问题     People have been holding heated discussions recently about women’s experience in the workplace. Last month Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer at Face-book, published "Lean In", a【C1】________declaration on why women have not【C2】________to the most senior positions at companies. She concludes that it is partly women’s own【C3】________: they do not "lean in" and ask for promotions,【C4】________at meetings and insist on taking a seat at the table. Another new book will not have the same impact as "Lean In", but it offers some interesting new【C5】________on how women are coping at work, and what is holding them【C6】________.
    Some of it is down to simple miscommunication. Barbara Annis and John Gray argue in "Work With Me" that men and women are biologically wired to think and react【C7】________to situations, and have "gender blind spots" when it comes to understanding their co-workers’ behavior. Ms Annis, who leads workshops on gender for big companies and governments, and Mr. Gray, author of "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus", have【C8】________to produce an easy-to-read guide to work place communications. Women ask more questions,【C9】________more people’s opinions and seek collaboration with coworkers more frequently than men. Men view these preferences as【C10】________of weakness, and women, in turn, grow【C11】________by how competitively men work, and how quickly they arrive【C12】________conclusions by themselves.
    【C13】________both female and male employees became more "gender【C14】________" about how their work and behavioral preferences are hard-wired, it would contribute to a more harmonious workforce. Women have been choosing to leave companies at twice the【C15】________of men, and more than half the women whom the authors met in workshops were considering leaving their【C16】________. Women often tell their bosses that they are【C17】________for personal reasons, but the majority actually leave because they feel【C18】________teams and not valued for their contributions. Yet the【C19】________is that women often have trouble communicating with other women at work as well,【C20】________the authors do not explain in quite as much detail why this is so.
【C4】
选项 A、dress up
B、show up
C、pipe up
D、shut up
答案C
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。A项dress up“打扮”，“在会议上打扮”不合理。B项show up“出现”，根据常识可知，员工是必须按要求参加相应的会议的，该选项代入后不符合常理。D项shut up“闭嘴”，代入后意为“她们在会议上从不闭嘴”。也就是一直在发言，不合常理。
