我觉得把这个suggest理解为建议就好理解了，但是这样的话，B中的is就应该是be了。。。

以下是引用eSpirit在2005-7-17 13:43:00的发言：

对啊，这题为什么不能选C呢？正像楼上所说的，C也是在文中第20行明确说的呀？

Q37:

According to the passage, some economists believe that, in the United States, there would be smaller differences between the wages of women and men who do the same jobs if

A. equal pay laws were enforced more fully

B. more stringent equal pay laws were passed

C. a more rigorous comparable worth standard were developed and applied

D. more men entered the occupations in which women are concentrated

E. women received the same kind and amount of job training that men receive

我试着解释一下：

C项错在“a more rigorous”。这个短语的含义其实是，comparable worth standard已经实施了，只不过还不够rigorous；应该是这样的吧，因为如果还没有实施，就没有比较对象，是不能够说是“a more rigorous”的。

而在文中，我们可以发现，comparable worth standard并没有被实施：

首先，19行说了，只是有other economists suggest这种standard，没有说已经被实施；

其次，28行说了，although comparable worth would virtually equalize male and female wages，仍然是说如果实施，将有这样的效果，但是还没有被实施。

因此，C项实际就是一个陷阱。不能选。

各位以为如何？

看来实战遇到短阅读不一定是进入低分题库。

问个题目以外的问题：

As a solution, they challenge the govern- (40) ment’s assumption that a family’s income should depend primarily on wages and urge the government to provide generous wage supplements (child and housing allow- (45) ances) to single parents whose wages are low.

这句话里面，如果政府的前提 income depend on wages是不对的，应该被challenge的，那后面经济学家的建议-给wages低的单亲家庭发补助的 --的依据不是也是wages吗？不是也是假设income 是wages了吗？

没有影响做题思考但是觉得不对啊？还是我对这句话理解错了

个人理解，wage和allawances是分开的吧。wage应该是从公司或者工作地领的薪水，后者是政府发放的额外补贴。
