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、position
B、function
C、task
D、role
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。本句谈到政府的作用。观察四个选项,所选词应该与regulator照应。[A]position“位置”与[C]task“任务”可首先排除。主要区分[B]function和[D]role的区别。function主要指自身所具有的功能,如:The function of the heart is to pump blood through the body.“心脏的功能就是为身体供血”。而role侧重指作为某一角色或处在某一位置上所发挥的作用,如:The media play a major role in influencing people’s opinions.“媒体在影响人们的观点方面发挥了主要作用”。本题选[D]role更能衔接文意。traditional role as a regulator of work time“作为调整劳动时间的传统意义的角色”。所以本题答案为[D]。
