46、Whyisthequestionof"howeasilypeoplecangetusedtoworkingatnight"nomere

academicone?

标准答案：C

知识点角》析：根据第二段，在某些自动化要求机器全天候运转的企业中，人们要实

行轮班，人们从白天工作转入夜晚工作的难易程度越来越成为人们关注的问题。换

言之，如何安排好轮班、使工人适应新班——尤其是上夜班来提高工作效率，对这

些企业来说不只是一个学术(academic)问题，而是一个很实际的问题，直接影响到

工作和生活。B表达的内容虽然在第一段中提到了，但并不是用来说明处理好上夜

班的问题为什么是个很实际的问题。

47、Themainproblemoftheround-the*clockworkingsystemliesin.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第二段最后一句提到，经常调整轮班方式意味着，那个人刚刚适应一

种上班时间，他就不得不改换为另一种，结果，他既无法有效地睡眠，也无法有效

地工作。

48、Itispossibletofindoutifapersonhasadaptedtothechangesofroutineby

measuringhisbodytemperaturebecause.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据第四段第三句，在白天正常工作的人醒着时体温高，夜间体温

低。当他们改成值夜班时，体温模式只会逐渐调整以便适应新的工作方式；一般来

讲，调整的速度与整个身体——特别是就工作表现而言——的调整同步。本段倒数

第二句又提到，体温调整的速度可以帮助我们确定工人适应换班的快慢。B和C不

对。根据第四段第三句，当工作时间改变时，体温模式只会“逐渐”调整，以便适应

新的工作方式，不会迅速地调来调去。D不对，主要错在efficiently这个词上。原

文只是说醒着的时候体温会高。

49、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrue?

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第四段最后一句指出，迄今为止，这种选择方式好像还未实施。

50、Itisimpliedinthelastparagraphthatalowbodytemperatureindicatesthataperson
