【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 名词词汇 把握全文
根据“对______实行更严格的政策”的句意可知，所有选项都有可能正确。无法仅根据这一句话选出答案，这就需要联系上下文。本文标题为Attendance Policy(出勤规定)，后文又提到“一个月迟到两次以上的员工将被处以停职一天的处罚”，可知关于出勤的规定变得更加严格了。因此名词A. tardiness(迟到)是正确答案。B. confidentiality表示“机密”，C. Security表示“安全”，D. break表示“间歇”。
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[解析] 关系词的位置与用法
这句话中主语employees与空格前的动词will be obligated构成完整主句，“______ will be recorded in their employee evaluation”为修饰成分。因此，这里选择可引导修饰成分的关系代词D. which。代词A与C不能充当从句引导词，B. what引导名词性从句，也不能用在这里。
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 引导从句与引导分句的引导词不同
本句主要成分为“there are exceptions”，修饰成分为“______ late arrivals due to emergencies or bad weather conditions”，修饰成分中为名词词组，因此选择可以表示列举的词组C. such as(比如)。状语从句引导词A. so that表示“为了”，引导目的状语从句。B. but also要与not only搭配使用表示并列，通常构成not only A but also B的形式。D. in addition作为表示“另外，此外”意思的状语从句引导词时后面一般不直接接名词。作为参考，应知道in addition to(除……之外)后面可直接接名词。
