   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

【C11】
选项
答案N
解析 根据空格前的Women need to go和空格后的in their training and education level可知，空格处应填入副词。纵观所有选项，只有N选项further是副词，意为“进一步地”，代入文中，意为“米勒称，要想和男性赚得一样多，女性需要进一步地接受培训和教育”，故N为正确答案。
