First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength. For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck. Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice. I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night.
I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor. I was paid the lowest wage of that timetwo dollars an hour. Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible. I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than $ 100 a week.
But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions. During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch. Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures. The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone. And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor.
I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked. By the time I left, I was determined never to go back there again.

解析:这道题考查考生对文章组织结构的理解,把握了文章的脉络,我们不难得出答案:D。
2007年广东高考英语试题题型(讨论稿)中提出把篇章结构作为专门的一节来考查:要求把标有A-F的句子或段落插入到文章中标记的适当位置,使文章意义完整,结构连贯。
做好这一类题,要先理解全文的意义和结构,然后理解段落的意义和结构,分析句与句之间的关系,句与段落的关系。一般说来,文章中空格的地方主要是三类的句子或者段落:一是段落的主题句;二是和段落主题密切相关的细节句;三是段落或句子之间的过渡句/段。所以学会了分析句与句、句与段、段与段之间的关系做这类题并不难。下面我们来具体看一个例题:
阅读下面短文,请将标有A-F的句子或段落插入到文章中标号为71-75的合适位置,使文章意义完整,结构连贯;其中一个段落或句子是多余的。
Some twenty years ago, the performance of girls and boys in class was compared. 71 Now, the situation is reversed (颠倒) with girls consistently doing better than boys.
72 John Dunsford, leader of the association of head teachers of secondary schools, says that the academic failure of boys is a problem which had its roots in society rather than the classroom. Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a good job. On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men lack confidence, which they hide with a show of bravado (逞能). Theyre uncertain about their place in society. 73
Moreover, boys may learn in a different way from girls, preferring small amounts of work with immediate headlines rather than large projects stretching (延续) into the distance. And education is not seen as cool. 74(责任编辑:www.360gaokao.com)
