以下是引用v22在2005-9-15 21:02:00的发言: The passage does not tell any information about the legislation's motives.It just tell the action and propsal toward woman working in lead factury
以下是引用luckypf99在2007-4-7 6:39:00的发言: GWD29-Q21 The passage suggests that WIDC differed from WTUL in which of the following ways?
WIDC believed that the existing safety regulations were adequate to protect women’s health, whereas WTUL believed that such regulations needed to be strengthened.
WIDC believed that unions could not succeed in pressuring employers to comply with such regulations, whereas WTUL believed that unions could succeed in doing so.
WIDC believed that lead poisoning in white lead factories could be avoided by controlling conditions there, whereas WTUL believed that lead poisoning in such factories could not be avoided no matter how stringently safety regulations were enforced.
At the time that the legislation concerning white lead factories was proposed, WIDC was primarily concerned with addressing health conditions in white lead factories, whereas WTUL was concerned with improving working conditions in all types of factories.
At the time that WIDC was opposing legislative attempts to restrict women’s labor, WTUL had already ceased to do so answer: E, but why not C?????
首先看看一楼说的AB之间的区分问题。 这道题我已开始也是选错了,因为忽略了后面的motives。为什么有motives就错了呢?我认为,全文看下来,只有WIDC怀疑了这项法案出台的动机,并推理出其他的解决方案。而其他的组织,WTUL,仅仅就事论事地通过驳斥WIDC的solution来解释法案为什么必须要出台——不能天真地相信工厂会自己保障工作的卫生条件。从以上推理中,我们已经能隐隐约约地察觉到原文是在着重讲它们站在不同的position,并如何为自己的position辩护。这样一来选B就合情合理了。 其次,再根据我自己的理解回答一下25楼的问题。 E选项是完全可以从原文中推断出来的。从“Women’s Industrial Defence Committee (WIDC), formed in 1892 in response to earlier legislative attempts to restrict women’s labor”这里,我们得知WIDC是1892年成立的,其宗旨是保障妇女的就业自由不受限制;而从“ However, the Women’s Trade Union League (WTUL), which had ceased in the late 1880’s to oppose restrictions on women’s labor”中,我们可以看到WTUL在19世纪80年代就已经 不 反对限制妇女就业自由了。所以选项E就是以上推断的缩写。 C选项乍看好像是对的,但是错在细节。C选项说,WTUL反对的理由是无论安全法规贯彻得多么严格,工厂还是不能保证白粉白的安全。但是原文中WTUL反对的理由不是这个,而是安全法规根本不能得到贯彻。因此排除C,选E。
