选项
答案ANY
解析 本句的考查点有难度。可能有的考生会问，为什么这句话“fewer women make it into the workforce than in any other European countries”中的any是多余的呢?英语中不是有如“He is taller than any other boy in his class．”这样的表达吗?的确，我们可以用“…than(in)any other…”这种形式，但需提醒的是这种结构表述的意思及准确构成形式。第一，该结构表示的是最高级意思，刚才的例句相当于“He is thetallest boy in his class．”但是我们从该段的上下文中无法得知作者是否认为西班牙妇女的就业率在所有欧洲国家中是最低的。第二，该结构中any other之后的名词必须使用单数形式，所以如果作者想表明“西班牙妇女的就业率比其他任何一个欧洲国家都低”，其正确的形式应该是“fewer women make it into the workforce than in any other European country”，但是这里作者用的是European countries，为复数名词，所以我们可以确定作者并没有用…than(in)any other…结构来表示最高级的意图，只是一般的比较级形式，因此any为多余。
