Answer 1

分析 文章大意：本文讲述了按部就班的"打卡考勤上班"的工作是很无聊的，工人们好像就是在浪费生命，从周一早上仿佛就是混混度日等待着星期五晚上一样．

解答 50．B 考查对语境的理解．由it is nothing to offer可知此处表示的是从工作本身中是收获不到什么东西的，选B，gain表示收获，此处是用的被动语态，结构是be+动词的过去分词．
51．D 考查副词与对语境的理解．由What's important is not to do a job well可推测此处表示只是完成工作只图快，不图好，用副词quickly来修饰动词finish．
52．A 考查形容词与对语境的理解．由Either one job is followed by another和the job goes on and on forever可知工作是很无聊的，选A．
53．E 考查短语与对语境的理解．由Time is what the factory worker sells：not labour，not skill，but time可知此处表示的是从星期一早上开始，接下来的工作周就是用来等着周五的晚上这样度过，选E．
