问题    Women with low literacy suffer disproportionately more than men, encountering more【C6】________in finding a well-paying job and being twice as likely to end up in the group of lowest wage earners, a study released on Wednesday said.
   Analysis by the Institute for Women’ s Policy Research(IWPR)found women at all levels of【C7】______tend to earn less than men, but it’ s at the lowest literacy levels that the wage gap between genders is most【C8】______
   Women with low literacy are twice as likely as men at the same skill level to be among the lowest earners, bringing in $300 a week or less, the report said.
   " Because women start off so low in terms of wages, having higher literacy and more skills really【C9】______a big difference," said Kevin Miller, a【C10】______research associate at IWPR and co-author of the study.
   Women need to go【C11】______in their training and education level to earn the same as men, Miller said.
   The【C12】______was based on 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy surveys, the most recent data【C13】______, and focused on reading skills, not writing and numeric literacy. That data was【C14】______from a nationally representative sample of 19,714 people aged 16 and older, living in households or prisons.

   [A]pattern[B]independent[C]makes
   [D]difficulties[E]collected[F]conducted

【C14】
选项
答案E
解析 通过此处的分析句子结构，结合空格前的That data was和空格后的from anationally representative sample可知，空格处应填入过去分词，构成被动语态。collected“收集”和conducted“实施；引导；执行”都是过去分词形式，但collected最符合文意，意为“该报告收集了来自全国具有代表性的19714人的数据……”，故E为正确答案。
