46、Whyisthequestionof"howeasilypeoplecangetusedtoworkingatnight"nomere

academicone?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)角》析：根據(jù)第二段，在某些自動(dòng)化要求機(jī)器全天候運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的企業(yè)中，人們要實(shí)

行輪班，人們從白天工作轉(zhuǎn)入夜晚工作的難易程度越來(lái)越成為人們關(guān)注的問(wèn)題。換

言之，如何安排好輪班、使工人適應(yīng)新班——尤其是上夜班來(lái)提高工作效率，對(duì)這

些企業(yè)來(lái)說(shuō)不只是一個(gè)學(xué)術(shù)(academic)問(wèn)題，而是一個(gè)很實(shí)際的問(wèn)題，直接影響到

工作和生活。B表達(dá)的內(nèi)容雖然在第一段中提到了，但并不是用來(lái)說(shuō)明處理好上夜

班的問(wèn)題為什么是個(gè)很實(shí)際的問(wèn)題。

47、Themainproblemoftheround-the*clockworkingsystemliesin.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第二段最后一句提到，經(jīng)常調(diào)整輪班方式意味著，那個(gè)人剛剛適應(yīng)一

種上班時(shí)間，他就不得不改換為另一種，結(jié)果，他既無(wú)法有效地睡眠，也無(wú)法有效

地工作。

48、Itispossibletofindoutifapersonhasadaptedtothechangesofroutineby

measuringhisbodytemperaturebecause.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)第四段第三句，在白天正常工作的人醒著時(shí)體溫高，夜間體溫

低。當(dāng)他們改成值夜班時(shí)，體溫模式只會(huì)逐漸調(diào)整以便適應(yīng)新的工作方式；一般來(lái)

講，調(diào)整的速度與整個(gè)身體——特別是就工作表現(xiàn)而言——的調(diào)整同步。本段倒數(shù)

第二句又提到，體溫調(diào)整的速度可以幫助我們確定工人適應(yīng)換班的快慢。B和C不

對(duì)。根據(jù)第四段第三句，當(dāng)工作時(shí)間改變時(shí)，體溫模式只會(huì)“逐漸”調(diào)整，以便適應(yīng)

新的工作方式，不會(huì)迅速地調(diào)來(lái)調(diào)去。D不對(duì)，主要錯(cuò)在efficiently這個(gè)詞上。原

文只是說(shuō)醒著的時(shí)候體溫會(huì)高。

49、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrue?

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：第四段最后一句指出，迄今為止，這種選擇方式好像還未實(shí)施。

51、Apersonisgenerallybelievedtohaveachievedpersonalgrowthwhen.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案:A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：如果一個(gè)人戒了煙，那么人們一般會(huì)認(rèn)為他有所長(zhǎng)進(jìn)。作者在第一段

開(kāi)頭說(shuō)，看長(zhǎng)進(jìn)的方法有二，一是看成果，二是看過(guò)程。人們一般把個(gè)人的長(zhǎng)進(jìn)看

作是一種能夠輕易地識(shí)別或衡量的外在結(jié)果或成果。

52、Intheauthor'seyes,onewhoviewspersonalgrowthasaprocesswould.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn).析：根據(jù)作者的觀點(diǎn)，把人的成長(zhǎng)看作是一個(gè)過(guò)程的人會(huì)面對(duì)困難、接受

挑戰(zhàn)。答案的依據(jù)是整個(gè)第二段。

53、Whentheauthorsays"anewwayofbeing'1,heisreferringto.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：作者說(shuō)“anewwayofbeing”，他是指體驗(yàn)世界的一種新方法。根據(jù)a

newwayolbeing所在的句子，可以判斷出它是指體驗(yàn)世界的新方法。

54、Forpersonalgrowth,theauthoradvocatesallofthefollowingEXCEPT.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：就個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)而言，作者有以下主張，D除外。作者的主張A、B、C

在第三段可以找到。就個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)而言，他不提倡D,因?yàn)樗谧詈笠欢握f(shuō)，如果我

們不面對(duì)并克服內(nèi)心的恐懼和疑慮，如果我們過(guò)分地保護(hù)自己，我們便停止成長(zhǎng)。

作者要我們克服內(nèi)心的恐懼，他自然不會(huì)提倡內(nèi)心的恐懼和疑慮。
