2026 考研英语易错题：因果逻辑关系辨析
阅读以下段落，回答问题：
The shift toward remote work has transformed workplace dynamics in recent years. Companies initially adopted flexible policies to maintain operations during global disruptions, but many have since embraced permanent remote options. This transition has reduced overhead costs for office space and utilities, while employees report higher job satisfaction due to eliminated commutes and improved work-life balance. However, managers often cite challenges in team collaboration and maintaining company culture, which they attribute to the lack of face-to-face interactions. Notably, productivity metrics show mixed results—while some roles thrive in remote settings, others suffer from communication delays and reduced oversight.
The passage suggests that the adoption of permanent remote work policies is primarily caused by:
A. The desire to reduce office operational costs
B. Initial responses to global disruptions
C. Improved employee job satisfaction levels
D. Advances in remote collaboration technologies
解析：
本题考查对段落中因果关系的精准判断，需区分 “初始原因” 与 “后续影响” 的逻辑差异。
- 原文明确提到 “Companies initially adopted flexible policies to maintain operations during global disruptions, but many have since embraced permanent remote options”，其中 “initially adopted… but many have since embraced” 表明永久远程政策的采用源于最初为应对全球危机而采取的临时措施，后续才转为长期政策。
- 选项 B “Initial responses to global disruptions”（对全球危机的初始应对）符合这一因果逻辑，是政策转变的源头。
- 干扰项 A（降低运营成本）和 C（提升员工满意度）是远程工作带来的 “后续结果” 而非 “主要原因”；D（协作技术进步）在文中未提及，属于无中生有。解题关键在于识别 “初始动机” 与 “衍生效果” 的区别，避免混淆因果顺序。
答案：B
