Although clichés (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] According to the passage, the unreasonable male-dominated model is being______and can be replaced by a better model.
选项
答案
left behind
解析
空前的is和being表明,本空应填入过去分词或过去分词词组。由题干中的replaced将本题出处定位到末段倒数第二句。题干中的can be replaced by a better model是对该句的Maybe there is a humane modelthat can replace it的同义转述,the unreasonable male—dominated model则对应上句的that model dominated American society和it。题干为被动句,而we arenow leaving it behind为主动,将leaving behind改为过去分词形式left behind即为本题答案。
