H) 应该填入名词，充当lose的宾语。enthusiasm"热情，激情"。

37.

L) 应该填入动词原形。根据句意可知，如果管理者没有认可员工的杰出表现，员工很可能跳槽到其他公司，其目的当然是希望出色的表现能够获得相应回报。因此，此处填入reward 符合句意和形式上的要求。

38.

I) 应该填入动词原形。下文具体介绍了员工们表现不佳的各种原因，根据逻辑关系可知，本句中要表达的意思应该为： 管理者必须"找出"或"确定"员工表现不佳的原因。由此确定空格处应该填入identify"确定， 识别"。

39.

J) 应该填入名词。根据上下文可知，此处应指家庭成员生病之类的原因会对员工的表现产生短暂的负面影响。impact符合句意要求。而且能够构成固定短语have an impact on，由此确定空格处应该填人impact"影响"。

40.

A) 应该填入形容词。根据下文知，下文介绍了管理者采取的后续措施，因此推测本句的句意为：管理者必须决定是否需要采取进一步的措施。additional"额外的"符合句意，故为本题的答案。备选项里还有consistent和vulnerable两个形容词。但均与上下文语意不符，故可以排除。

41.

F) 应该填入副词，修饰动词monitor，根据上文可知，负面评价能够指出员工们必须纠正的不足，这样的话，管理者可能只需要严密监督这些员工，以便确保他们能够纠正不足。monitor closely"严密监督"，更符合句意，故确定closely为本题的答案。

42.

G) 填入形容词，be consistent with"与……保持一致"符合句意，即采取的措施应该与公司的方针保持一致，所以确定本题的答案为consistent"—致的，相符的"。

43.

N) 应该填入名词。根据上下文可知，对于那些不能或者不愿意纠正自身不足的员工，需要采取进一步的措施，包括重新分配工作，甚至解聘。suspending有"停职"的意思，与其他两项措施语意一致。由此确定为本题的答案。

44.

B) 应该填入动词原形。备选项中可能正确的动词是affect"影响，干扰"和assimilate"吸收；同化"。将affect填入空格，意思为“影响其他员工的态度”，符合句意，所以确定为本题答案。

45.

K) 应该填入名词。penalty的意思为"惩罚，处罚"，能够和 impose搭配构成固定短语impose penalty on "对……进行惩罚"，符合句意要求。
