大全d-10

Questions 9-10 are based on the following.

In the industrialized nations, the last century has witnessed a shortening of the average workday from twelve hours or longer to less than eight hours. Mindful of this enormous increase in leisure time over the past century, many people assume that the same trend has obtained throughout history, and that, therefore, prehistoric humans must have labored incessantly for their very survival.

We cannot, of course, directly test this assumption. However, a study of primitive peoples of today suggests a different conclusion. The Mbuti of central Africa, for instance, spend only a few hours each day in hunting, gathering, and tending to other economic necessities. The rest of their time is spent as they choose. The implication is that the short workday is not peculiar to industrialized societies. Rather, both the extended workday of 1880 and the shorter workday of today are products of different stages of the continuing process of industrialization.

大全-D-9.       Which of the following inferences about industrialization is best supported by the passage above?

(A) People in advanced industrialized societies have more leisure time than those in nonindustrialized societies.

(B) An average workday of twelve hours or more is peculiar to economies in the early stages of industrialization.

(C) Industrialization involves a trade-off between tedious, monotonous jobs and the benefits of increased leisure.

(D) It is likely that the extended workday of an industrializing country will eventually be shortened. （D）

(E) As industrialization progresses, people tend to look for self-fulfillment in leisure rather than work.

(A) In recent decades, the economy of the Mbuti has been markedly affected by the encroachment of modern civilization.

(B) The life-style of the Mbuti is similar to that of prehistoric humans.

(C) The Mbuti have no words in their language to express the distinction between work activities and leisure activities.

(D) The workday of a European peasant in medieval times averaged between eleven and fifteen hours.（B）

(E) The members of the Shaklik tribe in central Asia have an average workday of ten to twelve hours.

请问这两段到底是怎么一个逻辑过程，读的不明白，请大家帮我解释一下好吗？谢谢！

即在工业话国家，历经了从一天工作12个小时缩减到8小时的过程，并得出一个结论这是一个历史过程的一部分。从而得出，古代人肯定是不断持续工作的。

然而，我们是不能直接测试这个推断的正确性。但是有一个对于古代人的研究得出了不同的结论。非洲的M人一天花很少的时间打猎，大量的时间可以选择做别的事情。因此，这样的情况暗示短的工作日并非是工业化的特例。而是，1880年的长工作时间，和，之后的短工作时间，只是工业化进程的不同节段

－－－－－－

说了半天：

古代有短工作时间，所以不能说历史是从长工作时间到短工作时间。

工业化的不同进程不能代表历史。只是工业化的不同进程。

9。工业化的不同进程，说明，short time working day肯定是工业化的将来。D

10。M的生活方式是古代人的生活方式，加强了历史上的古人并非是长时间不断工作的。B
