34、es had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans(工匠). As master craft workers, they passed on the knowledge of their trades to apprentices and journeymen. In addition, women often worked in their homes parttime, making finished articles from raw material supplied by merchant capitalists. After
35、 1815 this older form of producing began to give way to factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers. Cheap transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated(刺激) the shift to factory production.The factory changed that. Goo
36、ds produced by factories were not as finished or elegant as those done by hand, and pride in craftsmanship(工艺) gave way to the pressure to increase rates of productivity. The new methods of doing business involved a new and stricter sense of time. Factory life necessitated a more rigid schedule, whe
37、re work began at the sound of a bell and workers kept machines going at a constant pace.The first generation to experience these changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules. One mill worker who finally quit complained revealingly about “o
38、bedience(服从) to the dingdong of the belljust as though we are so many living machines”. With the loss of personal freedom also came the loss of standing in the community.In this newly appearing economic order, workers sometimes organized to protect their rights and traditional ways of life. Craft wo
39、rkers such as carpenters, printers, and tailors formed unions, and in 1834 individual unions came together in the National Trades Union. The labor movement made progress in the decade before the Panic of 1837, but in the depression that followed, labors strength collapsed. During hard times, few wor
40、kers were willing to strike or engage in collective action. And skilled craft workers, who led the union movement, did not feel a particularly strong bond with semiskilled factory workers and unskilled laborers. More than a decade of agitation(抗议) did finally bring a workday shortened to 10 hours to
41、 most industries by the 1850s, and the courts also recognized workers right to strike, but these gains had little immediate impact.Workers were united in feeling angry or upset about the industrial system and their loss of status, but they were divided by ethnic and racial antagonisms(对立), gender, c
42、onflicting religious perspectives, occupational differences, political party loyalties, and disagreements over tactics(策略). For them, the factory and industrialism were not agents of opportunity but reminders of their loss of independence and a measure of control over their lives. As United States s
43、ociety became more specialized and differentiated, greater extremes of wealth began to appear. And as the new markets created fortunes for the few, the factory system lowered the wages of workers by dividing labor into smaller and less skilled tasks.( )58. What can be inferred from the passage about
44、 articles produced before 1815?A. They were primarily produced by women.B. They were generally produced in shops rather than in homes.C. They were produced mostly in large cities with large transportation networks.D. They were produced with more concern for quality than for speed of production.( )59
45、. What does the complaint from a mill worker in Paragraph 3 convey?A. Clocks did not have a useful function in factories.B. It was difficult for workers to adjust to working in factories.C. Factories were most successful when workers revealed their complaints.D. Workers sometimes quit because of the
46、 loud noise made by factory machinery.( )60. The author identifies political party loyalties, and disagreements over tactics as two of several factors that _A. created divisions among workersB. caused work to become more specializedC. encouraged workers to demand higher wagesD. increased workers com
47、plaint of the industrial systemCChemists have sped up evolution, harnessing a process that can take millions of years in the natural world and using itin months or weeksto make unusual molecules that today are used for everything from “green” biofuels(生物燃料) to cancer drugs. Today that speed and effi
48、ciency was rewarded with the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.Frances H. Arnold won half of the 2018 prize for directing evolution in a test tube, speeding up the natural selection of the most productive enzymes(酶) to drive chemical reactions. The other half of the prize went to George P. Smith and Sir Greg
49、ory P. Winter.All three scientists took Charles Darwins idea of natural selection, in which molecules(分子) or organisms accumulate mutations(突变) in a slow, random process, and figured out ways to identify and select specific mutations that improve the ability of molecules such as proteins and enzymes. By picking and choosing enzymes with improved abilities and repeatedly
