问题     The prospects for women who are scientists and engineers at major research universities have improved, although women continue to face unfair treatment in salary and【C1】______to some other resources, a panel of the National Research Council【C2】______in a new report. In recent years "men and women faculty in science, engineering and mathematics have enjoyed comparable【C3】______." said the report. It found that women who applied for university jobs and,【C4】______they had them, for promotion and tenure (终身任职), were at least as【C5】______to succeed as men.
    In【C6】______report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at the University of Wisconsin who【C7】______a variety of studies concluded that the achievement gap【C8】______boys and girls in mathematics performance had【C9】______to the vanishing point. Girls are【C10】______of a smaller number in the ranks of young math prodigies (神童),【C11】______. that gap is narrowing. The researchers said this and other circumstances "provide abundant evidence【C12】______the impact of social, cultural and other environmental【C13】 ______on the development of mathematical skills of different genders".
    The research council, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, gathered its expert panel at the【C14】______of Congress. The panel【C15】______six disciplines — biology, chemistry, mathematics, civil and electrical engineering, and physics — and【C16】______its analysis on interviews with faculty members at 89 institutions and data from federal agencies, professional societies and other sources.
    The Wisconsin researchers, Janet S. Hyde and Janet E. Mertz, studied data from 10 states.【C17】______between girls’ and boys’ performance in the 10 states were "【C18】______to zero in all grades", they said. In the national【C19】______. differences between girls’ and boys’ performance were【C20】______"trivial".
【C4】
选项 A、since
B、before
C、once
D、until
答案C
解析 结构衔接题。they指代women who applied for university jobs，them指代university jobs。结合语境，前面只提到她们申请大学的工作，成功与否并未提及，后面提到晋升和终身任职，而晋升和终身任职的前提条件是她们获得了在大学工作的机会。由此可推断出，这里是对她们获得大学工作的一种假设，故答案为[C]once“一旦”。
