However, working from home can fail to motivate remote workers in the same way as a/an

【解析】

試題分析：文章大意：遠(yuǎn)程工作給公司員工帶來(lái)了很多的方便，但也有其弊端。

1.B 考查動(dòng)詞辨析A. testing測(cè)試；B. destroying破壞；C. keeping保存；D. assessing評(píng)估；根據(jù)文意應(yīng)為正是能夠從家里工作這樣的技術(shù)會(huì)毀壞你公司的價(jià)值。

2.A考查副詞辨析。A. effectively有效地；B. normally正常地；C. formally正式地；D. separately分離地。雖然在短期內(nèi)可能會(huì)增加生產(chǎn)力，在家中的工作可能會(huì)阻止您的團(tuán)隊(duì)有效地工作。因此，此題答案選擇A選項(xiàng)。

3.C    考查形容詞辨析。A. attentive注意的；B. talkative          健談的；C. productive有成效的；D. sensitive敏感的。雖然遠(yuǎn)程工作人員的確可能更快樂(lè)，更無(wú)憂無(wú)慮的和多產(chǎn)的。因此，答案選擇C選項(xiàng)。

4.B 考查名詞辨析。A. workers工人；B. companies公司；C. health健康；D. family家庭。根據(jù)前后句多次提及到company，可以得出答案。但并不意味著對(duì)其公司好。因此，答案選擇B選項(xiàng)。

5.D 考查名詞辨析。A. leader領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者；B. rule法則；C. party聚會(huì)；D. culture文化。一個(gè)健康的組織有一個(gè)允許共享的價(jià)值觀念和思想的文化。答案選擇D選項(xiàng)。

6.A 考查短語(yǔ)固定搭配。這里考查短語(yǔ)the sense of competitive spirit競(jìng)爭(zhēng)意識(shí)感。其競(jìng)爭(zhēng)意識(shí)感使得公司更加靈活和具有創(chuàng)造性。因此，此題選擇A選項(xiàng)。

7.D 考查形容詞辨析。A. independent獨(dú)立的；B. different不同的；C. special特殊的；D. shared共享的。然而，在家中的工作不能夠激勵(lì)遠(yuǎn)程工作人員，以相同的方式共享公司的環(huán)境。

8.C上下文連串。根據(jù)后文中的despite the increases in productivity and happiness that come with teleworking可知這里指公司遭受損失。因此，正確答案為C。

9.B 考查形容詞辨析。A. official官方的；B. regular定期的；C. required要求的；D. planned計(jì)劃的。在工作環(huán)境里，同事交往，有定期的午餐聊天，可以獲取一些真正的學(xué)習(xí)。因此，答案選B。

10.A考查動(dòng)詞。exchange information交換信息。大量的信息進(jìn)行交換，使得其相同的工人增加他們對(duì)組織的價(jià)值。答案為A。

11.C 考查名詞辨析。A. availability有效；B. damage損害；C. value價(jià)值；D. disappointment失望；這里指里工人增加他們對(duì)組織的價(jià)值；因此，答案為C。

12.B考查形容詞。A. reasonable合理的；B. magical神奇的；C. psychological心理學(xué)的；D. typical典型的�；ㄙM(fèi)時(shí)間在一起是一件神奇的事情。

13.A 考查短語(yǔ)固定搭配。這里考查固定短語(yǔ)discuss idea討論想法�；ㄙM(fèi)時(shí)間共享午餐，討論想法。因此答案為A。

14.C考查動(dòng)詞辨析。A. varies改變；B. differs         不同；C. accelerates加速；D. stops阻止；隨著技術(shù)變革的加快和市場(chǎng)壓力增加，公司需要變得更靈活、 更有創(chuàng)意。答案為C。

15.D 考查名詞辨析。A. place地方；B. house家；C. distance遠(yuǎn)處；D. office辦公室；聽(tīng)起來(lái)很奇怪，使遠(yuǎn)程工作真正選擇的技術(shù)現(xiàn)在要求工人留在辦公室。
