参考答案

参考解析
解析:
推断题。既然题干中提到“Enron职工的悲惨命运将是商业史上标志性的事件”,可见此事对整个商界产生了巨大的影响。公司的破产或员工失去退休积蓄并不会对整个商界产生影响,而是其产生的影响构成了标志性事件,排除A、C项。文中并未提及这种事情将不再发生,B项说法过于绝对,故排除。从文章第二段可知,20世纪的一个audacious promise就是经济安全:政府的福利制度、劳工组织的保障、以及大企业财团的产生,让职工们普遍认为他们的工作是终身的,并且退休后肯定也有退休金。然而,从第三段开始,作者指出了这个保险体系的decline,以及由此引发的一系列政府、企业等政策的改变,进而最终导致的职工们一无所有的惨状。因此可以说这次事件体现了经济安全方面的转变。故D项符合。
