    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.
【C7】
选项
答案J
解析 空格应填入名词或动名词作介词of的宾语。上文提到，女性最终超过(surpassed)男性，因此推断以前女士是处于落后地位的，此处的“~behind”应与句中surpassed相反，词库中的falling代入空格，fall behind表示“落后”，符合要求。词库中的moving“移动”代入，表示“空间位置上的向后移动”，与原文的surpassed不对应，可排除。
