Sex-definedprotectivelawshaveoftenbeenbasedonstereotypicalassumptionsconcerningwomen'sneedsandabilities,andemployershavefrequentlyusedthemaslegalexcusesfordiscriminatingagainstwomen.AftertheSecondWorldWar,forexample,businessesandgovernmentsoughttopersuadewomentovacatejobsinfactories,thusmakingroominthelaborforceforreturningveterans.Therevivalorpassageofstatelawslimitingthedailyorweeklyworkhoursofwomenconvenientlyaccomplishedthis.Employershadonlytodeclarethatovertimehourswereanecessaryconditionofemploymentorpromotionintheirfactory,andwomencouldbequitelegallyfired,refusedjobs,orkeptatlowwagelevels,allinthenameof“protecting”theirhealth.Byvalidatingsuchlawswhentheyarechallengedbylawsuits,thecourtshavecolludedovertheyearsinestablishingdifferent,1essadvantageousemploymenttermsforwomenthanformen,thusreducingwomen'scompetitivenessonthejobmarket.Atthesametime,eventhemostwell-intentionedlawmakers,courts,andemployershaveoftenbeenblindtotherealneedsofwomen.Thelawmakersandthecourtscontinuetopermitemployerstoofferemployeehealthinsuranceplansthatcoverallknownhumanmedicaldisabilitiesexceptthoserelatingtopregnancyandchildbirth.

15.A

16.workwork解析：本句意為“我們以前已經(jīng)嘗試過，但是不…?！憋@然，此空處應填“奏效，起作用”，英語中表達這一含義最地道的詞就是work。

17.WarmWarm解析：由此句中的“contrastiveviews”可知，觀點是相對的，此空所在短句意為“從…贊揚到冷酷的批評”，顯然，應是“熱烈的”。

18.whichwhich解析：由37題解析可知此空應為一個引導定語從句的詞，即which，其后的定語修飾“several(typesofcontamination)”。

19.notnot解析：此空前半句意為“我們真地生活在污染中，呼吸著它”，而后半句意為“它開始…我們的健康、幸福和文明?！憋@然，這是因果關系，故中間的surprisingly前只能加個否定詞not。

20.losinglosing解析：根據(jù)上下文的意思，很多年輕一代的日本人已經(jīng)不再尊重父母，不再對家庭有責任感，所以這里用。losing表示“漸漸失去了”。所以此處應填“l(fā)osing”。

21.linklink解析：與37題對應，此處應填link，表明在“near-pointgripping”和“slow，illegiblewriting”之間存在聯(lián)系。

22.farfar解析：能修飾too的副詞只有far或much。

23.farfar解析：能修飾too的副詞只有far或much。

24.afterafter解析：此句意為“…他注意到了那些拼寫有問題的學生也有一個壞的握筆習慣，他受到鼓舞調查這個領域?！?/p>

25.toto解析：“shift”意為“轉變”，“從…到…的轉變”應該用介詞“to”。所以此處應填“to”。

26.B解析：第一段中，作者說自己想保存文件，但是光標不動了，死機了。只有把電池拔出強行關機，所以排除A，D。C中說電腦拒絕工作，不合題意。所以本題應選B。

27.DD解析：該空承接上段，講的還是與毒藤相關的信息。毒橡樹跟毒漆樹的生長地點，環(huán)境及其形狀。還是對鑒別毒藤的支撐信息。所以本
