In 1950, the US had fewer working hours than any other【3】country. Today, it【4】every country but Japan, where industrial employees log 2,155 hours a year compared【5】1,951 in the US and 1,603【6】West employees. Between 1969 and 1989, employed American【7】an average of 138 hours to their yearly work schedules. The work-week【8】at about 40 hours, but people are working more weeks each year.【9】, paid time off — holidays, vacations, sick leave —【10】15 percent in the 1990s.

In lower-paid occupations,【14】wages have been reduced, workers have added hours【15】overtime or extra jobs to【16】their living standard. The Government estimates that more than seven million people hold a second job.

选项
A、much less
B、abundant
C、a lot more
D、surplus
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。文章开头第一句话就提到,美国人正suffers from an overdose of work,那么此处需要选择一个与overdose同义的词。[A]much less意为“少很多”,与文意相反;[B]abundant“充足的,丰富的”,多表褒义;而[D]Surplus意为“过剩的,多余的”,无法与文意衔接。由此可以判断,本题答案为[C]a lot more“许多的,更多的”。
