Passage 55 (55/63)
(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 factor is 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, whichreveal 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


4.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.


我想问问第四题哈~为啥不选D喃？是因为原文没有给出decline的信息？ 但是这句话
Government policymakers should consider mandating benefit coverage for temporary employees, promoting pay equity between temporary and permanent workers  推不出来吗？

注意选项中是“ declined during the decade ”，在十年中下降了，原文定位只暗含了temporary和permanent的pay可能不平等，但这不代表temporary的pay就下降了，可能它上升了，只不过和permanent比起来不平等罢了，所以D扭曲了原文的意思。
