短文賞析
本文討論了婦女權(quán)益保護(hù)法案對于婦女的保護(hù)作用。作者認(rèn)為，法律通過之后，對于婦女的保護(hù)不是增多了，而是減少了。因為有了法律支持，雇主就可以以健康、能力等原因拒絕給與婦女工作。限制婦女工作時間的法律也幫助雇主達(dá)到了這些目的。同時，工作場所內(nèi)的婦女也沒有應(yīng)有的保護(hù)。因此作者認(rèn)為，婦女的勞動保護(hù)法律是有歧視性的，并沒有發(fā)揮預(yù)想的作用。如果法律不能滿足婦女的健康、工資和安全工作場所的權(quán)利，就違反了婦女受到平等保護(hù)的說法。
答案及解析
56.A【解析】從第二段前兩句話可以看出，婦女被以能力和需要的理由勸離工廠，故A項正確。沒有足夠的工作給老兵不是由限制婦女工作時間的法律造成的，所以B項不正確。C項文中沒有提及。根據(jù)文章第三段可知婦女的健康不是改善了，而是下降了，故D項也不正確。
57.D【解析】A、B、c項文中均沒有提到。根據(jù)第三段的論述，可知D項是惟一正確的。
58.B【解析】根據(jù)第三段和第四段的論述，我們可以得知作者的總體看法，即特別的勞工防護(hù)法并沒有保護(hù)婦女的權(quán)益，故B項正確。A項與作者的觀點明顯相悖，所以不正確。c項從文中不能推知，故不正確。文中沒有提到男性工人的保護(hù)問題，故D項也不正確。
59.A【解析】由第二段最后一句話可知A項正確。B項不能從文中推知。C項文中沒有提及。男性工人的健康在法律中是得到考慮了的，故D項不正確。
60.B【解析】對于婦女的慣常思維沒有因為法律而變化，所以A項不正確。根據(jù)第二段第一句話可知B項正確。從常識判斷，雇主是不會主動提出提高婦女權(quán)益保護(hù)的，所以他們的保護(hù)不會比立法前多，故C項是不正確的。D項從文中不能推斷出。
