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.
As Corporations have【11】stiffer competition and slower growth in productivity, they would【12】employees to work longer. Cost-cutting layoffs in the 1980s【13】the professional and managerial ranks, leaving fewer people to get the job done. 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.

The government which has stepped back from its traditional【20】as a regulator of work time, should take steps to make shorter hours possible.
选项
A、preserve
B、conserve
C、improve
D、protect
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。根据上题分析,表示提高生活水平的词语[C]improve“改进,改善”最常用。improve their living standard“改善生活状况”;[A]preserve意为“保留,收藏”,强调使之完好无损或质量不变;[B] conserve意为“保存,保藏,保重”,强调通过保存或节约来到达持久的效果,一般与energy,health,resources等连用;[D]protect“保护”,则完全不能与文意相衔接。所以本题答案为[C]improve。
