问题 According to the passage, the most serious consequence of baby-boomers approaching retirement would be______. [br] "The company spends ’a lot of time’ on the ergonomics of its factories"(Paragraph Seven) means that______.
选项 A、the company attaches great importance to the layout of its factories
B、the company improves the working conditions in its factories
C、the company attempts to reduce production costs of its factories
D、the company intends to renovate its factories and update equipment
答案 B
解析 本题出自第7段中的最后一句，目的是考查根据上下文推测ergonomics一词意义的能力。根据后面的作结果状语的现在分词短语"making jobs there less tiring"以及后面的分句"which enables older workers to stay at them for longer"。可以推断出ergonomics应该是指为了使工作不再枯燥，而对工作环境进行的改造或改善，所以B为正确答案。而A选项只提及了"the layout of its factories"的重要，而未指出对layout所作的改进(improvement)，可以排除；选项D则强调改造工厂和更新设备，但未必能"making jobs there less tiring"，因此可以排除。选项C更是与"making jobs there less tiring"的结果无关，甚至在某种意义上背道而驰，可以排除。
