解析
本题考查词汇辨析,解题思路是根据句子的逻辑关系,分析每个选项的含义,看哪个选项能使句子语义通顺合理。
- 首先分析句子 “If no ____ is imposed on an employee for poor performance, other employees may react by reducing their productivity as well.” 的意思,即如果对表现不佳的员工不施加某种东西,其他员工可能也会通过降低生产力来做出反应。
- 接着看选项:
- A选项 “guarantee” 意为“保证;担保”,如果不对表现不佳的员工施加保证,这在逻辑上与其他员工降低生产力没有直接关联,所以A选项不符合。
- B选项 “penalty” 意为“惩罚;处罚”,如果不对表现不佳的员工施加惩罚,其他员工可能会觉得不公平,从而也降低自己的生产力,这符合句子的逻辑关系,所以B选项正确。
- C选项 “praise” 意为“赞扬;表扬”,不对表现不佳的员工施加赞扬,这并不能直接导致其他员工降低生产力,所以C选项不符合。
- D选项 “thrive” 意为“繁荣;兴旺;茁壮成长”,它是一个动词,而此处需要一个名词,所以D选项不符合。
