D.consumers only pay what they have to pay fｏｒa given service, because they don\'t like tipping

A.it makes their advertisements more conspicuous

B.it makes their advertisements more convincing

C.the majority of TV doctors are dressed up in white coats

D.it makes the actors take the job seriously

B.body temperature changes when he changes to night shift ｏｒback

C.the temperature reverses when the routine is changed

答案解析:本題考了一個(gè)重要的細(xì)節(jié)：為什么量體溫能看出一個(gè)人是否已經(jīng)適應(yīng)新的工作時(shí)間呢？根據(jù)4第段第3句，正常日班工作時(shí)工作效率高，體溫也稍高。文章接著又說，改變工作安排之后，有一個(gè)適應(yīng)過程，體溫變動(dòng)模式也隨著適應(yīng)程度的變化而變化，效率高時(shí)體溫也高一些。所以選項(xiàng)D是答案。這一點(diǎn)還可以從這一句最后的particularly in terms of performance中看出。選項(xiàng)A不全面，沒有指出體溫變化與身體的適應(yīng)程度大體上一致這一點(diǎn)，也沒有指出可以根據(jù)其工作好壞判斷。同樣的道理，選項(xiàng)B和選項(xiàng)C也不對(duì)。

4、Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies？（）【閱讀理解A】

A.They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills

C.They attach more importance to workers than to equipment

D.They only hire skilled workers because of keen competition

正確答案:B

答案解析:問下列哪種情況與美國(guó)公司人才管理狀況相符。第1段第3句話指出：“掌握勞動(dòng)技能被認(rèn)為是個(gè)人自己的責(zé)任?！盉項(xiàng)說，“公司把獲得勞動(dòng)技能看成是受雇者自己的事。”可見，這兩句內(nèi)容相吻合。A、C、D三項(xiàng)又與原文不符，故B為正確答案。

5、The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to（）.【閱讀理解A】

A.workers who can operate new equipment

B.technological ａｎｄ　managerial staff

C.workers who lack basic background skills

D.top executives

正確答案:B

答案解析:問美國(guó)公司用于培訓(xùn)的資金去向何處。第3段中講：“……美國(guó)公司在培訓(xùn)職工技能方面的投資比日本和德國(guó)公司都要少。他們所投資的對(duì)象的確也僅是更多地集中在專業(yè)人員和管理人員身上。用于培訓(xùn)員工的那部分有限的資金也是更多地用于培訓(xùn)員工做好一份新工作所需的具體技能而不是用于培訓(xùn)員工的基本技能。然而正是這些基本技能使得員工能夠吸收掌握新技術(shù)?！盇、C兩項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與原文不符。D項(xiàng)“高級(jí)經(jīng)理”實(shí)際上是包括在B項(xiàng)“技術(shù)人員和管理人員”中的，因?yàn)椤案呒?jí)經(jīng)理”也是管理人員的一部分。而且，B項(xiàng)與本段第二句話意思相近，故應(yīng)為正確答案。
