In the mid-1920s the Hawthorne Works of the Western Electric Company was the scene of an intensive series of experiments that would investigate changes in working conditions as to their effects on workers' performance.
that would investigate changes in working conditions as to their effects on workers' performance
investigating the effects that changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance
for investigating what the effects on workers' performance are that changes in working conditions would cause
that investigated changes in working conditions' effects on workers' performance
to investigate what the effects changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance
老师这题有点疑问:
1.如果根据句意排除,investigate changes而不是effects我觉得比较模糊,尤其是大多数选项都是investigate changes的情况下,就很容易考虑成去调查的内容是改变,effects是要得出的结论。
2.as to是不是只能解释前面的名词,比如说decisions as to whether...
3.C中错的不应该是the effects吗?what the effects先行词提前。正常是for investigating that changes in working conditions would cause are what effects on...这里的错误不是在于多了一个are吗?
4.E中为啥说experiments是动作发出者, XX research is an experiment to investiate表目的不行吗?这里难度必须要知道谁在investigate吗?而且正常语序是 changes in working conditions would have what effects on worker's performance为什么说缺少谓语了呢?
5.D中,experiments investigated sth是不对的吗?那如果正确地说实验调查了什么要怎么表达呢?
1. 咱们不能看大多数,要看逻辑意思。change(改变)其实不需要调查,只需要观察就行,只有改变带来的影响,才需要调查。
2. as to一般都是和so成对出现的,例如so as to。单纯的as to,一般只是会被看做介词,做定语修饰名词。
3. 在按照选项最合理的意思来读的前提下,what单独看作一个名词,身后相当于是what的定语从句。这样先行词what在定语从句中做are身后额表语,是合乎语法结构的。
4. 这个问题的解释和3差不多。what自己是名词,身后是定语从句。changes in working conditions would have on workers' performance又是effect的定语从句,所以what身后的定语从句就少了谓语动词。
5. 可以接受。在这个点上和选项B是一样的。错在investigate的宾语上。
