題目

Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage? A. Knocker-ups preferred to get into the houses of their clients’ to wake them up. B. Antoine Redier made a fortune by selling mechanical alarm clocks to workers. C. British workers greatly appreciated Levi Hutchin’s invention of the alarm clock. D. Police officers during the Industrial Revolution were not paid very well at work.

官方答案

• 答案：D. Police officers during the Industrial Revolution were not paid very well at work.

解析

本題測驗對全文的推論。文中提到，在鬧鐘普及前，英國有「knocker-up」這個行業，受雇在清晨用長竿敲打窗戶叫醒工人；從事此業者多為需要額外收入的低薪者，其中包含警察。由此可推論當時警察待遇不高，故 D 正確。A 錯：knocker-up 以長竿敲窗，並未進入屋內。B 錯：文中只說 Antoine Redier 改良並取得可調整時間的機械鬧鐘專利，未提及他因賣給工人而致富。C 錯：Levi Hutchins 是美國人，其裝置只能固定在清晨四點響，對英國工人並無特別吸引力。
