    Practice 5  It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check; a check which has come back marked “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check—a  check that will give US upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.  We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path  of racial justice. Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God's children. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. ( I have a dream—Martin Luther King, Jr.)

    就有色公民而论,美国显然没有实践她的诺言。美国没有履行这项神圣的义务,只是给黑人开了一张空头支票,支票上盖着“资金不足”的戳子后便退了回来。但是我们不相信正义的银行已经破产。我们不相信,在这个国家巨大的机会之库里竟然没有足够的储备。因此,今天我们要求将支票兑现——这张支票将给予我们宝贵的自由和正义的保障。
    我们来到这个圣地也是为了提醒美国,现在是非常急迫的时刻;现在决非奢谈冷静下来或服用渐进主义的镇静剂的时候;现在是实现民主的诺言的时候;现在是从种族隔离的荒凉阴暗的深谷攀登种族平等的光明大道的时候;现在是向所有的上帝儿女开放机会之门的时候;现在是把我们的国家从种族不平等的流沙中拯救出来,并置于兄弟情谊的磐石上的时候。

    A recent study of an insurance company’s underwriters indicated that those who worked in pleasant physical surroundings were 25 percent more productive than their peers in unpleasant physical surroundings. Objective criteria for evaluating job performance included caseload and complexity of cases. This shows that improving workers’ environments increases those workers’ productivity.  Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above?
    A

    On average, less-productive employees spend no fewer hours per day at their workstations than do their more-productive peers.

    B

    Unpleasant surroundings give employees less motivation to work hard than more pleasant surroundings do.

    C

    The more-productive employees are generally rewarded with pleasant office space.

    D

    More-productive employees do not work any more hours than their less-productive peers.

    E

    Peer pressure discourages employees in crowded, unpleasant surroundings from making phone calls to their own family members during work time.

    解析:
    文段由一项研究的结果:在令人舒适的工作环境中的员工比处于不太舒适的工作环境中的同时的效率高25%,得出结论:改善工人的工作环境能提高他们的效率,文中没有提到工作效率高和环境好的因果关系,所以如果工作效率高导致了工作环境的变好,那么该假设会得到削弱,故本题应选C项。
