    Women have long been more in number than men on college campuses. They also hold more advanced degrees than their male【C1】______. So it makes sense that women would also score higher on IQ tests. But for the last 100 years, they’ve lagged behind men by as much as five points—【C2】______ their scores have been rising.
    Finally, according to IQ expert James Flynn, women have【C3】______ the IQ gap and are in fact scoring higher than men, reports the Telegraph.
    IQ, the most widely used measure of intelligence and is determined based on the difference between one’s IQ score and the average IQ score of a certain age group. It’s thought to be a product of both environmental and【C4】______ factors, and is a statistically reliable indication of future educational achievement, job performance and income. But the reasons for differences in IQ— for example, between races or genders—have long been widely【C5】______.
    There are many【C6】______ reasons that women finally surpassed men in IQ after a century of 【C7】______ behind, according to Flynn, who is writing a book about IQ and gender.
    One theory is that women have always been capable of scoring higher but, because of gender stereotypes, never realized their own【C8】______. Gender-based differences in education, breeding and social roles have historically set the standard lower for women.
    "This improvement is more noticeable for women than for men【C9】______ they were socially and economically deprived in the past," Flynn told the Telegraph.
    Now if only women could close in on that【C10】______ wage gap.
【C6】
选项
答案M
解析 此处填入形容词修饰reasons。由空格前的many(许多)以及下文的one(一种……)可推断此处并非表示确定的理由，因此选择词库中的possible“可能的”。potential也表示“可能的”，但它强调的是“未来极可能发展成某种的人或物”，与reasons不能搭配使用。
