In 1924 America’s National Research Council sent two engineers to supervise a series of experiments at a telephone-parts factory called the Hawthorne Plant near Chicago. It hoped they would learn how stop-floor lighting【C1】______workers’ productivity. Instead, the studies ended【C2】______ giving their name to the "Hawthorne effect", the extremely influential idea that the very【C3】______of being experimented upon changed subjects’ behavior.
The idea arose because of the【C4】______behavior of the women in the plant. According to【C5】______of the experiments, their hourly output rose when lighting was increased, but also when it was dimmed. It did not【C6】______what was done in the experiment;【C7】______something was changed, productivity rose. A(n)【C8】______that they were being experimented upon seemed to be【C9】______to alter workers’ behavior【C10】______itself.
After several decades, the same data were【C11】______to econometric analysis. Hawthorne experiments has another surprise in store.【C12】______the descriptions on record, no systematic【C13】______ was found that levels of productivity were related to changes in lighting.
It turns out that the peculiar way of conducting the experiments may have led to【C14】______ interpretations of what happened.【C15】______, lighting was always changed on a Sunday. When work started again on Monday, output【C16】______rose compared with the previous Saturday and【C17】______to rise for the next couple of days.【C18】______, a comparison with data for weeks when there was no experimentation showed that output always went up on Mondays. Workers【C19】______to be diligent for the first few days of the week in any case, before【C20】______a plateau and then slackening off. This suggests that the alleged "Hawthorne effect" is hard to pin down.
【C9】
选项
A、suitable
B、excessive
C、enough
D、abundant
答案
C
解析
考查上下文理解及形容词辨析。本句主干为An awareness…seemed to be______ to alter workers’behavior…。显然是说,工人们意识到自己就是被实验的对象,而这种意识就足够改变他们的行为。因此选C.enough。suitable“合适的”,excessive“过多的,过度的”,abundant“丰富的,充裕的”,均不符合语境。
