B is wrong. B: 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. But in the original article, it is said that " 我觉得B是对的 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.(They agree that the EEOC ruling on maternity-leave policy had an initial impact on employers’ creation of maternity-leave programs,前面学者认为老板们对EEOC有影响,但作者并没有反驳 ) 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. 从转折之后是另一个TOPIC,也就是B选项里的BUT之后的内容( but disagree over whether the Supreme Court’s striking down of the EEOC ruling weakened that impact.) ( but disagree over whether the Supreme Court’s striking down of the EEOC ruling weakened that impact.) 这里学者认为是是growing feminization of the workforce,误认为女性劳工才是老板妇女产假 政策的原因 ,但作者的观点是have failed to recognize its effects,意思就是学者没有看清 Supreme Court’s striking down of the EEOC ruling weakened that impact 全篇文章作者的观点只在 Yet perhaps 后面才表述出来,之前都是说学者怎么认为 而D中 disagree about employers’ motivations for doing so.开始学者认为他们不是自愿的,但作者根本就没有反对这个观点 所以我觉得还是B要好些 |
