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】______.

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、impact
B、impress
C、impose
D、import
答案
C
解析
动词辨析题。句意为:这些旨在对员_丁进行经济惩罚的政策在过去两年中成倍增长。根据上下文语境,这里应该指的是施加在员工身上的,且同时要考虑固定搭配后面的介词on。此处能与介词on搭配的是[A]impact和[C]impose,前者指“冲击,影响”,后者指“施加,加于……之上”,用法为imposesth.on sb.,所以[C]impose为答案。[B]impress为及物动词,后面直接跟宾语,意为“留下印象”。[D]import“进口”,用法为:import sth.from/into…。
