The Present Recession Affects Women More Than Men
If men were the first to lose their jobs in the heart of the economic crisis in the United States, a study now shows a(0). B... trend, women,【C1】______mothers today, are suffering the collateral effects, while the American economy is back on the road to growth.
According to a report by the Joint Economic Committee of American Congress, American men were the most affected at the beginning of the crisis as over-【C2】______in most key sectors such as building and industry. Today, they are finding jobs, unlike women and especially single mothers. Between October 2009 and March 2010, women have lost 22,000 jobs while men have found 260,000 jobs, a 【C3】______ by that Committee. According to the chairwoman of this Committee, Democrat Carolyn Maloney, the conclusions of the survey show that single women were particularly affected, with an【C4】______rate that【C5】______from 8 percent to 13.6 percent between the year 2007 to 2009.
【C6】______, one third of jobs destroyed during the current recession were【C7】______by women, said Ms. Maloney. For example, it was discovered that during【C8】______ recessions, this percentage was lower: Women have been affected by 15 percent of job losses during the recession of 2001. While women are losing more jobs, their families are more【C9】______on women incomes, said Carolyn Maloney.
In 2009, 3. 3 million women worked part time for【C10】______ reasons, the report said. Either because they had not found a full-time employment or their working hours had been reduced to part time.

Example:
A obvious B reverse C reverent D opposite
【C4】
选项
A、unemployment
B、employment
C、unemployed
D、employed
答案
A
解析
综合辨析题。首先确定各个选项单词的含义。A项意为“失业,失业人数”;B项意为“工作,职业,雇用,使用”;C项意为“失业的,闲着的”;D项意为“受雇佣的,被使用的”。这里需要了解的知识是:unemployed或employed表示“失业的”或“被雇用的”修饰名词时只能置于表示人的名字之前,故排除C和D项。另外,an/the unemployment rate表示“失业率”,an/the employment rate意为“就业率”,这两个均为固定表达,而根据该句要表达的意思,正确答案应为A项。
