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.
The President Park Geun Hye is mentioned to show that_______.
选项
A、global policies and companies benefit from female executives
B、the absence of women in political leadership has been duly noticed
C、the number of women representatives at Davos actually dropped this year
D、there are already women existing in the highest level of political leadership
答案
D
解析
本题询问举例的作用,例子都是为说明论点而服务的,故答案应该是例子前后的论点。第2段第2句前半部分指出,在这个年代,已存在许多女性位居政治或商业最高领导层的例子,而Park Geun nye总统很好地说明了有女性位居政治领导的最高层,故D“已有女性位居政治领导最高层”正确。
