19、o know what was special about our particular garden,since many schools plant them.(他们想知道我们的花园有什么特别之处，因为许多学校都在种)及第三段中 The teacher explained that,after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie(大草原),we had made a prairie garden.We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants,and then

20、we planted them.(老师解释说，我们在网上了解了草原之后，做了一个草原花园。我们去了一个大草原，从植物中获取种子，然后我们种植它们)可知，新闻台工作者想知道作者班级做的花园有什么特别之处时，老师解释说这个花园的植物种子来自于草原上的植物。由此可推知，这个花园的特别之处在于花园里的植物种子真正来自于草原上的植物。故选 C。6.B 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中划线词所在句及前一句话 All that work,all those blisters,it was worth it.We knew that when we saw the garden every day,but now

21、we knew that the whole city thought so,too.(所有这些工作，所有这些水泡，都是值得的。当我们每天看到花园时，我们知道这一点，但现在我们知道，整个城市的人也这样认为)可推知，划线词 that 指代前一句的内容，即“我们的努力是值得的”。故选 B。7.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 The news reporter told our story.It was only two minutes long,but it was us.We were famous.All that work,all those blisters,it was worth it

24、ere fewer jobs can be done remotely,distancing measures wont work as well.The virus will spread quickly,and health systems wont be able to care for the infected.Wealthy nations can help.But people in rich and poor places alike will be safe only once we have an effective medical solution for this vir

26、gress in vaccines,two other big medical breakthroughs will emerge from the pandemic.One will be in the field of diagnostics.The next time a novel virus crops up,people will probably be able to test for it at home.Researchers could have such a test ready within a few months of identifying a new disea

27、se.The third breakthrough will be in antiviral drugs.We havent been as effective at developing drugs to fight viruses as we have those to fight bacteria.But that will Researchers will develop large diverse libraries of antivirals,which theyll be able to scan trough and quickly find effective treatme

29、2021,I think well learn from the years after 1945.With the end of the Second World War,leaders built international institutions like the UN to prevent more conflicts.After covid-19,leaders will prepare institutions to prevent the next pandemic.These will be a mix of national,regional and global orga

30、nizations.I expect they will participate in regulargerm games”in the same way as armed forces take part in War games.These will keep us ready for the next time a novel virus jumps from bats or birds to humans.I hope wealthy nations include poorer ones in these preparations,especially by devoting mor

31、e foreign aid to building up their primary health-care systems.This pandemic has shown us that viruses dont obey border laws and that we are all connected biologically by a network of microscopic germs,whether we like it or not.The best analogy(类比）for today might be November 10th 1942.Britain had ju

32、st won its first land victory of the war,and Winston Churchill declared in a speech:“This is not the end.It is not even the beginning of the end.But it is,perhaps,the end of the beginning.”8.What are the three technologies that will prepare us for the next pandemic?manufacturing a vaccine fast diagn

36、“My hope is that,by the second half of 2021,facilities around the world will be manufacturing a vaccine.If thats the case,it will be a history-making achievement:the fastest humankind has ever gone from recognizing a new disease to immunizing（免疫）against it.”可知，我希望到 2021 年下半年，全世界的药厂都能生产出疫苗，如果是这样的话，这将

37、是一个历史性的成就：人类有史以来从认识一种新病毒到对它免疫最快的一次（快速生产疫苗）；根据第五段中的“Apart from this progress in vaccines,two other big medical breakthroughs will emerge from the pandemic.One will be in the field of diagnostics.The next time a novel virus crops up,people will probably be able to test for it at home.”可知，除了疫苗方面的这一进展，这

38、次疫情还将带来另外两项重大医学突破，其中一个是诊断学领域，下一次出现新的病毒时，人们可能就可以在家里进行测试了（在家诊断病毒）；根据第六段“The third breakthrough will be in antiviral drugs.”及“Researchers will develop large diverse libraries of antivirals,which theyll be able to scan trough and quickly find effective treatments for novel viruses.”可知，第三个突破是在抗病毒药物方面，在研发

39、对抗病毒的药物方面，研究人员将开发出大量不同的抗病毒药物库，他们将能够扫描并快速找到针对新病毒的有效治疗方法（研发抗病毒药物），最后结合第七段“All three technologies will prepare us for the next pandemic by allowing us to intervene(干预）early when the number of cases is still very low.”可知，以上三种技术将使我们为应对下一次疫情做好准备，使我们能够在病例数仍然很低的时候及早进行干预，故 A 项正确。9.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In poorer c

40、ountries,where fewer jobs can be done remotely,distancing measures wont work as well.The virus will spread quickly,and health systems wont be able to care for the infected.”可知，在较贫穷的国家，远程完成的工作更少，因此远程隔离措施也不会奏效，病毒会迅速传播，卫生系统将无法照顾感染者；再根据倒数第二段中的“This pandemic has shown us that viruses dont obey border law

41、s”可知，这次疫情向我们表明，病毒不遵守边境法，由此可知，如果贫穷国家控制不住病毒，病毒将会跨国传播，故 D 项正确。10.C 推理判断题。根据第八段中的“In the years after 2021,I think well learn from the years after 1945.With the end of the Second World War,leaders built international institutions like the UN to prevent more conflicts.After covid-19,leaders will prepare i

42、nstitutions to prevent the next pandemic.”可知，在 2021 年后的岁月里，我想我们会从 1945 年后的岁月中吸取教训，随着第二次世界大战的结束，各国领导人建立了像联合国这样的国际机构来防止更多的冲突，在此次新冠疫情之后，各国领导人将准备好（成立）预防下一次疫情的机构，再根据第九段中的“These will be a mix of national,regional and global organizations.”可知，这些组织将是国家、区域和全球组织的混合体，由此可知，第八段提到第二次世界大战是为了说明我们应该像第二次世界大战后那样进行全球合作

43、，故 C 项正确。11.B 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据第七段“All three technologies will prepare us for the next pandemic by allowing us to intervene(干预）early when the number of cases is still very low.”可知，以上三种技术（快速生产疫苗、在家诊断病毒、研发抗病毒药物）将使我们为应对下一次疫情做好准备，使我们能够在病例数仍然很低的时候及早进行干预；再根据第八段中的“After covid-19,leaders will prepare institu

44、tions to prevent the next pandemic.”及第九段中的“These will be a mix of national,regional and global organizations.”可知，在此次新冠疫情之后，各国领导人将准备好（成立）预防下一次疫情的机构，它们将是国家、区域和全球组织的混合体（世界各国进行全球合作），这些都有助于人类抗击下一次疫情，由此可知，在写这篇文章时，比尔盖茨对人类抗击下一次疫情是有信心的、持乐观态度（这篇文章的基调是乐观的），故 B 项正确。DThe Jewish(犹太人）family-had-just finished suppe

45、r and the woman had placed the dishes in the sink.The kitchen was quite damp and even gloomier than in the main room.It was their third apartment since the start of the war,they had abandoned the other two in a hurry.The woman came back into the room and sat down again at the table.The 3-year-old bo

51、.“Just a minute,I cant find them,I dont know where Mama put them,he yelled,then dragged the chair across the room,climbed onto it,and reached up to the top of the shelf.“I found them!”he shouted triumphantly.Then he got down from the chair,pushed it back to the table,and calmly walked to the door an

53、stared at the closed bathroom door.At last it opened.The man was pale and his clothes were streaked with lime and dust.He stood there,eyes blinking in that funny way.“Well?How did it go?asked the woman.“I still need more time.He has to look for them longer.I slip in sideways all right,but then.Its s

55、.You act just like a grown-up.And you do know that if someone should really ring the doorbell when Mama is at work,everything will depend on you?And what will you say when they ask you about your parents?”“Mamas at work.”“And Papa?He was silent.“And Papa?the man screamed in terror.The child turned p

56、ale.“And Papa?”the man repeated more calmly.“Hes dead,”the child answered and threw himself at his father,who was standing right beside him,but already long dead to the people who would really ring the bell.12.What does the underlined sentence in Para.5 mean?A.The family needed to practise the game

57、for another 2 or 3 minutes.B.There was still 2 or 3 minutes left before someone knocked at the door.C.They would become too sleepy to play the game 2 or 3 minutes later.D.The father needed 2 or 3 more minutes before the kid opened the door.13.Why did the boy make a lot of noise when he was looking f

59、ther repeat“shut the door”in a tired,flat voice,instead of the previous soft one?A.She was angry because her son didnt close the door as he had been told to.B.She felt anxious because she knew her husband would be annoyed at the boy again.C.She was disappointed because the boys movement betrayed aga

60、in where her husband was.D.She was impatient because she was asked to repeat these words again and again every evening.15.What is the best title of the passage?A.A Scary NightB.The Key GameC.My Father Is DeadD.An Innocent Boy【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是三岁的男孩和父母晚上玩的找钥匙游戏。12.D 句意猜测题。根据第五段中 They were still two

61、 or three minutes off.“他们还有两三分钟的时间。”和下文的“Il1 open up in a minute,Im just looking for the keys,the child called out.“我马上就开门，我只是在找钥匙。”孩子叫道。由此推知划线句意的意思是“父亲又过了两三分钟，孩子才打开门。”故选 D。13.A 推理判断题。根据第 8 段“Il1 open up in a minute,Im just looking for the keys,the child called out.Then he ran back to the main room,

62、making a lot of noise with his feet.He ran in circles around the table,pulled out one of the sideboard drawers,and slammed it shut.“我马上就开门，我只是在找钥匙。”孩子叫道。然后他跑回主屋，用脚弄出很大的声响。他绕着桌子跑了一圈，拉出一个餐具柜抽屉，砰地关上。和下文中的 hes got to make more noise-he should stamp his feet louder.“他得弄出更多的声音他跺脚的声音应该更大一些。”由此推知，这个男孩在找钥匙的时

63、候之所以发出这么大的声音，是因为他需要淹没他父亲发出的噪音。故选 A。14.C 推理判断题。根据第 1315 段中 At last it opened.The man was pale and his clothes were streaked with lime and dust.He stood there,eyes blinking in that funny way.最后它打开了。那人脸色苍白，衣服上布满了石灰和灰尘。他站在那里，眼睛眨得很滑稽。“Well?How did it go?asked the woman.“嗯?进展如何?”女人问。“I still need more tim

64、e.He has to look for them longer.I slip in sideways all right,but then.Its so tight in there that when I turn.And hes got to make more noise-he should stamp his feet louder.“我还需要更多的时间。他不得不花更长的时间去寻找它们。我侧身滑了进去，但后来里面太紧了，我一转身他必须制造更多的噪音他应该跺脚更大声。”由此可知，母亲用疲惫、平淡的声音重复着“关上门”，而不是先前那句温柔的话是因为她很失望，因为男孩的举动再次泄露了她丈夫

65、的行踪。故选 C。15.B 标题判断题。根据第三段 It was late,past ten oclock and they could have gone to sleep,but first they had to play the game that they had been playing every day for two weeks.“时间已经很晚了，10 点多了，他们本来可以去睡觉的，但是他们必须先玩他们已经玩了两个星期的游戏。”和第四段“Well play the key game just one more time only today.Isnt that right?s

66、he asked her husband.“我们只会在今天再玩一次找钥匙的比赛。好吗?”她问丈夫。这篇文章讲述了一个找钥匙比赛。所以 B 项为最佳标题。故选 B。（2）山东省济南市章丘市第四中学 2019-2020 学年高二下学期第五次质量检测AUS student Vanessa Tahay stands out from the other teenagers in her school.Her skin is dark,her accent is thick,and if you ask her,she will tell you these are the things she is

67、proudest of.Tahay is a poet,and at 18 she was considered among the best in Los Angeles.When she is on the stage,audiences often go silent.They also laugh,shout and cry.But this doesnt come easily for someone who comes from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America.W

68、hen she first appeared at school,she was teased by others for being short and different.She never spoke,so they called her“mouse”.“How do I defend myself?”Tahay thought.“I dont know how.”“Keep going,”her mother would tell her.“At some point,youll learn.”She spent hours after school and on weekends w

72、g and diction(措辞).Still,she wouldnt tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they would make fun of her.But with time,her poems changed her.“They gave me pride,”Tahay said.“They told me that Im worth something.”“She had this innocence,”Kurnick said.“This willingness to be genuine and sh

75、 about herself.D.She improved her grammar and spelling greatly.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了皮肤黝黑的女生塔海经常被同学取笑，这让她很自卑，但是诗歌给了她自信。1.细节理解题。根据第四段“Keep going,”her mother would tell her.“At some point,youll learn.”可知，当被别人取笑时，塔海的妈妈告诉她不要理那些嘲笑的话，继续前进，故 D 项正确。2.细节理解题。根据第六段中的“The poems focus on many things some funny,some

76、painful.”可知，塔海和她的小组成员的诗歌专注于（主题是）生活中有趣和痛苦的事情，故 A 项正确。3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But with time,her poems changed her.“They gave me pride,”Tahay said.“They told me that Im worth something.”可知，但随着时间的推移，塔海的诗歌改变了她，诗歌让她感到自豪，让她知道自己是有价值的，也就是说诗歌给了她自信，故 C 项正确。BA large body of research has been developed in recent years t

77、o explain many aspects of willpower.Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind:How can willpower be strengthened?If willpower is truly a limited resource,as the research suggests,what can be done to make it stay strong?Avoiding temptation(诱惑)is an effective met

78、hod for maintaining self-control,which is called the out of sight,out of mind principle.One recent study,for instance,found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks,in plain sight.The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-con

79、trol raises a troubling question.When we face too many temptations,are we to fail?Not necessarily.Researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted.Rather,people appear to hold some willpower in reserve,saved for future demands.The right motivation allows us to tap into those

80、 reserves,allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down.High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.Willpower may also be made less vulnerable(脆弱)to being exhausted in the first place.Researchers who study self-control often describe it

81、as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use.But there is another aspect to the muscle comparison,they say.While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term,they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term.Similarly,regular practices of self-control may improve willpowe

82、r strength.The evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Years Eve is the worst possible approach.Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas,so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time.In other words,dont try

83、 to quit smoking,adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time.Taking goals one by one is a better approach.Once a good habit is in place,Baumeister says,youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior.Eventually healthy habits will become routine,and wo

84、nt require making decisions at all.4.From the studies in the passage we learn that _.A.people have unlimited self-controlB.high motivation ensures ones successC.too many temptations often lead to failureD.willpower is hardly completely exhausted5.The underlined phrase tap into in Paragraph 3 most pr

85、obably means _.A.put up withB.make up forC.make use ofD.keep away from6.The author compares selfcontrol to muscles _.A.to explain the benefits of practicing self-controlB.to show the significance of regular exerciseC.to argue that self-control can he easily used upD.to prove the long-term effect of

86、willpower7.To develop a good habit,which of the following does the author prefer?A.I will give up dessert and do exercise.B.I will set three goals this new semester.C.I will read an English novel every month.D.I will keep myself from any temptation.【文章大意】这是一篇议论文。文章列举了关于意志力的几种研究和观点，作者认为有了明确的目标，良好的自我监

87、督和练习，就可以在面对诱惑时使意志力保持坚强。4.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted.Rather,people appear to hold some willpower in reserve,saved for future demands.”可知，研究人员不相信人的意志力会完全耗尽，他们还有备用的和为将来需求节省的意志力。所以从文章中的研究了解到，意志力很难完全用尽。故选 D 项。5.C 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“The right motivat

162、uspected that if I tried to release the wolf,she would turn aggressive and try to tear me to pieces.So I decided to search for her pups instead.After several moments,I spotted paw marks on a trail.I finally spotted the den(狼窝).Wolf pups are shy and cautious,and I didnt have much hope of luring them

163、outside.But I had to try.So I began imitating the high-pitched squeak of a mother wolf calling her young.No response.A few moments later,after I tried another call,four tiny pups appeared.They couldnt have been more than a few weeks old.I extended my hands,and they tentatively suckled at my fingers.

164、Perhaps hunger had helped overcome their natural fear.Then,I took them to their mother.Possibly picking up the smell of her young,the mother wolf let out a high-pitched,sad call.The pups raced to her.Within seconds,they were drinking milk at her belly.The mother wolf was clearly suffering,very weak.

279、 for more than 2,557 participants in 11 countries.They divided their test subjects into two groups.In the first group,people were asked to spend 10 to 15 minutes“entertaining themselves with their thoughts as best they could.”Just sit back and think about things.Sounds good,doesnt it?Well,not really

280、.The second group the one where people were told to surf the Net,play a video game,or even read a book reported having much more fun.They scored more highly on entertainment and lower on boredom.And the preference for distraction seemed to be a global phenomenon,which may come as a surprise to Itali

287、质量是否重要。12.C 细节理解题。根据第六段“the preference for distraction seemed to be a global phenomenon,which may come as a surprise to Italians who are famously brilliant at doing nothing.”可知，喜欢分散注意力似乎是一种全球现象，这可能会让以什么都不做而著称的意大利人感到惊讶；根据第四段“as the research published this week in the Journal of Personality and Social

288、 Psychology notes,people will do just about anything to avoid being left to their own thoughts.”可知，正如本周发表在个性与社会心理学杂志上的研究指出的那样，人们会做任何事情来避免被自己的想法左右。由以上内容可以看出，意大利人什么都不做是让自己被自己的想法左右。因此，意大利人对人们的做法感到吃惊是因为意大利人习惯于被自己的想法左右。故选 C。13.B 推理判断题。根据第五段“For their study,researchers designed a sample test for more than

289、 2,557 participants in 11 countries.They divided their test subjects into two groups.”可知，在他们的研究中，研究人员设计了一个样本测试，共有来自 11 个国家的 2557 名参与者参加。他们把实验对象分成两组。由此可以看出，研究结果是通过比较两个小组的表现得出的，因此判断出研究是通过对比进行的。故选 B。14.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第四段“But there does seem to be an important thing that hasnt been included in the study.Sh

290、ouldnt the quality of thoughts matter?”可知，但研究中似乎有一个重要的遗漏。难道思想的质量不重要吗？因此研究中忽略的是思想的质量。故选 A。15.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Theres a whole world of distractions out there.Say,have you seen that ship teetering at the brink of Niagara Falls?And how about those charming cows?Bet you didnt didnt know they could smell y

291、ou from six miles away.”可知，外面有很多让人分心的东西。喂，你看见那艘船在尼亚加拉瀑布边摇摇欲坠吗?那些可爱的奶牛呢?我打赌你不知道他们在六英里外就能闻到你的气味。这种方式很幽默（humorous），所以判断出文章的基调是幽默的。故选 D。（7）江苏省昆山市 2019-2020 学年高二下学期期中教学质量调研测试AStudent Activities AssistantBluegrass Community and Technical College$10 an hourDuties:This position will support the Student Acti

312、as 3 years old and had to go to the hospital to have a metal disk put into his chest to facilitate his hemophilia.Max 变成钢铁 Max 是在他三岁时不得不去医院在他的胸腔里装一个金属盘以改善他的血友病。”可知，安装金属盘的目的是为了改善他的血友病，此处的 facilitate 隐含“改善”之意。故 B 选项切题。5.D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A charitable act by Maxs sister Zoe,8,who was selling calendars wi

313、th pictures of Max to support kids with hemophilia being treated at Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia,soon came to the attention of Marvel.The creators of Iron Man then decided officially to make Max a superhero by putting him in one of their comics right alongside Iron Man himself.Max 姐姐 Zoe 的一个善举

315、ear and a half honestly not great,this kid should gain a win.他的父亲对 NBC 媒体称：他并不是一个爱哭的人，但是这是第一次他哭了。已经一年半的时间，Max 需要赢得胜利。”通过他父亲的描述可知 Max 的身体状况并不乐观，正在经历一个艰难时期。故 A 选项切题。7.B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Max told NBC News.Like its really cool.Im making other children not scared because theres a kid whos a superhero and t

316、hey would like to be that I guess.Max 告诉 NBC 新闻，这很酷，我变成了超级英雄，这会让其他有血友病的孩子不会再感到害怕”。可知，对于 Max 来说，他成为钢铁 Max会鼓励其他有血友病的孩子坚强。故 B 选项切题。C The problem of robocalls(自动语言电话）has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they dont know.By next year,half of the calls we receive will

317、be scams(欺诈).We are finally waking up to the seriousness of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools,apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through.Unfortunately,Its too little,too late.By the time these solutions become widely available,scammers will have mov

328、s”(解决方案)become widely available,scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.可知，我们认识到了问题的严重性，支持和开发了旨在防止欺诈者通过的工具、应用程序和方法。不幸的是，我们的努力太少了，也太晚了。在这些“解决方案”被广泛使用的时候，骗子将转移到更巧妙的手段上。由此推知，作者认为这些“解决办法”对于解决问题起不了什么作用，因此作者感到很“失望”。故选 D 项。9.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的The reason that rob calls are a headache has less to do with am

329、ount than precision.A decade of data breaches(数据侵入)of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mothers name,and far more.Armed with this knowledge,theyre able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people.This means,for example,that a scammer co

330、uld call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank tellers,tricking you into“confirming”your address,mothers name,and card number.可知，机器人通话之所以令人头痛，与其说与数量有关，不如说与精确度有关。长达十年的个人信息泄露已经导致了这样一种情况：骗子可以轻易地知道你母亲的名字，甚至更多。有了这些知识，他们就能够开展有针对性的活动来欺骗

331、人们。由此可知，利用这种新的技术，欺诈者们可以精确的确定他们行骗的目标。故选 A 项。10.B 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句 At this years I/O Conference,a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.可知，这项语音技术可以产生一个听起来和人类非常相似的声

332、音，它可以和接待员进行交谈，进行预订。由此可知，这项新技术有其好的方面。根据第三段的叙述可知，欺诈者们可以利用这项新技术来进行欺诈行为。因此这项新技术既可以发挥好的作用，也可能为坏人所利用，产生不好的影响，因此可以说它是一把双刃剑。故选 B 项。11.C 主旨大意题。第一段提到：rob calls（机器人电话：自动拨号播放录音信息的推销电话）在未来变得会越来越严重，不仅仅是出现在你的手机屏幕上的电话号码令人怀疑，而且你会质疑听到的声音是否是真的。第二段介绍原因：语音操作与自动化技术的出现使得机器人电话可以以假乱真。第三段介绍了语音操作和自动化技术发展会使得机器人电话产生的问题更加严重。最后两段

333、提出我们该如何应对这些问题。综上，文章第一段点明文章中心：机器人电话问题在未来会变得越来越严重。下文都是围绕这一话题展开的。故选 C 项。DThere will be days when you do not have much to do.Perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department or a different company to respond to a request.As the clock ticks past 5 pm,there may be no purpose in s

345、 make an effort to look busy 可知，下班后你不回去，努力让自己忙起来。不止是忙给自己看的，更重要的是忙给他们看。根据下文，“他们”指的就是“老板”。同时根据第 2 段 Staff may feel that they will not get a pay rise,or a promotion,if they are not seen to be putting in maximum effort 可知，员工得不到提薪和升职，如果他们没有被老板看到尽最大的努力的话。综合分析可推知，下班后员工继续加班是为给老板留下好印象的。故选 D 项。13.B 细节理解题。文章第

346、3 段和第 4 段提到的结果包括了：wasted effort（浪费精力）；collective self-cheat（集体自我欺骗）；reducing productivity,（减少效率）；increase medical expenses（增加员工医疗成本）；同时根据第 4 段 As a result,those workers were more likely to experience greater pain and to suffer from depression.What could be more upset than being in pain while feeling
