问题 The Hyper Steel Corporation announced on Monday that it plans to close a Dutch factory and to reduce a British operation, leading to the loss of 1,400 jobs. The moves are designed to " improve Hyper Steel’s cost structure" following rapid growth through acquisitions, Mr. William Keating, a spokesperson for the company, said in a statement. The Dutch plant, in southern Breda, will see its production transferred to Belgian plants and another Dutch plant in the city of Eindhoven. The phaseout is expected to take 24 months. Some 845 jobs will be cut there, and the British plant affected is in Manchester, where 555 jobs will be cut. Some production will be moved to other British plants in Liverpool and Preston. The Manchester plant will stay open to produce steel.
What will happen to the company in two years?
选项 A、About 1,400 people will be laid off in England.
B、One of its plants in the Netherlands will stop operating.
C、The steel industry will recover from the current depression.
D、The plant in Manchester will discontinue production.
答案B
解析 问2年后Hyper Steel公司会发生的事。要以报道中提出2年后的具体时间的部分为中心了解线索。报道的中间部分说，“The Dutch plant，in southern Breda，will see its production transferred to Belgian plants and another Dutch plant in the city of Eindhoven．The phaseout is expected to take 24 months．”荷兰布雷达南部地区的工厂将分阶段关闭，计划完整的拆迁需要24个月，由此可知2年后荷兰布雷达工厂的运转将会停止，因此正确答案是(B)。
