问题    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 teal disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of 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 inquires; 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. 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.
According to Paragraph 1, compared with today, industries in the past______.
选项 A、were controlled less strictly
B、were worse off
C、affected more people’s health
D、put out more unhealthy products
答案A
解析 本题考查的是第一段的主题思想。从第一句话可看出，过去的工业比现在有更多的自由，也不用像现在这样小心谨慎。也可以说“过去的工业不像现在受到这么严格的控制”、因此选[A]。[B] 意为“更贫困，更糟糕”，[C]“影响更多的人”，[D]“生产更多的不健康的产品”，均不符合奉段所谈的内容。
