Research data indicate that

there is a great deal of poverty in

the United States among single-

Line     parent families headed by women.

(5)        This problem could result from

the fact that women’s wages are

only 60 percent of men’s. Some

economists believe that rigorous

enforcement of existing equal pay

(10)      laws would substantially decrease

this wage inequity. But equal pay

laws are ineffectual when women

and men are concentrated in different

occupations because such laws

(15)      require only that women and men

doing the same jobs be paid the

same. Since gender concentration

exists (for example, 80 percent of

clerical workers are women), other

(20)      economists argue that a comparable

worth standard, which would

mandate that women and men in

any jobs that require comparable

training and responsibility be paid

(25)      the same, should be applied

instead. But some policy analysts

assert that, although comparable

worth would virtually equalize male

and female wages, many single-

(30)      parent families headed by women

would remain in poverty because

many men earn wages that are

below the poverty line. These

policy analysts believe that the

(35)      problem is not caused primarily by

wage inequity but rather by low

wages coupled with single parent

hood, regardless of sex. 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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD-8-Q35 :

The passage suggests that the United States government’s policy towards providing wage supplements to parents whose wages are low is

1. considered ill advised by most economists who have studied the issue



2. based on assumptions about the appropriate sources of family income



3. under revision in response to criticism from some policy analysts



4. capable of eliminating wage inequality but not of raising incomes for both women and men



5. applicable to single-parent families headed by women but not to single-parent families headed by men

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD-8-Q36:

Which of the following is most clearly an example of the policy advocated by the policy analysts mentioned in line 26 ?

1. A government provides training to women who wish to move out of occupations in which women are concentrated.



2. A government supports research that analyzes the connection between wage inequality and poverty among single-parent families headed by women.



3. A government surveys wages annually to make certain that women and men in the same jobs receive the same pay.



4. A government analyzes jobs in terms of the education and responsibility they require and publishes a list of jobs that should be considered equivalent for wage purposes.



5. A government provides large rent subsidies to single parents whose wages are less than half the average worker’s wage.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD-8-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

1. equal pay laws were enforced more fully



2. more stringent equal pay laws were passed



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



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



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

GWD-8-Q20:

Not only did the systematic clearing of forests in the United States create farmland (especially in the Northeast) and gave consumers relatively inexpensive houses and furniture, but it also caused erosion and very quickly deforested whole regions.

还有这题。D是不是定下了?我觉得这题我喜欢D，因为这个not only but also不符合句子的逻辑意思。所以，不需要讨论not only but also 平行的问题，因为那根本不该用在这里。所以，我觉得D更符合句子原来要表达的意思。

另外，上面的阅读3题我都没有明白，到底大家都选了什么？

这篇阅读我选了BCA.

20题好像确实是D更符合逻辑意思.

这篇太奇怪了。我一题没对。能说说是怎么理解的吗？特别３７题。我选了Ｃ。

到今天反而这篇错很多，担心。。。

谢谢来捧场。我最想突破的是阅读。因为我觉得，如果文章能看懂，题目做错是很可惜的。如果阅读能再提高一下，我觉得会对SC也有好处的。所以我最近时间都在阅读上。情况还是好好坏坏。

不过我还是很喜欢XY GWD，没有重复题很好。

有道理，我的阅读最烂了，正确率一直在50－60％之间，倒是稳定，hoho

好好学习，吃点好吃的，长长精神

Aegean,其实我们还是可以讨论的。我前面做了没有讨论过。沧海开始做了。他会把问题帖过来，所以我们可以一起讨论。：D

关于吃，昨天跑朋友家party了，她父母来了，给我们做了地道中国菜。我总算吃上人饭了。。大饱口福了一次。回来兴奋，一下子还做了点阅读。

如果什么情绪都能用复习的方法来发泄就好了。那学习进步得多块啊
