问题     People have been holding heated discussions recently about women’s experience in the workplace. Last month Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer at Face-book, published "Lean In", a【C1】______declaration on why women have not【C2】______to the most senior positions at companies. She concludes that it is partly women’s own【C3】______: they do not "lean in" and ask for promotions,【C4】______at meetings and insist on taking a seat at the table. Another new book will not have the same impact as "Lean In", but it offers some interesting new【C5】______on how women are coping at work, and what is holding them【C6】______.
    Some of it is down to simple miscommunication. Barbara Annis and John Gray argue in "Work With Me" that men and women are biologically wired to think and react【C7】______to situations, and have "gender blind spots" when it comes to understanding their co-workers’ behavior. Ms Annis, who leads workshops on gender for big companies and governments, and Mr. Gray, author of "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus", have【C8】______to produce an easy-to-read guide to work place communications. Women ask more questions,【C9】______more people’s opinions and seek collaboration with coworkers more frequently than men. Men view these preferences as【C10】______of weakness, and women, in turn, grow【C11】______by how competitively men work, and how quickly they arrive【C12】______conclusions by themselves.
    【C13】______both female and male employees became more "gender【C14】______" about how their work and behavioral preferences are hard-wired, it would contribute to a more harmonious workforce. Women have been choosing to leave companies at twice the【C15】______of men, and more than half the women whom the authors met in workshops were considering leaving their【C16】______. Women often tell their bosses that they are【C17】______for personal reasons, but the majority actually leave because they feel【C18】______teams and not valued for their contributions. Yet the【C19】______is that women often have trouble communicating with other women at work as well,【C20】______the authors do not explain in quite as much detail why this is so.
【C2】
选项 A、descended
B、promoted
C、ascended
D、improved
答案C
解析 此空格需填入谓语动词，其宾语是“最高级职位”(the most senior positions)。下一句总结(concludes)本句，说明女性do not“lean in”and ask for promotions。因此应指职位晋升，C项ascended指“(地位等的)提高”，符合语义及搭配。
