The Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, the government agency that regulates civil aviation in the United States, announced new rules this month to combat pilot fatigue. The new guidelines, which will go into effect in two years, call for reducing the number of pilots’ on-duty hours and giving them a 10-hour rest period between shifts, so they can get at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. The new rules apply to only pilots of passenger airlines. FAA determined that including pilots who fly cargo planes—a large segment of the aviation industry—would add too much to the cost of implementing the changes. But the Independent Pilots Association (IPA) has filed a lawsuit asking the government to set one level of safety for all pilots.
3. What is the main purpose of the new rules?
4. Why was IPA unhappy about the new rules?
选项
A、To reduce the number of pilots on duty.
B、To prevent pilots from working overtime.
C、To ensure an adequate sleep for pilots.
D、To fix the amount of work for each pilot.
答案
C
解析
录音一开始指出颁布新规定的目的:应对飞行员疲劳(to combat pilot fatigue)。接着说到新规定的具体内容“要求减少飞行员勤务时间,在轮班间有10小时的休息时间,这样他们可以得到至少8小时的完整睡眠”,故选C“确保飞行员有充足的睡眠时间”。飞行员人数、超时工作(working overtime)、飞行员工作量(the amount of work)均没有在新闻中提到,故排除。
