disagree over whether the Supreme Court’s striking down of the EEOC ruling weakened that impact.
  3. They agree that creating maternity-leave programs was a necessary response to the needs of the increasing number of women workers but disagree about whether maternity should be classified as a disabling medical condition.
  4. They agree that employers created maternity-leave programs prior to passage of the FMLA but disagree about employers’ motivations for doing so.
  5. They agree that employers created maternity-leave programs prior to passage of the FMLA but disagree about how widespread those programs were.

Answer: D  B

同学这道题肯定选D 因为提问的是passage of the FMLA  但是B是EEOC 显然B是符合文章的上下文的 但是 不是问题中问的要害
