问题    In the past industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people Who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
   Of course sometimes there were teal disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquires; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who had died Or become seriously ill.
    Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers.
In the U. S. today______.
选项 A、there are altogether three departments which protect customers and workers
B、stores dealing in foods and drugs are under government control
C、a company with poor or dangerous working conditions is likely to be punished
D、the protection of workers’ health and safety is well ensured
答案C
解析 根据题干中的today，答案应在第三段。可用排除法对四个选项一一进行分析。[A]“一共有三个部门保护顾客和工人”不对，因为文章只是列举了三个部门做例子。[B]“做食品和药品生意的商店受到美国政府的控制”不准确，因为文章中提到的是“控制食品和药物”，而不是控制做这种生意的商店。[D]的意思是；“对工人健康和安全的保护得到良好的保障”，这种保护是否well-ensured 文章并未提及，也无法推测。而从最后一句话可知，有一个政府部门负，责举报违反工人健康和安全保护法的公司，举报的结果很可能是这种公司受到惩罚，因此答案为[C]。
