参考答案
正确答案：D
语义题。第一段第一句指出，从有可比较的记录算起，15年来英国男女全职员工的工资差异第一次回落到10％以内。该段第三句指出，女性的工资在上涨后达到每小时12英镑，而男性的时薪在上涨后达到每小时13．27英镑。工资差异因女性员工的工资快速上涨而缩小，由此可推测[D]符合文意，故为正确答案。通过该段第三句可知，虽然女性员工工资上涨的比率比男性高，但具体的时薪仍比男性低，[A]不符合文意，故排除；该段第三句中“glassceiling”(玻璃天花板)引申为“职场中的障碍”，[B]的诠释有误，故排除；由该段第二、三句可知，女性的时薪上涨较快，但不能由此推测出女性陷入危险境地，故排除[C]。
