GWD-12-Q8 to GWD-12-Q10:

      Acting on the recommen-

       dation of a British government

       committee investigating the

Line       high incidence in white lead

  (5)       factories of illness among

employees, most of whom

were women, the Home Sec-

retary proposed in 1895 that

Parliament enact legislation

 (10)      that would prohibit women from

holding most jobs in white lead

factories.  Although the

Women’s Industrial Defence

Committee (WIDC), formed

 (15)      in 1892 in response to earlier

legislative attempts to restrict

women’s labor, did not dis-

count the white lead trade’s

potential health dangers, it

 (20)       opposed the proposal, view-

       ing it as yet another instance

       of limiting women’s work

opportunities.  Also opposing

the proposal was the Society

 (25)      for Promoting the Employment

of Women (SPEW), which

attempted to challenge it by

investigating the causes of ill-

ness in white lead factories.

 (30)      SPEW contended, and WIDC

concurred, that controllable

conditions in such factories

       were responsible for the devel-

opment of lead poisoning.

 (35)
                        SPEW provided convincing

evidence that lead poisoning

could be avoided if workers

were careful and clean and

      if already extant workplace

 (40)     safety regulations were

stringently enforced.  How-

ever, the Women’s Trade

Union League (WTUL), which

had ceased in the late 1880’s

 (45)      to oppose restrictions on

women’s labor, supported the

eventually enacted proposal,

in part because safety regu-

lations were generally not

 (50)      being enforced in white lead

factories, where there were no

unions (and little prospect of

any) to pressure employers to

comply with safety regulations.

GWD-29-Q21:

The passage suggests that WIDC differed from WTUL in which of the following ways?

             

1. WIDC believed that the existing safety regulations were adequate to protect women’s health, whereas WTUL believed that such regulations needed to be strengthened.
2. 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.
3. 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.

4. 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.
5. At the time that WIDC was opposing legislative attempts to restrict women’s labor, WTUL had already ceased to do so.

偶选E。C中“whereas WTUL believed that lead poisoning in such factories could not be avoided no matter how stringently safety regulations were enforced.”表达有误，WTUL是觉得执行不够，而不是认为“再严厉的执行也没效果”
