问题    Trust is fundamental to life. If you can’t trust anything, life becomes intolerable. You can’t have relationships without trust, let alone good ones.
   In the workplace, too, trust is【C1】______ .An organization without trust will be full of fear and【C2】______ .If you work for a boss who doesn’t trust their employees to do things right, you’ll have a【C3】______ time. They’ll be checking up on you all the time, correcting "mistakes" and【C4】______ reminding you to do this or that. Colleagues who don’t trust one another will need to spend more time【C5】______ their backs than doing any useful work.
   Organizations are always trying to cut costs. Think of all the additional tasks caused by lack of trust. Audit (审计) departments only exist because of it. Companies keep large volumes of【C6】______ because they don’t trust their suppliers, their contractors or their customers. Probably more than half of all administrative work is only there because of an ever-existing sense that "you can’t trust anyone these days." If even a small part of such valueless work could be【C7】______ , the savings would run into millions of dollars.
   All this is extra work we【C8】______ onto ourselves because we don’t trust people—the checking, following through, doing things ourselves because we don’t believe others will do them【C9】______ —or at all. If we took all that away, how much extra time would we suddenly find in our life? How much of our work【C10】______ would disappear?
   A) constantly F) load K) removed
   B) credible G) miserable L) stacks
   C) essential H) pressure M) suspicion
   D) exploring I) properly N) tracked
   E) gather J) records O) watching [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 O
解析 [语法判断]本空位于spend more time之后，符合spend time doing sth，结构，因此应填入v．-ing形式。[语义判断]根据句意并结合常识可知，如果同事之间缺少信任，那么他们就要防范别人在背后暗算，而watch one’s back是个固定搭配，意为“小心背后(因可能有人暗算)”，符合句意，故本题答案为O)watching。而另一个备选的v．-ing形式exploring与their backs搭配讲不通，因此排除。
