问题     Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one of Rome’s main avenues. Italy’s political leaders and some of its male union chiefs are said to have been even more puzzled to see that the tractor was followed by about 200,000 women in a parading procession that took more than three hours to snake through central Rome.
    Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the women had come to the capital from all over Italy to demonstrate for "a job for each of us, a different type of job, and a society without violence." So far, action to improve women’s opportunities in employment has been the province of collective industrial bargaining. "But there is a growing awareness that this is not enough," says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded Institute for the Development of Professional Training for works.
    Women, who constitute 52 percent of Italy’s population, today represent only 35 percent of Italy’s total workforce and 33 percent of the total number of Italian with jobs. However, their presence in the workplace is growing. The employment of women is expanding considerably in services, next to the public administration and commerce as their principal workplace. Official statistics also show that women have also made significant strides in self-employment. More and more women are going into business for themselves. Many young women are turning to business because of growing overall in employment. It is also a fact that today many prejudices have disappeared, so that banks and other financial institutes make judgments on purely business considerations without caring if it is a man or woman.
    Such changes are occurring in the professions too. The number of women doctors, dentists, lawyers , engineers and university professors increased two to three fold. Some of the changes are immediately visible. For example, women have appeared on the scene for the first time as state police, railway workers and street cleaners.
    However, the present situation is far from satisfactory though some progress has been made. A breakthrough in equal opportunities for women is now demanded.
Which of the following is not true according to the last paragraph?
选项 A、Some progress in female employment has been made.
B、The present situation is far more satisfying.
C、There are still not enough job opportunities for women.
D、More progress of female employment is still demanded.
答案B
解析 最后一段话只有两句，大意是说虽然有进步，但是情况仍然不理想。因此我们还需要为了女性能够获得平等的工作机会而努力。选项B偷换文章概念，对应最后一段的第一句前半部分，文章说的是现在的情况离满意很远，也就是说现在的情况是不能令人满意的，因此选项B与文章意思相反。剩下的选项A、C、D其实都是文章内容的同义替换。
