问题     It’s not just lonely at the top; it can be "disengaging" too. Many of the most unhappy, unproductive and potentially【B1】______employees can be found in the executive suite. These top dogs may put in the 【B2】______, but not the heart. They are common to most companies and number 【B3】______ the thousands.
    That may come as a surprise to the rank and file. 【B4】______ , one of the first rules of success is to do what you enjoy. It’s taken for【B5】______that top executives have found the magic, 【B6】______ surely they would have flamed out【B7】______short of the summit. But if executives are so【B8】______to their jobs, why would a 2002 Starwood Hotels & Resorts survey find that among 401 executives who play golf, 10% have called 【B9】______ sick to play a round? While it may make sense that lower-ranking workers are less likely to be engaged, many high-ranking executives are in the same 【B10】______. For example, 49% of top executives are engaged, vs. 43% of managers and 32% of non-managers. Striking is【B11】______ 9 % of top executives, nearly one in 10, are【B12】______disengaged. These executives are beyond the point of even going through the【B13】______. It can【B14】______the entire company, because companies with disengaged executives are likely to have disengaged employees【B15】______.
    Most people probably assume that big paychecks are enough【B16】______. But raises and pay scales don’t matter much【B17】______way, according to several studies. It shows no 【B18】______ between CEO pay and engagement, or even CEO pay and company 【B19】______. Big paychecks may even make executives feel【B20】______in their jobs, because they can’t try something else without sacrificing a small fortune.
【B14】
选项 A、undermine
B、humiliate
C、distress
D、subordinate
答案A
解析 考查动词辨析。空格处所填入的动词应表示高层管理者懒得敷衍的行为对整个公司产生的影响。根据后半句——“拥有不投入管理的公司，员工也会心不在焉”可知，上述高层的行为会损害公司。因此A．undermine“破坏，削弱”符合文意，为正确答案。humiliate“羞辱”；distress“使悲痛”，常接人作宾语；subordinate“使从属于”，均不符合题意。
