Earlier this month,the White House Council on Women and Girls released a historic report on the condition of women in America. It is the first time since 1963 that the government has released such a detailed report on the subject.
The report is called "Women in America: Indicators of Social and Economic Well-Being". The report says women have made major progress in several important areas. But, it says,there is still much work to be done.
Women today are more educated, have better jobs and earn better pay than at any other time in history. (26) There are also more women than men graduating from high school,enrolling in college and attending graduate school. In fact,women are expected to represent nearly 60 percent of all college undergraduate enrollments by the year 2019.
All of these advances represent major progress for women. However, the White House report also noted some serious problems.
For example,female workers continue to be paid less than male workers. The report said that in 2009 women at all educational levels earned about 70 percent of what men earned. Women were also more likely than men to live in poverty. (27) This was especially true for unmarried women with children. Twenty-eight percent of this group had income levels that were below the poverty line.
(28) President Obama said countries are more peaceful and successful when their female citizens enjoy equal rights, equal voices and equal chances for success. He also said the United States must lead by example in protecting women’s rights and supporting their empowerment. Women are 51 percent of the total population in America.
26. What progress do women make in the past decades?
27. Which group is the most likely to live in poverty according to the passage?
28. What does President Obama mean?
选项
A、Female workers are paid more than male workers.
B、Women outnumbered men in senior positions.
C、More women attend college and graduate school.
D、Women get more privileges in political life.
答案
C
解析
研究报告说女性在很多重要方面取得了很大的进步。例如女性教育程度更高,工作更好,薪水也比以往任何时候都高。甚至高中毕业、进人大学或成为研究生的女性也比男性要多。预计2019年本科生中女性将占60%。故答案为C)。
