In the past industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of government and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of the workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who had died or become seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. Compared with today’s industries, what were the industries in the past like?
33. What did the government do years ago?
34. What does the speaker say about industries in the U.S. today?
35. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
选项
A、Industries in the past and at present.
B、Changes in the development of industries.
C、The freedom of industries today and in the past.
D、The protection of industrial workers and customers.
答案
D
解析
选项均为概括性很强的名词短语表明,本题可能考查短文讨论的主题。短文开始介绍过去企业拥有很强的自主性,政府管控很松,产生了很多安全方面的问题,与此相比,现在的政府有专门的行政部门来监督企业以保证消费者和工人的权益。[D]的表述更为确切,故为答案。
