    推理判断题。根据题干信息定位到第二段第一二句话“Black or Hispanic women are four times as likely to be low-wage workers as are white men”“White women are more than three times as likely as white men to be low-wage workers”,由此可知,黑人女性或者西班牙裔女性成为低工资劳动者的可能性是具有同等技能和经验的白人男性的4倍,白人女性成为低工资劳动者的可能性比白人男性高3倍多,两种比较的参照标准都是白人男性,因此成为低工资劳动者可能性最高的人群是黑人或西班牙裔女性,而她们属于有色人种,故答案为A项。

  • 第9题:

    问答题
    What is “the Monitor” in Paragraph 1 most likely to be?

    正确答案: Newspaper.
    解析:
    推理题。根据题干定位至原文第一段。该段第一句说到:“My grandmother cut a recipe sometime in the 1940s or 1950s for ‘Mrs. Orr’s Chocolate Cake’ from the Monitor.”分析该句句意可知,因此该句中提到的“Mrs. Orr’s Chocolate Cake”应该是一个名人做蛋糕的专栏,报纸除了新闻还有其他栏目,由此可判断出奶奶应该是从“报纸”上的食谱专栏里剪贴下烹饪方法,因此原文中的the Monitor应该是一份报纸,故本题的正确答案为Newspaper。
