问题 According to the passage, job segregation by sex in the United States was______
It can be inferred from the passage that early historians of women’s labor in the United States paid little attention to women’s employment in the service sector of the economy because______

选项 A、the extreme variety of these occupations made it very difficult to assemble meaningful statistics about them
B、fewer women found employment in the service sector than in factory work
C、the wages paid to workers in the service sector were much lower than those paid in the industrial sector
D、women’s employment in the service sector tended to be much more short-term than in factory work
E、employment in the service sector seemed to have much in common with the unpaid work associated with homemaking

答案E

解析 The best answer is E. In lines 4-7 the author states that historians of women’s labor in the United States focused on factory work rather than the service sector because factory work “seemed so different from traditional, unpaid ‘women’ work’ in the home.” By indicating that historians preferred to study women’s work in factories rather than women’s work in the service sector because factory work seemed less like women’s work at home, the passage suggests that historians believed that women’s work in the service sector was similar to women’s work at home. Choice A is incorrect because the passage does not discuss statistics. Choices B, C, and D can be eliminated because the passage does not compare women factor workers and women service workers.
