2023年统考模拟练习-大学英语A11.Child labor,the employment of children in industry,oftenagainst their will,has been a problem for many years.Over a hundred years ago,Charles Dickens shocked many of hisreaders when he described the conditions under which youngchildren worked in British factories.The conditions Dickensdescribed continue almost unchanged today in many parts of theworld.The only difference is that today employment of childrenis confined to small industries and family businesses,such ashotels,restaurants and particularly farms,rather than tolarge factories.Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys.Many ofthem are forced to start work when they are only ten years old.Although the work they are given to do is often light,it isoften harmful to their health.Recently,children as young assix years were found to be working in Asian factories,and thechildren were working from eight to fourteen hours a day inovercrowded and unhealthy working conditions.Sometimes a wholefamily group is employed,with the payment going to a parent orolder relative.The children not only receive nothing or very,little for their long hours of work,but also they areprevented from attending schools.Therefore,when they becomeolder they are unable to do any other kind of work.The solution to the problem of child labor is clearly betterlaws to protect young children,greater supervision of industryand heavier fines for those who break the laws.Only in thisway can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the mostvaluable time of their lives-childhood.参考答案：2.The conditions under which young children work()选项 A：have improved since a hundred years ago.选项 B：are even worse than those a hundred years ago.选项 C：are similar to those a hundred years ago.选项 D：are exactly the same as those a hundred years ago.参考答案：C3.Girls work is().选项 A：not harmful to the health though it is heavy选项 B：not harmful to the health because it is light.选项 C：harmful to the health though it is light.选项 D：harmful to the health because it is heavy.参考答案：C4.Young children often go to work().选项 A：because they are forced to选项 B：in order to be skillful in a certain kind of work选项 C：in order to earn money for education.选项 D：in order to be paid well.参考答案：A5.To solve the problem of child labor,the writer suggests()选项 A：punishing lawbreakers with severe fines,improvingchildren,s working conditions and confining employment ofchildren to light industries.选项 B：improving laws of protecting children,s interests,looking over factories more closely,and punishing lawbreakerswith severe fines.选项 C：improving laws of protecting children s interests,giving them lighter work,and raising their payment.选项 D：confining employment of children to smallindustries and family businesses,looking over factories moreclosely,and improving the system of education.参考答案：B6.What is the author s attitude toward child labor?选项 A：indifferent选项 B：disappointing选项 C：supportive
