问题 In 1924 America's National Research Council sent two engineers to supervise a series of industrial experiments at a large telephone-parts factory called the Hawthorne Plant near Chicago.It hoped they would learn how stop-floor lighting 1 workers'productivity.Instead,the studies ended 2 giving their name to the"Hawthorne effect",the extremely influential idea that the very 3 to being experimented upon changed subjects'behavior.The idea arose because of the 4 behavior of the women in the Hawthorne plant.According to 5 of the experiments,their hourly output rose when lighting was increased,but also when it was dimmed.It did not 6 what was done in the experiment;7 something was changed,productivity rose.A(n)8 that they were being experimented upon seemed to be 9 to alter workers'behavior 10 itself.After several decades,the same data were 11 to econometric the analysis.Hawthorne experiments has another surprise store 12the descriptions on record,no systematic 13 was found that levels of productivity were related to changes in lighting.It turns out that peculiar way of conducting the experiments may be have let to 14 interpretation of what happed.15,lighting was always changed on a Sunday.When work started again on Monday,output 16 rose compared with the previous Saturday and 17 to rise for the next couple of days.18,a comparison with data for weeks when there was no experimentation showed that output always went up on Monday,workers 19 to be diligent for the first few days of the week in any case,before 20 a plateau and then slackening off.This suggests that the alleged"Hawthorne effect"is hard to pin down.6选?A.concludeB.matterC.indicateD.work

选项 A.conclude
B.matter
C.indicate
D.work

答案 B

解析 根据第四题的分析得出,该句表达的意思是,“在实验室中做什么并不重要”,因此,使用固定搭配It didn’t matter…。本题考查了It doesn’t/didn’t matter…意为“……不重要”,其中it为形式主语,真正的主语为后面的从句。其它三个干扰选项都能与空前的It did not连用。其中A、C为及物动词,如果填入空格,后面的what从句只能做宾语,这样一来句首的it应该有所指;但在上下文中,找不到能衔接上下文的it所指代的对象,故排除这两项。D项work意为“起作用”时,为不及物动词,但填入后不符合上下文语义,故也排除。所以本题的正确答案为B。
