问题 According to the passage, job segregation by sex in the United States was______ [br] The passage supports which of the following statements about the early mill owners mentioned in the second paragraph?
选项 A、They hoped that by creating relatively unattractive “female” jobs they would discourage women from losing interest in marriage and family life.
B、They sought to increase the size of the available labor force as a means to keep men’s to keep men’s wages low.
C、They argued that women were inherently suited to do well in particular kinds of factory work.
D、They thought that factory work bettered the condition of women by emancipating them from dependence on income earned by men.
E、They felt guilty about disturbing the traditional division of labor in family.
答案 C
解析 The best answer is C. In lines 19-21, the author states that early textile-kill owners “made much of the assumption that women were by nature skillful at detailed tasks and patient in carrying out repetitive chores.” Choice A is incorrect because the passage states that the early mill owners were interested in “justifying women’s employment in wage labor” (lines 18-19). Choices B and D can be eliminated because the passage does not state that the mill owners were interested in keeping men’s wages low or in bettering the condition of women. Choice E can be eliminated because the passage does not discuss mill owners’ attitudes toward the tradition division of labor in the family.
