问题     To get a sense of how women have progressed in science, take a quick tour of the physics department at the University of California, Berkeley. This is a storied place, the【C1】______ of some of the most important discoveries in modern science-starting with Ernest Lawrence’ s invention of the cyclotron(回旋加速器) in 1931: A generation ago, female faces were【C2】______ and, even today, visitors walking through the first floor of LeConte Hall will see a full corridor of exhibits【C3】______ the many distinguished physicists who made history here,【C4】______ all of them white males.
    But climb up to the third floor and you’ll see a【C5】______ display. There, among the photos
of current faculty members and students, are portraits of the【C6】______ head of the department,
Marjorie Shapiro, and four other women whose research【C7】______ everything from the mechanics of the universe to the smallest particles of matter. A sixth woman was hired just two weeks ago. Although they’re still only about 10 percent of the physics faculty, women are clearly a presence here. And the real【C8】______ may be in the smaller photos to the right; graduate and undergraduate students, about 20 percent of them female. Every year Berkeley sends its fresh female physics PhDs to the country’ s top universities.. That makes Shapiro optimistic, but also【C9】______ " I believe things are getting better," she says, "but they’ re not getting better as【C10】______ as I would like."
[A] circumstance [B] confidence
[C] covers [D] current
[E] deals [F] different
[G] exposing [H] fast
[I] honoring [J] hope
[K] presently [L] rare
[M] realistic [N] site
[O] virtually
【C9】
选项
答案M
解析 but提示所填词与optimistic平行并列，剩余选项中恰好M项realistic(现实的)符合，意思是：夏皮罗感到很乐观，同时也很现实。
