When Kathie Gifford’s face was splashed across the newspapers in 1996 after her lucrative line of Wal mart clothing was exposed as the work of underpaid laborers in New York City’s Chinatown, the Department of Labor and the White House teamed up to condemn such practices. With much fanfare, President Clinton’s administration launched the "No Sweat" campaign, which pressured retailers and manufacturers to submit to periodic independent inspection of their workplace conditions.
This campaign urged manufacturers to sign the Workplace Code of Con duct, a promise to serf-regulate that has since been adopted by a handful of retailers and many of the nation’s largest manufacturers, including Nike and L.L. Bean. However, the Department of Defense, which has a $1 billion garment business that would make it the country’s 14th largest retail apparel outlet, has not signed the Code of Conduct. In addition, it has not agreed to demand that its contractors submit to periodic inspections. Because the Department of Defense has not agreed to adhere to the cede, the job of stopping public sector sweatshops falls to the Department of Labor. Federal contractors that persist in violating wage laws or safety and health codes can lose their lucrative taxpayer financed contracts. But Suzanne Seiden, a deputy administrator at the Department of Labor, says that to her knowledge, the department has never applied that rule to government apparel manufacturers. "I just assume that they are adhering to safety and health requirements," she says. According to records obtained by Mother Jones, through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Lion 32 times for safety and health violations in the past 12 years. [br] The underlined phrase "to submit to" is closest in meaning to ______ .
选项
A、to accept unwillingly
B、to refuse coldly
C、to welcome warm heartedly
D、to blame strongly
答案
A
解析
此题为推论题。可以对上下文已知部分进行逻辑的推理。前面讲到克林顿发起的“无血汗”运动勒令零售商和制造商对车间环境进行定期检查,他们肯定是不情愿的•;但这是总统的命令,所以他们就“不情愿地接受”。B“冷冷地拒绝”;C“热烈地欢迎”;D“强烈地谴责”均与上下文意思不符。
