American suffers from an overdose of work.【1】who they are or what they do, they spend【2】time at work than at any time since World WarⅡ. 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.
For the first time, large【17】of people say they want to cut【18】on working hours, even if it means earning less money. But most employers are【19】to let them do so. 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、arrived
B、stopped
C、set
D、remained
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。联系上下文,本句下半句but后面意为“人们每年工作的周数增加了”,根据but判断,上半句与此意是转折关系,那么肯定是在说“工人每周工作的时间减少了或者是没有增减”。文章总体思路是在说工作时间的增加,所以不可能是减少,因此可以确定,上半句的意思是“工人每周工作的时间不变”。表示不变的选项只有[D]remained“保持”。[C]set表示“设定”的时候,需要用被动形式be set as...;而[A]arrived“到达”和[B]stopped“停止”均不能与文意衔接。所以本题答案为[D]remained。
