Although division of labour had been【C2】______ by Adam Smith and illustrated by a pin factory in The Wealth of Nations in 1776,【C3】______ could now become fully realised. This specialisation of labour was in【C4】______ contrast to the rural means of production, in【C5】______ the family was the means of production, consumption and socialisation.【C6】______ greater speed came a greater need for industries and businesses to make more and make it quicker. Steam made this【C7】______ and changed working life forever.【C8】______ were the days when work was【C9】______ by natural forces: steam engines were servant【C10】______ neither season nor sunshine. Factories had foremen and life became correspondingly more【C11】______ . The clocking-on machine was【C12】______ in 1885 and time and motion studies to increase efficiency would be introduced only【C13】______ twenty years later.【C14】______ it was not all bad news. Agricultural incomes depended on variable harvests and weather. Factories provided【C15】______ and predictable income, but long hours.

A、For
B、But
C、Consequently
D、Accordingly
答案
B

本句提到这并不都是坏消息,接着具体解释农业收入取决于可变的收成和天气,工厂的收入则可以预计。由此可知下文说的是好消息,上下文是转折关系,故填人But。
