【C5】______, another survey【C6】______ on Wednesday showed that about a third of employers with 500 or more workers were trying to【C7】______ them into wellness programs by offering【C8】______ incentives, like discounts on their insurance.【C9】______, companies including Home Depot, PepsiCo, Safeway, Lowe’s and General Mills have defended decisions to seek higher premiums from some workers, like Wal-Mart’s recent addition of a $2 ,000-a-year surcharge for some smokers.

选项
A、In fact
B、In addition
C、In general
D、In total
答案
B
解析
逻辑关系题。本句句意为:除此之外,周三公布的另一项调查显示,在拥有500人及以上员工的雇主中,有三分之一的雇主正诱使员工参与到财政激励机制的健康计划中。本题考查上下文的逻辑关系,上一段中提到调查所显示的结果,本段提示another survey,所以可以看出此处是递进关系,四个选项中能够表达递进关系的是[B]In addition“另外,除此之外”。[A]In fact“事实上”;[C]In general“总之,一般而言”;[D]In total“总计”,均不符合上下文语境,故排除。
