Americans suffer from an overdose of work.【C1】______who they are or what they do, they spend【C2】______time at work than at any time since World War II . In 1950, the US had fewer working hours than any other【C3】______country. Today, it【C4】______every country but Japan, where industrial employees log 2,155 hours a year compared【C5】______1, 951 in the US and 1,603【C6】______West employees. Between 1969 and 1989, employed American【C7】______an average of 138 hours to their yearly work schedules. The work-week【C8】______at about 40 hours, but people are working more weeks each year. 【C9】______paid time off — holidays, vacations, sick leave —【C10】______15 percent in the 1990s.
As corporations have【C11】______stiffer competition and slower growth in productivity, they would【C12】______employees to work longer. Cost-cutting layoffs in the 1980s【C13】______the professional and managerial ranks, leaving fewer people to get the job done. In lower-paid occupations【C14】______wages have been reduced, workers have added hours【C15】______overtime or extra jobs to【C16】______their living standard. The government estimates that more than seven million people hold a second job.
For the first time, large【C17】______of people say they want to cut【C18】______on working hours, even if it means earning less money. But most employers are【C19】______to let them do so. The government which has stepped back from its traditional【C20】______as a regulator of work time, should take steps to make shorter hours possible.
【C20】
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]。
