英語六級-聽力口語關(guān)鍵句99. For instance, even though more women than

99. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas.

點睛　

句子的主干是：...women have been taking over...，earning...and entering...。even though引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。句末的that used to be exclusively male areas是定語從句，修飾fields of work。
homemakers意為“持家的人，操持家務(wù)者”。如：
Do you think she is prepared to settle for being a homemaker? 你認(rèn)為她會甘心做一個家庭婦女嗎？
exclusively意為“唯一的；專有的；排外的”。如：
Most of the merchandise is sold exclusively here. 這里的大部分商品都是獨家發(fā)售的。
