正確答案:D

答案解析:本題問(wèn)“人們能否迅速地適應(yīng)晚上工作為什么不再是一個(gè)純學(xué)術(shù)問(wèn)題”，要求考生按照文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行推斷。文章說(shuō)到，自動(dòng)化生產(chǎn)要求機(jī)器24小時(shí)不停地工作，工人也要分3班晝夜輪流工作，因而人們?cè)O(shè)法適應(yīng)這種情況是實(shí)際生活的需要。因此選項(xiàng)D是答案。選項(xiàng)C只是說(shuō)在某些行業(yè)要上夜班，并未提及倒班，不是本題問(wèn)及的內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)A和選項(xiàng)B與文章內(nèi)容沒(méi)有聯(lián)系。
