Women with low literacy suffer disproportionately more than men, encountering more【C6】________in finding a well-paying job and being twice as likely to end up in the group of lowest wage earners, a study released on Wednesday said.
Analysis by the Institute for Women’ s Policy Research(IWPR)found women at all levels of【C7】______tend to earn less than men, but it’ s at the lowest literacy levels that the wage gap between genders is most【C8】______
Women with low literacy are twice as likely as men at the same skill level to be among the lowest earners, bringing in $300 a week or less, the report said.
" Because women start off so low in terms of wages, having higher literacy and more skills really【C9】______a big difference," said Kevin Miller, a【C10】______research associate at IWPR and co-author of the study.
Women need to go【C11】______in their training and education level to earn the same as men, Miller said.
The【C12】______was based on 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy surveys, the most recent data【C13】______, and focused on reading skills, not writing and numeric literacy. That data was【C14】______from a nationally representative sample of 19,714 people aged 16 and older, living in households or prisons.
Data showed about one-third of American adults have low literacy levels, and more than 36 percent of men and 33 percent of women fall into that【C15】______, the institute said.
[A]pattern[B]independent[C]makes
[D]difficulties[E]collected[F]conducted
[G]available[H]category[I]positions
[J]striking[K]literacy[L]analysis
[M]senior[N]further[O]longer
【C6】
选项
答案
D
解析
根据空格前的more和空格后的in finding a well-paying job可知,空格处应填入名词。备选项中的pattern、difficulties、category、positions、literacy和analysis都是名词,将它们分别代入空格处,只有D选项difficulties“困难”语义最为恰当,意为“与男性相比,女性在寻求高薪工作的过程中会遇到更多困难”,故D为正确答案。
