Passage 11

(This passage was adapted from an article written in 1992.)

Some observers have attributed the dramatic growth in temporary employment that occurred in the United States during the 1980’s to increased participation in the workforce by certain groups, such as first-time or reentering workers, who supposedly prefer such arrangements. However,statistical analyses reveal that demographic changes in the workforce did not correlate with variations in the total number of temporary workers. Instead, these analyses suggest that factors affecting employers account for the rise in temporary employment.One factoris product demand: temporary employment is favored by employers who are adapting to fluctuating demand for products while at the same time seeking to reduce overall labor costs. Another factor is labor’s reduced bargaining strength,which allows employers more control over the terms of employment. Given the analyses, which reveal that growth in temporary employment now far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of groups said to prefer temporary jobs, firms should be discouraged from creating excessive numbers of temporary positions. Government policymakers should consider mandating benefit coverage for temporary employees, promoting pay equity between temporary and permanent workers, assisting labor unions in organizing temporary workers, and encouraging firms to assign temporary jobs primarily to employees who explicitly indicate that preference.

53.The passage suggests which of the following about the use of temporary employment by firms during the 1980’s?
(A) It enabled firms to deal with fluctuating product demand far more efficiently than they before the 1980’s.  
(B) It increased as a result of increased participation in the workforce by certain demography groups.  
(C) It was discouraged by government-mandated policies.
(D) It was a response to preferences indicated by certain employees for more flexible working arrangements.
(E) It increased partly as a result of workers’ reduced ability to control the terms of their employment .
答案E，A为什么不对？不正好是factor one 吗？

54.The passage suggests which of the following about the workers who took temporary jobs during the 1980’s?
(A) Their jobs frequently led to permanent positions within firms.
(B) They constituted a less demographically diverse group than has been suggested.  
(C) They were occasionally involved in actions organized by labor unions.
(D) Their pay declined during the decade in comparison with the pay of permanent employees.
(E) They did not necessarily prefer temporary employment to permanent employment.
看了OG解释E应该是“far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of groups said to prefer temporary jobs”同义表达，但是E应该怎么翻译？

我看了一下，首先文章说Some observers have attributed the dramatic growth in temporary employment that occurred in the United States during the 1980’s to increased participation in the workforce by certain groups
这句话与a是对应的然后紧跟however，是these analyses suggest that factors affecting employers account for the rise in temporary employment，然后 one factor and another factor 在说1雇主灵活雇佣，2工人讨价能力减少。工厂有了更大的控制力，
最后给出结论Given the analyses, which reveal that growth in temporary employment now far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of groups said to prefer temporary jobs, firms should be discouraged from creating excessive numbers of temporary positions
本题选e
部分对应第二个factor
而a对应的是however前
你问的第二题
e说的是工人们不是更加喜欢临时工相比稳定的工作而言
根据上一个分析，文章确实在说工人们更多的人是因为无奈.
所以选了e

你解释得很清楚，谢谢，我刚才又看了一遍OG解释，第一个OG解释A，没有和1980以前进行比较。

edwardelric

谢谢你，a无比较无结果~
我的word上a是b选项...看着word说的，唉

应该强烈的谢谢你才是啊！！

A 对应第一个factor, 对付产品需求变化，错在后半句，跟1980之前对比，而且还"far more"，看见就丢。
(A) It enabled firms to deal with fluctuating product demand far more efficiently than they before the 1980’s.

绝大多数是这样的，但是rc要当成cr做才是真正准确的解体方法~
