[求助]有没有人做过GWD-8-Q35-Q37不~?

GWD-8-Q35-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-parent families headed by women. 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 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 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 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 the same, should be applied instead. But some policy analysts assert that, although comparable worth would virtually equalize male and female wages, many single-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 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 government’s assumption that a family’s income should depend primarily on wages and urge the government to provide generous wage supplements (child and housing allowances) to single-parents whose wages are low.

GWD-8-Q37:

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

不明白为什么选A啊?明明是选C嘛...

I think A is based on the 3rd sentence of the passage, "Some economists believe that rigorous enforcement of existing equal pay laws would substantially decrease this wage inequity.
        
", which better fits the question of "..., 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..."

C is not correct because "But some policy analysts assert that, although comparable worth would virtually equalize male and female wages, many single-parent families headed by women would remain in poverty...." , also it's an idea of "some policy analysts", not "some economists"

I got it wrong myself. Looks like we need to pay more attention to whom the question is talking about.

对于这道题发表点自己的看法:

我上来也是选的C,看了答案又仔细看了看题目,发现的确应该选A。因为题目上有一点who do the same job。也就是问如何减少那些做同样工作的男性女性的收入差距。

a more comparable standard should be developed and applied 说的是那些男性和女性不是做同种工作的,也就是针对文中gender concentration exists的情况提出的。所以C不对,A正确。

个人想法,欢迎批评指正。
