Although cliches(陈词滥调)about the "vulnerability" of women in the economy have been disproved by hard Bureau of Labor Statistics(BLS)data, we want to believe them. When women lose jobs, the victims are women. When men lose jobs, the victims are, um, women, because they have to make up for that lost male income. The scale of male job losses was evident even when the stimulus bill was passed. That did not stop incoming Congressman Jared Polis, a Colorado Democrat, from warning Obama that "gender imbalance in occupations related to basic facility development means that the direct job creation will benefit mostly men".
Men still make up 53% of the workforce, and the percentage of society’s work they do is considerably higher, owing to women’s shorter hours and more frequent leave for child-rearing. In prosperous times, women may yearn for more time at home. But economic realities have a way of washing away these yearnings. One such reality is the recession. Another is that women receive 58% of the bachelor’s degrees in this country, along with half the professional degrees.
Should we expect men to give up some control over an economy they have so thoroughly messed up? No. We have no examples of that ever having happened. What we have plenty of examples of — you can see variants of it all over the developing world — is economies in which women do all the demanding work while men sit around smoking and chatting in coffeehouses and barbershops. For decades, policymakers have been attentive to the flaws of a patriarchal(父权制), middle-class, single-earner, nuclear-family-oriented model of family economics — and their attention remains fixed on it. Whether or not that model dominated American society as much as its critics claimed, we are now leaving it behind. Maybe there is a humane model that can replace it. We have not found one yet. [br] The author suggests that men would not pass______to women even if it was in trouble.
选项
答案
any control over an economy
解析
空前的pass表明,本空应填入名词或名词短语。由题干中的would not pass将本题出处定位到末段前两句。这两句以问答形式指出男性不会将经济的控制权转让给女性,即使在他们的控制下经济已经成了一团糟。题干中的pass对应该段首句中的give up,even if it wasin trouble是对该句中they have so thoroughly messed up的同义转述。末段第二句对首句的问题做出了否定回答,因题干为否定句,将give up后的宾语some control over economy改为any control over economy即为本题答案。
