A growing number of family doctors are working fewer hours to avoid huge pension taxes, _________ already overworked surgeries are making fewer appointments for patients.

A.to mean B.meant C.meaning D.having meant

 

C 【解析】 考查非谓语动词。句意:越来越多的家庭医生正在减少工作时间,以避免缴纳巨额养老金税,这意味着已经超负荷运转的外科医生为病人提供的预约服务减少了。这句话中已经有谓语动词are working,所以这里的mean要以非谓语形式出现。然后mean和家庭医生工作时间变短是主动关系而且是同时发生,所以是现在分词meaning作伴随状语。故此题选C。
