He gives us an example the process by which pins were made in England. “One man draws out the wire，another strengthens it，a third cuts it，a fourth points it，a fifth grinds(磨光滑) it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation，to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is，in this manner，divided into about eighteen distinct operations，which in some factories are all performed by different people，though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. ”“Ten men，” Smith said，“in this way，turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4,800 pins a piece. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labour，they certainly could not turn out any pin，each of them would have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.”There can be no doubt that division of labour is a way of organising work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but its a pity he also took it for granted that division of labour is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labour adds nothing new；it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.【文章大意】 本文介绍Adam Smith首先提出劳动分工的重要性并解释其优越性，但遗憾的是他想当然认为劳动分工就自然会加快经济增长，促进经济发展。1According to the passage，Adam Smith was the first person to _.Atake advantage of the division of labour Bunderstand the effects of the division of labourCexplain the causes of the division of labourDintroduce the division of labour into England解析：细节理解题。文章第一句提到Adam Smith是注意劳动分工重要性的第一人，也就是说他看出劳动分工所带来的效益，故B项是正确答案。答案：B2Adam Smith saw that the division of labour _. Aenabled each worker to make pins more quickly and more cheaply Bincreased the number of people employed in factories Cincreased the possible output per worker Dimproved the quality of pins produced 解析：细节理解题。第二段Smith解释说：“10个人这样分工协作一天可以生产12磅的针或者一人大约4 800根针；但如果他们所有人单独做不分工协作，他们当然不能生产任何针，(至多)每个人要生产只能生产20根一天，或者一根也生产不了。”由此可知Adam Smith看出劳动分工提高了每个工人可能提高的生产率。答案：C3Adam Smith mentioned the number 4,800 in order to _. Ashow the advantages of the division of labour Bemphasize how powerful the individual worker was Cshow the advantages of the old craft system Demphasize the importance of increased production 解析：写作意图题。作者在解释劳动分工后带来的益处时提到，每个人可以生产4 800根，所以作者提到4 800这个数字是为了显示劳动分工的优越性。答案：A4Acco
