求WANGYU哥哥帮助一下:ＧＷＤ８－３５

看了讨论汇总也不是很懂．答案是Ｂ我选了Ａ，请问Ｂ和Ａ分别是什么意思，为什么这么选呢？？

Q35:

The passage suggests that the United States government’s policy towards providing wage supplements to parents whose wages are low is

1. considered ill advised by most economists who have studied the issue


2. based on assumptions about the appropriate sources of family income


3. under revision in response to criticism from some policy analysts


4. capable of eliminating wage inequality but not of raising incomes for both women and men


5. applicable to single-parent families headed by women but not to single-parent families headed by men

Q35 to Q37:

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 differ-

ent 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 compar-

         able 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 parent-

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 supple-

ments (child and housing allow-

(45)  ances) to single parents whose

wages are low.

请看看最后一句话，后半句they urge的内容。如有疑问，再议。

非常感谢WANGYU哥哥热心的帮助,但是appropriate sources怎么在原文中找到对应呢???

A是什么意思呢?怎么排除啊?

1. considered ill advised by most economists who have studied the issue>>
   
2. based on assumptions about the appropriate sources of family income>>
   
3. under revision in response to criticism from some policy analysts>>
   
4. capable of eliminating wage inequality but not of raising incomes for both women and men>>
   
5. applicable to single-parent families headed by women but not to single-parent families headed by men

那个A说"most economist"是不对的, 原文说的是"These policy analysts "怎样怎样.

所以A不对.>>

As a solution, they challenge the government’s assumption that a family’s income should depend primarily on wages [政府假定，家庭收入应主要依靠工资。这是对工资的单一来源的观点，受到了政策分析人士的挑战。]and urge the government to provide generous wage supplements (child and housing allowances to single parents whose wages are low.[这些人士敦促政府为低收入单亲家庭提供各类津贴。所以说有B选项，based on assumptions about the appropriate sources of family income，>>即家庭收入有适当的多个来源。(除工资这样一种适当的来源外，还有津贴等适当来源。)]
