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.

选项
A、discouraged
B、unwilling
C、forbidden
D、inclined
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。本句是描述当个人希望减少工作时间时,雇主们的态度。根据文章大意,很明显,雇主们unwilling“不愿意”这样做。[B]unwilling符合语义,为本题答案。[A]discouraged“使灰心,使泄气”,不能与语义衔接;[C]forbidden用在此处,不符文意;[D]inclined to“倾向于”,与文意相反。
