问题    To get a sense of how women have progressed in science, take a quick tour of the physics department at the University of California, Berkeley. This is a storied place, the【C6】______of some of the most important discoveries in modern science-starting with Ernest Lawrence’ s invention of the cyclotron in 1931. A generation ago, female faces were【C7】______and, even today, visitors walkingthrough the first floor of LeConte Hall will see a full corridor of【C8】______exhibits the many distin-guished physicists who made history here, 【C9】______all of them white males.
   But climb up to the third floor and you’ll see a【C10】______display. There, among the photos ofcurrent faculty members and students, are portraits of the【C11】______head of the department, whoseresearch【C12】______everything from the mechanics Marjorie Shapiro, and four other women of the universe to the smallest particles of matter. A sixth woman was hired just two weeks ago. Although they’ re still only about 10 percent of the physics faculty, women are clearly a presence here. And the real【C13】______may be in the smaller photos to the right: graduate and undergraduate students, a-bout 20 percent of them female. Every year Berkeley sends its fresh female physics Ph. Ds to the country’ s top universities. That makes Shapiro optimistic, but also【C14】______"1 believe things are getting better, "she says, "but they’ re not getting better as【C15】______as I would like. "
   [A] circumstance [B] confidence [C] covers
   [D] current [E] deals [F] different
   [G] exposing [H] fast [I] honoring
   [J] hope [K] presently [L] rare
   [M] realistic [N] site [O] virtually
【C9】
选项
答案O
解析 空格前的句子结构完整，空格后是all of them white males，由此可以推断空格处应填入副词，结合上下文可知，这里说的是女性物理学家人数少，男性人数多，再结合备选项可知virtually(几乎，差不多)符合句意。
