For each question, the
34、re are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage.Industrial psychology is the application of various psychological techniques to the selection and training of industrial workers and to the promotion of efficient working
35、 conditions and techniques, as well as individual job satisfaction.The selection of workers for particular jobs is essentially a problem of discovering the special aptitude and personality characteristics needed for the job and of devising tests to determine whether candidates have such aptitudes an
36、d characteristics. The development of tests of this kind has long been a field of psychological research.Once the worker is on the job and has been trained, the fundamental aim of the industrial psychologist is to find ways in which a particular job can best accomplished with a minimum of effort and
37、 a maximum of individual satisfaction. The psychologists function, therefore, differs from that of the so-called efficiency expert, who places primary emphasis on increased production. Psychological techniques used to lessen the effort involved in a given job include a detailed study of the motions
38、required to do the job, the equipment used, and the conditions under which the job is performed. After making such a study, the industrial psychologist often determines that the job in question may be accomplished with less effort by changing the routine motions of the work itself, changing or movin
39、g the tools, improving the working conditions, or a combination of several of these methods.Industrial psychologists have also studied the effects of fatigue on workers to determine the length of working time that yields the greatest productivity. In some cases such studies have proven that total pr
40、oduction on particular jobs could be increased by reducing the number of working hours or by increasing the number of rest periods, or “breaks“, during the day. Industrial psychologists may also suggest less direct requirements for general improvement of job performance, such as establishing a bette
41、r line of communication between employees and management.（分数：5.00）(1).From the first sentence of the passage, we learn that the primary objective of industrial psychology is to study _.（分数：1.00）A.working efficiency that leads to the highest outputB.the working skills and the working environmentC.the
42、 techniques leading to the highest productivityD.the utilization of workers to get the greatest profit(2).A test in industrial psychology is used to find out _.（分数：1.00）A.a workers achievementB.a workers potential for a certain jobC.a workers psychological problemD.a workers motivation for a certain
43、 job(3).The industrial psychologists job function differs from that of the efficiency experts in that the former _.（分数：1.00）A.places great emphasis on maximum productionB.never cares about the increase of productionC.is mainly concerned with workers satisfactionD.worries a lot about those workers in
44、 poor working conditions(4).In an industrial psychologists mind, all of the following is important except _.（分数：1.00）A.the steps in which work is doneB.the state of mind of a worker when workingC.the effect of working environment on a workerD.the value of the product a worker is making(5).It is cert
45、ain that _.（分数：1.00）A.two breaks in a day lead to higher productivity than oneB.working fewer hours can yield the highest efficiencyC.communication is increasing between the employers and employeesD.changing tools will help increase the productionQuestions 56-60 are based on the following passage.Ex
46、change a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can ho
47、ld a persons gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since
48、being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman calls “a dimming of the lights“. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passengers eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person excee
