问题     Who talks more, women or men? The seemingly contradictory evidence is【C1】______by the difference what I call public and private speaking. More men feel comfortable doing public speaking,【C2】______more women feel comfortable doing 【C3】______ speaking. Another way of【C4】______these differences is by using the【C5】______"report talk" and "rapport(友好的)talk".
    For most women, the language of conversations is【C6】______a language of rapport: a way of establishing connections and【C7】______relationships. Emphasis is【C8】______on displaying similarities and【C9】______experiences. From childhood, girls criticize peers who try to stand【C10】______or appear better than others. People feel their closest connections at home, or in setting where they feel at home — with one or a few people they feel close【C11】______and comfortable about — in other words, during private speaking.【C12】______even the most public situations can be approached like private speaking.
    For most men, talk is primarily a means to【C13】______independence and negotiate and【C14】______status in a hierarchical social order. This is done by exhibiting knowledge and skill, and by【C15】______center stage through verbal performance such as story-telling, joking, or【C16】______information. From childhood, men learn to use talking as a way to get and keep【C17】______. So they are more【C18】______speaking in larger groups made up of people they know less well, in the broadest【C19】______"public speaking". But even the most private situations can be approached like public speaking, more like giving a report than【C20】______rapport.
【C15】
选项 A、exhibiting
B、holding
C、standing
D、playing
答案B
解析 语义衔接题。能与center stage搭配使用的只有[B]holding和[C]standing，但stand作“站立”讲时，为不及物动词，故排除，故答案为[B]holding。
