高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Among rich countries, people in the Untied States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the Untied States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.

In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the Untied States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards（回报）to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.

Longer hours do of course increase the GDP（国民生产总值）. So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.

It is not clear which of the two situation is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in its interest. It is too early to explain the different trends（趋势）in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the Untied States happiness had made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance（平衡）?

1.From the text we know that author ________.

A. says nothing certain about which pattern is better

B. prefers shorter working hours to longer ones

C. believes that longer working hours is better

D. thinks neither of the patterns is good

2.Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?

A. Spain            B. America          C. Germany          D. France

3.In the last paragraph , the underlined word “which” refers to _______.

A. family life      B. situations           C. other values     D. trends

4.What message can we get from the text?

A. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.

B. Americans are happier than Europeans

C. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.

D. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Staying at Home                      B. Work and Happiness

C. Work and Productivity                D. Americans and Europeans
