问题  
Since a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections, (22)my coworkers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety hazards in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about 7 hours a day. The supervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get headaches and dizzy spells because she says it’s dangerous to breathe some of the chemical smoke there. (23)An X-ray technician is refusing to do her .job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it’s exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and ask that government agency to inspect the department. I’ve heard that at a factory in the area, (24)two pregnant women, who were working with paint, requested a transfer to a safer department, because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. (25)In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owner was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met and agreed to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away.
22. What does the talk focus on?
23. What did an X-ray technician ask her company to do?
24. What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women working with paint?
25. Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work?

选项 A、Health and safety conditions in the workplace.
B、Rights and responsibilities of company employees.
C、Common complaints made by office workers.
D、Conflicts between labor and management.

答案A

解析 原文提到,自从工会代表到访并告知我们的权利与保护措施后,员工们一直在担心健康状况并抱怨工作场所的安全风险,此为该短文的主题句,下文的内容均围绕此展开,答案为A。主旨题常可从听力文章开头获取答案,应留意听总结性的话语。B“公司雇员的权利与责任”、C“办公室员工的普遍抱怨”和D“员工与管理层之间的冲突”与录音主旨不符。
