参考答案B

解析:Section B Passage One
[9] A recent International Labour organization report says the deterioration of real wages around the world calls into question：the true extent of economic recovery,especially if Government's rescue packages are phased out too early．
The report warns the picture on wages is likely to get worse this year despite indications of an economic rebound．[10] Patrick Belser an International Labour Organization specialist,says declining wage raise are linked to the levels of unemployment．“The quite dramatic unemployment figures which we now see in some of the countries strongly suggests that there will be greater pressure on wages in the future as more people will be unemployed [10]More people will be looking for jobs and the pressure on employers to raise wages to attract workers will decline，So we expect to the second part of the year will not be very good in terms of wage growth．’
The report finds more than a quarter of the countries experienced flat，or falling monthly wages in view terms．They include the United States，Austria，Costa Rica，South Africa and Germany．International Labour Organization economists say some nations have come up with policies to lessen the impact of lower wages during the economic crisis．[11]An example of this is work-sharing with government subsidies．Under this scheme．the number of individual working hours is reduced in an effort to avoid layoffs．For this scheme to work,the government will provide wage subsidies to compensate for lost pay do to the shorter working hours．
Q：What is the International Labour Organization report mainly about?
【解析】B。短文中提到，最近一项由国际劳工组织发布的报告称，全球实际工资的恶化让我们对经济复苏的真实程度表示怀疑，特别是如果政府的援助计划过早结束。由此可知，这份报告的主要内容是谈论全球实际工资恶化的状况。B是对短文中the deterioration of real wages around the world的同义转述。
