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【C8】______may be in the smaller photos to the right: graduate and undergraduate students, about 20 percent of them female. Every year Berkeley sends its fresh female physics PhDs to the country’s top universities. That makes Shapiro optimistic, but also 【C9】______. "I believe things are getting better," she says, "but they’re not getting better as【C10】______as I would like."
A)circumstance F)different K)presently

E)deals J)hope O)virtually

选项

答案N

解析 空格前面是定冠词the,后面是介词of,因此空格处需要填入名词。根据空格前的a storiedplace和句意可知.空格处填入的词意思应与“place”相似。结合备选名词可知,site“场所,地点”符合题意。
