第七题问的就是黄色那句

The author implies that if the increase in the number of women in the work force and the impact of the women’s movement were the main causes of the rise in unionization of public-sector clerical workers, then

选C

(C) there would be an equivalent rise in unionization of private-sector clerical workers

如果公共部门工会化的上升是由于妇女劳动力的增加和妇女运动的影响,那么私人部门的工会化应该也会上升.就是对黄色部分的取非...我就是做错了这到题,怎么也不理解这句话,现在终于弄明白拉!多谢各位前辈的讨论!^-^

是啊，这句我也郁闷了半天，后面对应的题也错了

搞了半天是句意压根就理解错了……

这一段讲的是原因

原因一 更多妇女进入

原因二 女权运动

原因三 结构转变

the sentence underlied in yellow means that there is no comparable increase in unilization among private-sector clerical workers as that among public-sector clerical workers in that there is no structural change in the multi-occupational private-sector. The sentence is the provenance for question 7, which is a information question.

我也一样，看来GMAC果然阴险。感谢此地的讨论，我差点都要贴贴子咯

大家都惜字如金啊,一个字,2个字的解释,可谓精炼...

我来详细说说我的理解吧

这题难点在于,原文说法比较绕口,导致因果逻辑关系不够明显.
原文:

The absence of any comparable increase in unionization among
private-sector clerical workers, however, identifies the primary
catalyst—the structural change in the multi-occupational public-sector
unions themselves.
私人企业的职员加入工会的人数,没有相应(于公共领域的职员入会数量)的增长,(这一点)反过来揭示了主要的催化因素-----公共领域的跨职业工会自身的结构变化.

我
觉得 idetifies the primary catalyst说的比较阴险,如果改成 比如: shows the main
reason/cause of the increase in unionzaition of the public-sector
-----------就完全好理解了.

这里整出来一个catalyst(暗喻),后面又拖个同位语,让人不知道是关于什么事情的catalyst,这是最绕的地方.
什
么意思呢,就是说,私企工会职员(clerical
workers)加入工会的人数,并不象公共领域的职员那样(多),说明了,公共领域的这些变化,来自于公共领域跨职业工会自身的结构变化(言下之意:而
不是因为象NO7的题干说的,"是妇女劳力数量增加,和单单的女权运动的结果"----否则公共/私人企业这2个领域都要增加)

所以No7选C,如果女人劳动人数上升和女权运动是主因,那么会:
C,不分公私领域,加入工会的职员数量都会增加.


再举个例子:
(前提介绍:中日2国都和哈桑克斯坦踢球了,中国输了,日本赢了)

日本足球队战胜了哈萨克斯坦这个事实,揭示了原因-----中国足球队队员自身素质低下和黑社会习气作怪.

然后给你一个问题:

如果说人种差异是影响足球成绩的足要因素,那么:

C,中日2国足球队都不会战胜由白种人组成的哈萨克斯坦足球队.

这里光写原因2个字,确实不容易理解:读者会问,关于什么的原因啊?

我想问一下第四题

According to the passage, in the period prior to 1975,

  each of the following considerations helped determine

  whether a union would attempt to organize a certain 

  group of clerical workers EXCEPT

  (A) the number of clerical workers in that group
  (B) the number of women among the clerical workers

     in that group

  (C) whether the clerical workers in that area were

     concentrated in one workplace or scattered over

     several workplaces
  (D) the degree to which the clerical workers in that

     group were interested in unionization

  (E) whether all the other workers in the same juris-

     diction as that group of clerical workers were

     unionized

A为什么能够影响？不是第一段都在说clerical work 如果都不union那么就被ignore了么？没说有没有一部分加入的问题啊？？

ruru8ruru8

各选项皆可对应原文，除了Ｂ

Ａ：the presence of large numbers of workers, as in New York City,

Ｃ：or the concentration of small numbers in one or two locations, such as a hospital, to make it relatively easy,

Ｄ：Receptivity to unionization on the workers

Ｅ：In localities where clerical workers were few
                    in number, were scattered in several workplaces, and expressed no interest in being organized, unions more often than not ignored them in the pre-1975 period.

This comment is really very clear. It does help a lot to understand the original implication of the author.
