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.
Working life was becoming increasingly regulated, and the working【C16】______ was reorganised to promote ever greater efficiency. The old【C17】______ of St. Monday—when no work was done—was gradually phased out and to【C18】______ , work stopped around midday on Saturday and did not resume【C19】______ Monday morning.

【C20】
选项
A、rise
B、increase
C、trend
D、presence
答案
A
解析
上文提到观赏性体育比赛的发展,此处说音乐厅娱乐方式的……,这些都与周末休闲时间一起出现,故填人的词应与development(发展)并列,在语义上互相呼应。A项rise作名词时可表示新事物的“出现,兴起”,符合语境。
