问题 According to the passage, job segregation by sex in the United States was______ [br] It can be inferred from the passage that the “unfinished revolution” the author mentions in line 13 refers to the______
选项 A、entry of women into the industrial labor market
B、recognition that work done by women as homemakers should be compensated at rates comparable to those prevailing in the service sector of the economy
C、development of a new definition of femininity unrelated to the economic forces of industrialism
D、introduction of equal pay for equal work in all professions
E、emancipation of women wage earners from gender-determined job allocation
答案 E
解析 The best answer is E. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, the author states that emancipation for women in factory work was “less profound than expected, for not even industrial wage labor has escaped continued sex segregation in the workplace.” The author goes on in the first sentence of the second paragraph to discuss “this unfinished revolution in the status of women”; the phrase “this unfinished revolution” refers back to the last sentence of the first paragraph, where the author has just mentioned the persistence of sex segregation in the industrialized work force. Choice A is incorrect because the first paragraph indicates that women have entered the industrial labor market. Choice C is wrong because the passage does not refer to any new definition of femininity unrelated to industrialism. Choices B and D are incorrect because the first paragraph discusses women’s work in terms of sex segregation and not in terms of equal pay for men and women in various professions.
