[12] 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; [13] 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. [14] 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.
12. Compared with today’s industries, what were the industries in the past like?
13. What did the government do years ago?
14. What does the passage say about industries in the U.S. today?
15. What is the speaker mainly talking about?
选项
A、There are altogether three departments which protect customers and workers.
B、A company with poor or dangerous working conditions is likely to be punished.
C、Stores dealing in foods and drugs are controlled by the local government.
D、The protection of workers’ health and safety is still not well ensured.
答案
B
解析
推断题。短文末尾提到,另一个部门着眼于人们工作的地方,并会将那些违反工人健康安全法规的公司上报。由此可推断,B为正确答案。录音结尾处往往是考点所在。录音中举了3个例子,但这并不表明只有3个部门保护消费者及劳动者,故A错误:C与原文不符;D与原文相悖。
