As an opportunity to highlight women’s contributions, International Women’s Day has always served to commemorate (纪念) the cutting edge of the global women’s movement, from demanding better working conditions in US sweatshop factories of the early 1900s, to voting rights, pay equality and, more recently, promoting women’s leadership in politics and business. Recent years have featured women’s economic contributions, ranging from women producing nearly 90% of the food in Africa, to 7.8 million women-owned businesses in the U.S. with $1.2 trillion in total receipts. Yet qualified women are continually held back in their efforts to contribute at the highest levels of economic and financial leadership, while global policies and companies abandon the benefits.
The disappointing numbers of women participating at the World Economic Forum in January was one highly visible and public demonstration of the challenge: While we are well into the 21st century, many participants and observers at Davos this year expressed astonishment, and even anger, at the extremely low representation of women. In this era, there are many outstanding examples of women’s representation at the highest levels of political and corporate leadership, including Christine Lagarde, Sheryl Sandberg, and President Park Geun Hye. Yet even after the absence of women had been duly noted at the Forum last year, women’s representation at Davos this year actually dropped, from 17% to 16%. Likewise, despite numerous studies that show the financial and governance benefits of mixed gender boards, global corporate boardrooms remain male-dominated, with women accounting for less than 15% of public company corporate board positions.
For years, the explanation given for minimal board diversity has been a lack of qualified and experienced candidates. The solution offered was patience: Improvement was promised because of the rapidly growing number of women with middle and upper management experience. In fact, since the 1970s women’s graduation rates from the most famous universities around the world have climbed to equal those of their male counterparts. Since then, many have gained equivalent skills and experience in the private and public sectors.
Why does the author think the current situation of minimal board diversity will be improved?
选项
A、More and more women are equipped with sufficient skills and experience.
B、Men’s gradation rates in the most famous universities keep very low.
C、Women are able to obtain skills and experience from the most famous universities.
D、Mixed gender boards are showed to bring financial and governance benefits.
答案
A
解析
第3段第2句提到,情况好转是指日可待的(Improvement was promised),原因是拥有中高级管理经验的女性越来越多;第3、4句又提到在名校毕业的女性也越来越多,她们能获得与男性相等的技能和经验,综合上述信息可判定A“越来越多的女性具备足够的技能和经验”为答案。
