Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one of Rome’s main avenues. Italy’s political leaders and some of its male union chiefs are said to have been even more puzzled to see that the tractor was followed by about 200,000 women in a parading procession that took more than three hours to
snake through central Rome.
Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the women had come to the capital from all over Italy to demonstrate for "a job for each of us, a different type of job, and a society without violence." So far, action to improve women’s opportunities in employment has been the province of collective industrial bargaining. "But there is a growing awareness that this is not enough," says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded Institute for the Development of Professional Training for works.
Women, who constitute 52 percent of Italy’s population, today represent only 35 percent of Italy’s total workforce and 33 percent of the total number of Italian with jobs. However, their presence in the workplace is growing. The employment of women is expanding considerably in services, next to the public administration and commerce as their principal workplace. Official statistics also show that women have also made significant strides in self-employment. More and more women are going into business for themselves. Many young women are turning to business because of growing overall in employment. It is also a fact that today many prejudices have disappeared, so that banks and other financial institutes make judgments on purely business considerations without caring if it is a man or woman.
Such changes are occurring in the professions too. The number of women doctors, dentists, lawyers , engineers and university professors increased two to three fold. Some of the changes are immediately visible. For example, women have appeared on the scene for the first time as state police, railway workers and street cleaners.
However, the present situation is far from satisfactory though some progress has been made. A breakthrough in equal opportunities for women is now demanded.
What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
选项
A、There were enough job opportunities for women.
B、The women demonstrated violently for their purpose.
C、A variety of jobs were one of the purposes for the women’s demonstration.
D、The women lived in a society without violence.
答案
C
解析
选项C来自于第二段的第一句最后,文章提到这些女性来到这里游行示威有三个目的,选项C就是第二个目的“a different type of job”的同义改写。选项A和第一句中“a job for each of us”的意思相反,女性的工作机会是不足的。选项B对应第二段第一句,可以看出这些女性是通过摇旗、呐喊等和平方式游行示威的,而不是暴力的方式。选项D和第一句句末的内容相反,女性来游行示威的一个目的就是希望这个社会没有暴力,因此可以知道她们是受到了暴力对待的。
