30、 other women at work as well,【C20】_the authors do not explain in quite as much detail why this is so.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.controversial B.perplexingC.distractingD.ambiguous解析：解析：上句指出女性的职场工作经验引发了人们的热议(heated discussions)，空格所在句子表明向前一步一书这是一部怎样的宣言(declaration)。此句与上句之间没有转折连词，可知空格所在部分表示的意思和上文一致。A
31、项 controversial“有争议的”与 heated discussion 对应，是正确答案。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.descendedB.promotedC.ascended D.improved解析：解析：此空格需填入谓语动词，其宾语是“最高级职位”(the most senior positions)。下一句总结(concludes)本句，说明女性 do not“lean in”and ask for promotions。因此应指职位晋升，C项 ascended 指“(地位等的)提高”，符合语义及搭配。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.fault B.willC
32、.troubleD.duty解析：解析：本句冒号后的内容是对前半句的解释：她们没有“向前一步”，不要求晋升。A 项fault“过错”，总结了冒号后的原因。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.dress upB.show upC.pipe up D.shut up解析：解析：此句的主语是 they，谓语部分的助动词是 do not，状语为 at meetings。C 项 pipe up 指“大声说话”，在这里指在女性不在会议上发言，符合语境。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.conceptsB.theoriesC.effectsD.perspectives 解析：解析：此空格需填入名词作宾
33、语，其补足语是 how women are coping at work。该书的作者就这个问题提出了自己的看法，D 项 perspectives“视角，观点”正确。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.back B.outC.onD.off解析：解析：本段提到女性没有“向前一步”，不要求晋升，也不坚持自己在公司里拥有一席之地等。因此空格应填入与这些问题相对应的词。A 项 hold back 表示“抑制；阻挡”，意为“是什么绊住了女性”，与 lead in 意义相反。符合语义逻辑。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.broadlyB.differently C.identicallyD.par
34、tly解析：解析：这里需要填入一个副词来修饰男性和女性对不同情况的思考反应。根据上文提到biologically(天生)与下文的 gender blind spots(性别盲点)可推断出，男人和女人对不同情况的思考和反应不相同。B 项 differently“不同地”符合语义逻辑。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.constructedB.correlatedC.coordinatedD.collaborated 解析：解析：本句主语为 Ms Annis 和 MrGray，其宾语为 an easy-to-read guide(一本通俗易懂的指南)。D 项 collaborated 意为“(
35、尤指在文艺、科学等方面)合作；合著；协作”，符合语义逻辑。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.reviseB.respectC.supportD.gather 解析：解析：空格需要填入能与前后并列、与沟通有关，且能与 opinions 搭配的谓语动词，故选 D 项gather“收集”，表示女性会收集更多人的意见。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.signalsB.stimuliC.signs D.messages解析：解析：本句说明男性把这些偏好看作是弱点(weakness)，该词为抽象名词，而女性的这些特点是具体表现，因此 C 项 signs 为答案，可指某种情况的征兆，signs
36、 of weakness 表示“软弱的标志”。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.indifferentB.annoyed C.delightedD.irritated解析：解析：上文提到女性更常寻求与同事合作(seek collaboration)，男性对此持消极态度。反过来，女性认为男性工作中非常好胜(competitively)，带有否定意义。空格需填入表明女性的态度的形容词作表语，B 项 annoyed“反感的”符合语义逻辑。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.at B.inC.onD.from解析：解析：本句说明男性与之相反的特点，即快速地得出结论。arrive at 表
37、示“达成(决议、决定等)；得出(结论)”，故选 A 项 at。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.MeanwhileB.AlthoughC.If D.Moreover解析：解析：从句指出男女员工要应对因性别差异而导致的行为偏好(behavioral preferences)，主句表明他们的职场就会更加和谐(more harmonious)。从逻辑上判断该从句应是条件状语从句。另外从句的谓语动词是 became，主句的谓语动词是 would contribute，由此可判断这是虚拟语气中表示与现在事实相反的情况句式，选 C 项 If。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.fortuna
38、teB.intelligent C.differentD.witless解析：解析：上文提到了男性跟女性在工作中有不同的偏好。本句要讨论的问题是：男女员工要如何面对固有的工作与行为的偏好，才能让他们在职场上更加和谐?此处应填入一个有肯定意义的形容词。B 项intelligent“聪明的”，gender intelligent 意为“聪明地应对性别差异”，符合语义逻辑。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.amountB.rationC.rate D.interest解析：解析：本句涉及男性和女性的离职人数比较，出现了两个表示比较的词语 twice、more than half。因此所填入的
39、词语必须能体现两者之间的比较，并且能和空格前的介词 at 搭配，所以选择 C 项rate“比率”。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.childrenB.firms C.bossesD.tasks解析：解析：上半句提到部分女性已经选择了离开公司(choosing to leave companies)，本句的语境是：在职场上，有女性中还有一半以上正考虑离开，此空格需要填入 leaving 的宾语。B 项 firms“公司”与上半句的 companies 意思一致。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.quitting B.pausingC.perseveringD.dismissin
40、g解析：解析：空格后的 for personal reasons 表明了女性离开公司的原因。离开公司意味着“辞职”。选 A 项 quitting“辞职”。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.honorable inB.embarrassed forC.familiar withD.excluded from 解析：解析：空格后的 team 表明大多数女性离职的一个原因跟团队有关，因此填入的词语应与人际关系有关联。D 项 excluded from 代入句子表示“在团队中受到排挤”，符合语义逻辑。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.phenomenonB.dilemmaC.reali
41、ty D.evidence解析：解析：上文提及女性辞职的原因(在团队中受到排挤)，本句表转折的 Yet“然而”后指出另一种情况：女性与同性之间也存在沟通困难，这也是一种现实情况。C 项 reality“现实”，侧重指某事物的客观存在的真实性。符合语义。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.furthermoreB.though C.ifD.since解析：解析：上半句提到女性在工作中与其他同性也存在沟通困难，作为职场沟通指南的书籍理应做出分析，然而下半句指出：作者并未详细解释为何如此，因此空格处应填入表示语义转折的连词。B 项though“虽然，尽管”正确。The average Brit
