Answers:
1.選B)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。原文意思為會(huì)計(jì)部門...計(jì)算報(bào)酬，選項(xiàng)中的形容詞responsible負(fù)責(zé)任的，useful有用的，indirect間接的，successful成功的，其中indirect不能與for連用，排除;剩余幾項(xiàng)中只有B)responsible意義符合原句，其他均不符合，故排除。
2.選O)。此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞原形。本文主題就是采用一種新的工資和薪水制度時(shí)需要注意的問題，選項(xiàng)中的動(dòng)詞原形有compare比較，find找到，adopt采納，分別帶入原文，只有adopt最符合原文意思，故選O).
3.選H)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。從原文看，and連接并列結(jié)構(gòu)，所以要填的詞應(yīng)與and后面的ways意思一致，選項(xiàng)中的名詞只有mathod = ways，故選H)method。
4.選I)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。上文說新的工資制度需要一套決定工作評估和衡量雇員表現(xiàn)的方法，說的是制度是否有用的問題。這句說的時(shí)新的工資制度執(zhí)行過程中的問題，勞資雙方先期達(dá)成一致是薪酬制度成功的必要條件。形容詞useful和successful，I)seccessful更符合原文意思。
5.選D)。此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞。這個(gè)動(dòng)詞的賓語是point分值，把分值...起來to give a total value 得出總分值，選項(xiàng)中有added和combined，前者指把...相加，后者意為把...結(jié)合在一起，原文指將分值相加得出總分，故D)added最符合文意。
6.選M)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。首先solve problem解決問題是經(jīng)理們應(yīng)具備的能力，選項(xiàng)中的capacity與ability都可以表示能力前者強(qiáng)調(diào)的是理解的能力和接受事物的能力，而后者強(qiáng)調(diào)實(shí)際應(yīng)用的能力，故不難判斷解決問題的能力應(yīng)該用M)ability。
7.選F)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。前半句指出因?yàn)楣芾砉ぷ骱茈y評估，經(jīng)理的工作得分不需要參照基于分值的評估系統(tǒng)決定。without reference to為固定搭配，意思是與...無關(guān)。故選F)reference。
8.選A)。此處應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞原形。原句中出現(xiàn)了the value of each job每種工作的價(jià)值和these in the job market工作市場上的，說明人事部門通過比較兩種價(jià)值來計(jì)算工資制度。選項(xiàng)中只有compare表示比較，所以A)正確。
9.選K)。此處應(yīng)填副詞，修飾整句話。報(bào)酬要隨工作表現(xiàn)各方面的不同而有所改變，選項(xiàng)中Necessarily必須地與Basically基本地為副詞，分別帶入原文，報(bào)酬...的變化是必須的更符合上下文意思，故排除N),選K)。
10.選G)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。前文中提到一種情況即simple to measure the work done 易于評估的工作，通常用現(xiàn)金獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)辦法;而...measurement is difficult難于評估的，說明這些工作人員的工作不像手工工作那么直接，因而是間接的，故選項(xiàng)中只有G)indirect符合原句的意思。
