As a general rule, American men earn more than American women. This holds true across industries, across education levels, and across states. But, there’s at least one big【C1】________: part-time employees.
In 2012, women who worked less than 40 hours a week generally out-earned men who spent the same【C2】________at their jobs. If they worked 35 hours a week, they earned about 11 percent more. If they worked 25 hours a week, they earned about 4 percent more.
But once females hit that magic 40 hour【C3】________ their relative pay declined dramatically.
So why do women beat out men while working part-time and【C4】________out while working full-time? My guess is that much (【C5】________certainly not all) of the explanation【C6】________down to two reasons: marriage and children. Women, including highly educated【C7】________. tend to cut their hours once they have families and children, especially【C8】________their husband has a higher salary. Men, meanwhile, are more likely to keep working a【C9】________ week. And so part-time women, as a group, are somewhat more likely to have gone to college, and【C10】________ less likely to have dropped out of high school, than part-time men, who may well be working shorter【C11】________for lack of better options.
The problem for women is that working part-time early in their careers can cost them salary while working full-time later in their careers,【C12】________lost experience and perhaps some【C13】________opportunities for promotions. Motherhood might be the most【C14】________job in the world. But all too often, our economy still makes it【C15】________a career killer.
So【C16】________part-timers, which other women out-earn men? The BLS includes a job-by-job breakdown of the wage【C17】________, and among the nearly 150【C18】________with good-enough data to【C19】________it found just two where females were better paid: counselors and health technicians. That said, as men look more toward those sorts of traditionally pink-collar jobs for employment, one has to【C20】________how long that pay advantage will last.
【C8】
选项
A、until
B、before
C、hence
D、if
答案
D
解析
本句提到女性一旦有了家庭和孩子就倾向于减少工作时间(tend to cut their hours),又提到特别是她们的丈夫收入较高(their husband has a higher salary)的情况。后者可以是前者的前提条件。D项if“如果”符合语义逻辑。A项until“直到……才”,表示主句动作的终止时间,与本句语法不符。B项before“在……之前”。在丈夫收入较高前就减少工作时间,不符合逻辑。C项hence“那么”,表示丈夫收入较高是结果,不符合句意逻辑。
