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.
【C3】

选项 A、fault
B、will
C、trouble
D、duty

答案A

解析 本句冒号后的内容是对前半句的解释:她们没有“向前一步”,不要求晋升。A项fault“过错”,总结了冒号后的原因。根据上下文语义分析,该空格所需的词应含有否定意义,B项will“意愿”及D项duty“职责”不表达否定意义,另外冒号后面的内容也与“职责”没有直接关系。C项trouble“困扰”,上下文没有谈到冒号后的内容是女性自身的困扰。
