Text 4 Europe is not a genderequality heaven.In particular,the corporate workplace will never be completely familyfriendly until women are part of senior management decisions,and Europe's top corporategovernance positions remain overwhelmingly male.Indeed,women hold only 14 percent of positions on Europe corporate boards.The Europe Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women—up to 60 percent.This proposed mandate was born of frustration.Last year,Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action.Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of 40 percent female board membership.But her appeal was considered a failure:only 24 companies took it up.Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairy as they balance work and family?“Personally,I don't like quotas,”Reding said recently.“But I like what the quotas do.”Quotas get action:they“open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,”according to Reding,a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.I understand Reding's reluctance—and her frustration.I don't like quotas either;they run counter to my belief in meritocracy,government by the capable.But,when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal,it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.After all,four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position—no matter how much“soft pressure”is put upon them.When women do break through to the summit of corporate power—as,for example,Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook—they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.If appropriate public policies were in place to help all women—whether CEOs or their children's caregivers—and all families,Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of____A.more social justiceB.massive media attentionC.suitable public policiesD.greater“soft pressure”
选项
A.more social justice
B.massive media attention
C.suitable public policies
D.greater“soft pressure”
答案
C
解析
细节题【命题思路】这是一道局部细节题,主要考查考生对于文章中具体信息之间逻辑关系的把握。【直击答案】题干是对第六段第二句话的同义改写,该段后半部分是举例,因此将本题答案定位在第七段。if引导的是虚拟条件句,表达作者对未来的期盼,也是作者观点:如果有合理的公共政策帮助女性与C项表达相符,因此是正确答案。【干扰排除】A项属于无中生有,尾段虽然提到公正的社会,并没有提及这些女性缺乏社会正义。B项定位到“When womendo break…exception to the rule”,选项内容是女性进入高层管理的结果,而不是原因,属于因果倒置。D项定位到“After all,four decades of evidence…is put upon them”,句子并没有说明女性缺乏“软压力”,并且,该信息并未提及进入高层的女性成为了头条新闻,故该选项属于无中生有。
