选项 A、well founded though incomplete
B、difficult to arciculate
C、plausible but poorly substantiated
D、seriously flawed
E、contrary to recent research
答案 A
解析 This question asks you to make a judgment about the author’s attitude toward the human capital explanation for women’s distribution among certain types of jobs in the seventeenth-century Florentine textile industry. The best answer is A. The author presents the human-capital theory as one that explains the disparate concentrations of female workers in certain jobs, but also notes that the theory fails to account for differences in pay scales. The author also specifically characterizes the human capital theory as “useful” (line 3). Thus the theory is presented as valid, yet insufficient to account for all aspects of labor segregation by gender. Choice B is incorrect because there is no indication that the author finds the explanation provided by human capital theory difficult to express. Choices C and D are incorrect because the author characterizes the human capital theory as ‘useful” (line 3) and presents it as a theory that can explain a relatively complex feature of women’s labor history-namely, the varied concentration of women in certain occupations in seventeenth-century Florence. Thus it is unlikely that the author considers the explanation itself to be poorly substantiated, and certain the author does not consider it seriously flawed. Choice E is not correct because the author does not discuss recent research in the passage.
