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 17, and among the nearly 150 18 with good-enough data to 19 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.
【C5】
选项
A、since
B、so
C、or
D、though
答案
D
解析
空格所在从句为表语从句,用于说明My guess,回答上句提出的疑问。但是作者所猜测的marriage and children这两个理由不可能完全解答这个问题。限定词much意为“很多,大量”,和空格后的all“全部”是相对的概念,存在让步转折关系。D项。though意为“尽管”,表示让步,符合语义逻辑。A项since意为“因为”,B项so意为“因此,所以”,分别表示原因和结果。C项or意为“或者。还是”,表示选择关系。
