[G] female [H] fill
[I] occupations [J] occurring
[K] positions [L] primary
[M] recession [N] regularly

【C6】
选项
答案K
解析 空格前是两个并列的形容词managerial和professional，此处需要填入名词形式，前文提到jobs，此处应填入和工作相关的名词。选项中的occupations和positions都和工作相关，occupations意为“职业”，positions意为“位置，职位”，联系空格前的形容词，“管理岗位”、“专业技术职位”更符合表达习惯，故选择positions。备选项中conflict意为“冲突，矛盾，斗争”，recession意为“衰退，不景气”，均不能与managerial和professional搭配，可排除。
