Empowering workers constitutes the first step toward a stronger economy and stronger citizenry. It is a vital step toward overcoming inequality in American society. During the 1980s, the need for better wages for all workers increased as women, traditionally secondary earners, assumed greater responsibility for their own and their children's well-being. Yet the ability to raise families to a decent living standard through wage work decreased; real wages fell for most workers. And the Federal Government enacted no new policies to facilitate the integration of work and family, as working women and working families suffered a loss in political power as well.
Black or Hispanic women are four times as likely to be low-wage workers as are white men with comparable skills and experience. White women are more than three times as likely as white men to be low-wage workers, and black or Hispanic men more than one-and-a-half times as likely. More than half of all low-wage workers are the only wage workers in their families, or live alone.
Employment no longer provides an escape from poverty. More than eight million working adults are poor; two million of them work full-time, year-round. More than seven million poor children have at least one working parent. When that one working parent is a low-wage worker, the children have no better chance of escaping from poverty than if the parent were not working at all; more than two-fifths of such children are poor.
Even if generous income assistance were available, the wages employers pay would be held to a minimum. In addition, policies such as tax credits for working parents do nothing to increase the political power of working women and men.
Our research shows that alliance is among the most effective strategies for raising pay, especially for women and minority men. Being a union member, or being covered by a collective bargaining agreement, raised 1984 wages by $ 1.79 per hour for Hispanic men, $ 1.32 for black men, $ 1.26 for Hispanic women, $ 1.01 for black women, $ 0.68 for white women, and $ 0.41 for white men, when all other factors, such as occupation, industry, firm size, education and experience were held constant. In percentage terms, the union increase was more than 15 percent for blacks and Hispanics, 11 percent for white women, and 4 percent for white men.

1. During the 1980s, women started to play a more important role in ________
[A] demanding political fights. [B] improving social welfare.
[C] supporting the family [D] earning better wages.
2. According to Paragraph 2, who are most likely to be poor?
[A] Women of color. [B] White women.
[C] Men of color. [D] White men.
3. According to Paragraph 3, having a job ________
[A] means earning a low wage.
[B] has never provided a way out of poverty.
[C] does not mean that the children will become rich.
[D] may not be a guarantee for a poor family to become better off.
4. The term "alliance" (Paragraph 5) refers to ________
[A] mobilizing all workers to seize power.
[B] gathering workers into an organized group.
[C] working out strategies to raise workers' pay.
[D] changing wage policies for women and minority men.
5. What is the theme of the text?
[A] The causes of low-wage problems. [B] The inequality of workers' pay.
[C] The improvement of the rates of pay. [D] The economy and the rates of pay.

思路精解
Text 1
【参考答案】1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B 5.B
【解题思路】
1. 二十世纪八十年代期间,女性开始在______方面起更为重要的作用。
[A]要求政治斗争 [B]提升社会福利 [C]维持家庭 [D]获得更高的薪水
【思路】利用题干关键词the 1980s可以定位在文章**段。根据第三句话“…women, traditionally secondary earners, assumed greater responsibility for their own and their children’s well-being.”中可以看出,20世纪80年代女性开始在养家方面起到了重要的作用。只有[C]项符合题意。
2. 根据文章第二段,谁*有可能贫穷?
[A]有色人种的女性 [B]白人女性 [C]有色人种的男性 [C]白人男性
【思路】文章第二段第二句话对白人女性、白人男性、有色人种的女性、有色人种的男性的工资作了比较,“White women are more than three times as likely as white men to be low.wage workers. And black or Hispanic men more than one and a half times as likely.”比较之下只有有色人种的女性可能是*贫穷的,因此答案是[A]。
3. 根据第三段,拥有工作_____
[A]意味着获得低工资 [B]永远无法提供摆脱贫穷的方法
[C]并不意味着孩子可能变得富有 [D]也许不能保证贫穷的家庭变得富有
【思路】从第三段可以看出,有工作不再意味着就可以摆脱贫穷,孩子们不可能因为低收人的父母而变得富有,可见[C]项符合题意。[B]选项含义与段落首句接近,很容易将选项中never与文中的no longer混为同一概念。[D]选项看似正确,但本段主要讨论孩子的问题。
4. 第五段中"alliance"指的是_____
[A]动员所有工人掌握权力 [B]将工人聚集成一个有组织的群体
[C]寻找策略提升工人工资 [D]为女性和少数的男性改变工资政策
【思路】第五段**句话alliance与第二句话中的being a union member为同一概念,而后面紧接的or表明是并列关系,a collective bargaining agreement是“集体讨论达成的协议”,因此表示是一个群体,只有[B]项的意思*贴切,故选[B]。
5. 文章的主题是什么?
[A]低工资问题的根源 [B]工人收入不平等
[C]收入比率的提升 [D]经济与收入比率
【思路】这篇文章**段第二句话就指出“It is a vital step toward overcoming inequality in American society.”通篇都在讲不同人种之间工资的差异,所以本文的主题应选[B]项,即工人工资之间的不平等性。
【高频回顾】
constitute v.构成 generous adj.慷慨大方的
well-being n.幸福,安康 decent adj.正派的,得体的
enact v.颁布,制定 facilitate v.推动,促进
integration n.综合 collective n.集体的
【全文精译】
促进工人的自我实现是繁荣经济和坚定公民意识的**步,是战胜美国社会不平等的重要一步。在20世纪80年代,作为传统的第二位挣钱者,女性对自己和孩子承担的责任越来越大,对工资的要求也越发提高。但是通过工资使家人过上体面生活的能力却降低了,大多数工人的实际工资降低了。联邦政府并没有颁布新的政策推进工作和家庭的结合。因为职业女性和工人家庭已经失去了政治力量。
黑人或者拉丁美洲的妇女要比有同等技能和经验的白人男性的工资低4倍。白人妇女成为低收入者的可能性要比白人男性高3倍,比黑人或者拉丁美洲男性高1.5倍。一半以上的低收入工人要么是家庭惟一的经济来源,要么是独自生活。
就业不能再使人摆脱贫困。800多万的成年工人是贫穷的,其中的200万是全年、全日的工作。700多万贫穷的孩子有至少一个有工作的父亲或母亲。当工作的父亲或者母亲是一个低收入者时,那么孩子就和父母没有工作的孩子一样没有机会摆脱贫困。五分之二以上的这样的孩子是贫穷的。
即使得到丰厚的经济援助,雇主们所支付的工资也总是控制在*低。此外,像税款抵扣这样的政策对于工人在增加政治力量方面无济于事。
我们的调查表明联合化是涨工资*有效的策略,尤其对于女性和少数的男性。1984年,作为联合会的成员或者集体讨论达成的协议的保护者。当所有其他的因素像职业、工业、公司规模、教育程度和经验都相同时.拉丁关洲男性工资每小时提高了l.79美元,黑人男性提高了l.32美元,拉丁美洲女性提高了l.26美元,黑人女性提高了l.01美元,白人女性提高了0.68美元,白人男性提高了0.41美元。用百分比计算,通过联合15%以上的黑人和拉丁美洲人的工资都得到增长,11%的白人女性和4%的白人男性工资得到增长。

本书根据*新考研大纲编写,内容全面,实用性强。离考试越来越近,这个阶段,我们主要需要注意两点,一是进行大量的演练,将这些技巧运用于实际,进而真正掌握这些技巧。二是查漏补缺,不断发现自己的弱项,及时完善。
