Some observers have attributed the dramatic growth in temporary employment that occurred in the United States during the 1980’s to increased partici- pation in the workforce by certain groups, such as first-time or reentering workers, who supposedly prefer such arrangements. However, statistical analyses reveal that demographic changes in the workforce did not correlate with variations in the total number of temporary workers. Instead, these analyses suggest that factors affecting employers account for the rise in tempo- rary employment. One factor is product demand: temporary employment is favored by employers who are adapting to fluctuating demand for products while at the same time seeking to reduce overall labor costs. Another factor is labor’s reduced bargaining strength, which allows employers more control over the terms of employment. Given the analyses, which reveal that growth in temporary employment now far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of groups said to prefer temporary jobs, firms should be discouraged from creating excessive numbers of temporary positions. Government policymakers should consider mandating benefit coverage for temporary employees, promoting pay equity between temporary and permanent workers, assisting labor unions in organizing temporary workers, and encouraging firms to assign temporary jobs primarily to employees who explicitly indicate that preference.
In the context of the passage, the word "excessive"(line 29)most closely corresponds to which of the following phrases?
选项
A、Far more than can be justified by worker preferences.
B、Far more than can be explained by fluctuations in product demand.
C、Far more than can be beneficial to the success of the firms themselves.
D、Far more than can be accounted for by an expanding national economy.
E、Far more than can be attributed to increases in the total number of people in the workforce.
答案
A
解析
L29的“excessive”指的是:A.正确。比工人所需要多得多。作者警告企业,目前所提供的临时工作已远远超过工人真正喜好此工作的数目。B、C、D、E都和原文此处叙述无关。
