　　adopt

　　【答案】

　　1.选B)。此处应填形容词。原文意思为会计部门...计算报酬，选项中的形容词responsible负责任的，useful有用的，indirect间接的，successful成功的，其中indirect不能与for连用，排除;剩余几项中只有B)responsible意义符合原句，其他均不符合，故排除。

　　2.选O)。此处应填动词原形。本文主题就是采用一种新的工资和薪水制度时需要注意的问题，选项中的动词原形有compare比较，find找到，adopt采纳，分别带入原文，只有adopt最符合原文意思，故选O)。

　　3.选H)。此处应填名词。从原文看，and连接并列结构，所以要填的词应与and后面的ways意思一致，选项中的名词只有mathod = ways，故选H)method。

　　4.选I)。此处应填形容词。上文说新的工资制度需要一套决定工作评估和衡量雇员表现的方法，说的是制度是否有用的问题。这句说的时新的工资制度执行过程中的问题，劳资双方先期达成一致是薪酬制度成功的必要条件。形容词useful和successful，I)seccessful更符合原文意思。

　　5.选D)。此处应填动词。这个动词的宾语是point分值，把分值...起来to give a total value 得出总分值，选项中有added和combined，前者指把...相加，后者意为把...结合在一起，原文指将分值相加得出总分，故D)added最符合文意。

　　6.选M)。此处应填名词。首先solve problem解决问题是经理们应具备的能力，选项中的capacity与ability都可以表示能力前者强调的是理解的能力和接受事物的能力，而后者强调实际应用的能力，故不难判断解决问题的能力应该用M)ability。

　　7.选F)。此处应填名词。前半句指出因为管理工作很难评估，经理的工作得分不需要参照基于分值的评估系统决定。without reference to为固定搭配，意思是与...无关。故选F)reference.

　　8.选A)。此处应填动词原形。原句中出现了the value of each job每种工作的价值和these in the job market工作市场上的，说明人事部门通过比较两种价值来计算工资制度。选项中只有compare表示比较，所以A)正确。

　　9.选K)。此处应填副词，修饰整句话。报酬要随工作表现各方面的不同而有所改变，选项中Necessarily必须地与Basically基本地为副词，分别带入原文，报酬...的变化是必须的更符合上下文意思，故排除N),选K)。

　　10.选G)。此处应填形容词。前文中提到一种情况即simple to measure the work done 易于评估的工作，通常用现金奖励办法;而...measurement is difficult难于评估的，说明这些工作人员的工作不像手工工作那么直接，因而是间接的，故选项中只有G)indirect符合原句的意思。
