参考答案
正确答案:A
译文:尽管亨利·福特的名字和大规模生产的概念紧密相连,但他早在1913年就推行了劳工政策,即使用今天的标准来看,该政策也很先进,他理应为此得到同等的赞誉。安全措施得到了改善,并且工作时间缩短为每天8个小时,而当时普遍情况是每天工作10-12个小时。为了适应缩短的工作时间,整个工厂由两班倒变成了三班倒。此外,不但病假制度得以建立,员工工伤的医保制度也有所改善。有些公司首创了专业学校来培训专业技术工人,还为外来移民建立英语掌校,福特汽车公司就是其中之一。它甚至还尝试雇用残疾人和为曾经入狱的人提供工作。最广受推崇的革新措施当属不低于5美元的日薪,这是为了聘任并留住最好的机械师,同时也是为了抑制工会的发展。福特从效率和分红两方面对这个新的工资政策作出了解释。他也提到这样一个事实:他的员工将能够购买他们自己生产的汽车——实际上是给产品创造了市场。为了有资格得到该最低日薪,员工必须组建一个和睦的家庭并展现良好的个人习惯,包括持重、节俭、勤勉和可靠。尽管有人批评福特过多地干涉了员工的私生活,但毫无疑问,在外来移民被严重剥削的时代,亨利·福特帮助了许多人在美国安身立命。◆考点:本题考查形容词词义辨析。◆精析:这里说福特1913年推行的劳工政策以如今的标准评判是怎么样的。根据文章大意可知,作者对其持肯定态度,故应选A。
