It is a shift toward 【C1】______ employees with unhealthy lifestyles【C2】______ rewarding good habits. Such policies that【C3】______ financial penalties on employees have doubled in the last two years to 19 percent of 248 major American employers recently【C4】______.
【C5】______, another survey【C6】______ on Wednesday showed that about a third of employers with 500 or more workers were trying to【C7】______ them into wellness programs by offering【C8】______ incentives, like discounts on their insurance.【C9】______, companies including Home Depot, PepsiCo, Safeway, Lowe’s and General Mills have defended decisions to seek higher premiums from some workers, like Wal-Mart’s recent addition of a $2 ,000-a-year surcharge for some smokers. Many point to the higher health care costs 【C10】______ with smoking or obesity. Some even describe the charges and 【C11】______ as a " more stick, less carrot"【C12】______ to get workers to take more【C13】______ for their well-being.

选项
A、released
B、showed
C、announced
D、came
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。根据第5题句意可知,此处指“公布的,发布的”,且和survey构成动宾关系。[A]released“发布,发行,公布”,release a survey“公布一项调查”符合句意,故答案为[A]。[B]showed“显示,展示”,与survey搭配使用时,一般用法是a survey showed that…,而不用于被动语态;[C]announced“宣布,公布”,多用来指公布结果;[D]came“到来”,不符合上下文语境。
