Seven of the 18 women who are【C2】______ CEOs of Fortune 500 companies—including Xerox’ s Ursula Burns and PepsiCo’ s Indra Nooyi—have, or at some point have had, a stay at home husband. So do scores of【C3】______ CEOs of smaller companies and women in other senior executive jobs.
This role change is【C4】______ more and more as women edge past men at work. Women now【C5】______ a majority of jobs in the US, including 51.4 percent of managerial and professional【C6】______, according to US Census Bureau data. Some 23 percent of wives now earn more than their husbands. And this earnings trend is more dramatic among younger people.

[A] appealing [B] average
[C] conflict [D] currently
[E] elementary [F] ensure
[G] female [H] fill
[I] occupations [J] occurring
[K] positions [L] primary
[M] recession [N] regularly
[O] unusual
【C1】
选项
答案
O
解析
空格前面是be动词的否定形式,因此空格处需要填入形容词作表语。前一句中提到卡莉·费奥莉娜的丈夫提前退休来支持她的事业,这在当时引起了一个小轰动。原文中使用了分号,由此可知本句和前一句进行对比,当时的轰动现在不算什么,故形容词unusual为本题答案,意思为“不寻常的,与众不同的”。备选词语中形容词较多,但是能和be动词否定形式搭配,并和前句有对比意义的只能选择unusual。
