Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Women with low literacy suffer disproportionately more than men, encountering more (36) 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(37)tend to earn less than men, but it's at the lowest literacy levels that the wage gap between genders is most striking.

Women with low literacy are twice as(38) 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 (39) a big difference," said Kevin Miller, a(40)research associate at IWPR and co-author of the study.

Women need to go(41) in their training and education level to earn the same as men, Miller said.

The42 was based on 2009 National Assessment of Adult Literacy surveys, the most recent data (43),and focused on reading skills, not writing and numeric literacy. That data was (44) 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(45), the institute said.

【答案解析】

36.D

語法判斷：空格前是more，空格后為in finding a well—payingjob，空格中應(yīng)填入一個名詞。

語義判斷：備選項(xiàng)中是名詞的有：pattern、difficulties、category、positions、literacy、analysis，將六個詞分別代入空格處，較容易選出difficulties為最佳答案。故選D。此處意為“與男性相比，女性在尋求高薪工作的過程中會遇到更多困難”。

37.K

語法判斷：空格前是at all levels of，空格后為tend to earn less，因此空格處應(yīng)填入名詞。

語義判斷：備選項(xiàng)中是名詞的還有：pattern、category、positions、literacy、analysis。本文探討的是男性和女性的文化程度與其收入的關(guān)系，故此處為at alllevelsofliteracy最為合理。literacy意為“文化，教養(yǎng)”，literacy level在后面也再次出現(xiàn)。本句意為：女性政策研究所的分析發(fā)現(xiàn)，各個文化層次的女性收入一般都比相同文化程度的男性要低，在文化水平最低的人群中，男女收入差距最大。故選K。

38.M

語法判斷：空格前是Women with low literacy are twice as，空格后為as men，因此應(yīng)填入形容詞，且是原形。

語義判斷：備選項(xiàng)中是形容詞原形的或可以用作形容詞的有：senior、available、independent、likely。，綜合考慮，likely符合題意，twice aslikely as即意為“可能性或者幾率是……的兩倍”。

39.O

語法判斷：空格前的having higher literacy and more skills是該句主語，really為詞，空格后為a big difference，可見空格處應(yīng)填入動詞作謂語，且注意應(yīng)照應(yīng)主語，為第三人稱單數(shù)。

語義判斷：備選項(xiàng)中動詞的第三人稱單數(shù)形式只有makes;而make adifference也是一個固定搭配，意為“有影響，起作用”;donotmake anydifference意為“沒有任何影響，不起任何作用”。本題答案為O。

40.B

語法判斷：空格前是a，空格后為research associate，因此應(yīng)填入形容詞。

語義判斷：備選項(xiàng)中的形容詞還有：senior、longer、available、independent、further，比較可知，senior最合題意，即“高級助理研究員”。

41.N

語法判斷：空格前是Women needto go，空格后為intheirtraining and educationlevel，因此空格處應(yīng)填入副詞。

語義判斷：備選項(xiàng)中副詞只有further(進(jìn)一步地)。此句意為：“米勒稱，要想和男性賺得一樣多，女性相比于男性需要進(jìn)一步地接受培訓(xùn)和教育。”

42.L

語法判斷：空格前是The，空格后為wasbasedon，因此應(yīng)填入名詞。

語義判斷：備選項(xiàng)中的名詞還有：pattern、category、positions、analysis。analysis(分析)符合題意。故選L。

43.H

語法判斷：空格前是the most recent data，空格后為逗號，應(yīng)填入什么從語法上來講并不容易判斷。

語義判斷：瀏覽余下的各備選項(xiàng)，collected作為后置定語似乎可以修飾data，表示“最近收集到的數(shù)據(jù)”，我們很容易選F項(xiàng)填入此處，但是當(dāng)做到下一題的時候就會發(fā)現(xiàn)，the datawas collectedfrom…這一說法是必然的選擇，由于每項(xiàng)只能用一次，因此本題不能選F。繼續(xù)尋找其他可能的選項(xiàng)，我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)H項(xiàng)available讓人眼前一亮，themost recentdata available(最新的可以獲得的/可用的數(shù)據(jù))，也是一個通順的搭配，符合此處句意。故選H。

44.F

語法判斷：空格前是Thatdatawas，空格后為from a nationally representative sample，應(yīng)填入過去分詞，構(gòu)成被動語態(tài)。

語義判斷：備選項(xiàng)中的過去分詞還有collected、conducted，顯然collected符合題意，故為本題的正確答案。

45.E

語法判斷：空格前是that，空格后為逗號，因此應(yīng)填入名詞。

語義判斷：備選項(xiàng)中的名詞還有：pattern、category、positions，fall into the category為慣用搭配，意即“屬于這一類別”，故選E。
