问题     At work, as in life, attractive women get a lot of good lucks. Studies have shown that they are more likely to be【C1】______than their plain-Jane colleagues because people tend to project【C2】______traits【C3】______them, such as a sensitive heart and a cool head, they may also be at a/an【C4】______in job interviews. But research suggests otherwise.
    Brad Hanks at Georgia State University looked at what happens when job hunters include photos with their resume, as is the【C5】______in much of Europe and Asia. The pair sent made-up applications to over 2,500 real-life【C6】______. For each job, they sent two very similar resume, one with a photo, one without. Subjects had previously been graded for their attractiveness.
    For men, the results were【C7】______expected. Hunks were more likely to be called for an interview if they included a photo. Ugly men were better off not including one. However, for women this was【C8】______. Attractive females were less likely to be offered an interview if they included a mugshot. When applying directly to a company (rather than through an agency) an attractive woman would need to send out 11 CVs on average【C9】______getting an interview; a/an【C10】______qualified plain one just seven.
    At first, Mr. Hanks considered【C11】______he calls the "dumb-blonde hypothesis"—that people【C12】______beautiful women to be stupid.【C13】______, the photos had also been rated on how【C14】______people thought each subject looked; there was no【C15】______between perceived intellect and beauty.
    So the cause of the discrimination must【C16】______elsewhere. Human resources departments tend to be【C17】______mostly by women. Indeed, in the Israeli study, 93% of those tasked with selecting whom to invite for an interview were female. The researchers’ unavoidable—and unpalatable—conclusion is that old-fashioned【C18】______led the women to discriminate【C19】______pretty candidates.
    So should attractive women simply attach photos that make them look dowdy? No. Better, says Mr. Hanks, to discourage the practice of including a photo altogether. Companies might even consider the【C20】______model used in the Belgian public sector, where CVs do not even include the candidate’s name.
【C5】
选项 A、standard
B、norm
C、criterion
D、example
答案B
解析 本题主要考查对几个同义词词义的辨析。空格前的句义是“佐治亚州立大学的布拉德.汉克斯想要探究求职者在简历上附上照片究竟会产生怎样的作用”，后面一句话是as引导的非限制性定语从句，as作为关系词代替的是前面整句话的内容。首先可以排除的答案是[D]，如果空格处填example，整个句子的意思不符合逻辑，“……这是大多数欧洲和亚洲国家的例子”。剩下的三个答案填在空格处，逻辑上都讲得通，需要进行词义的辨析。[A]和[C]是同义词，都表示“标准，准则”，但是说在简历上附照片是欧洲和亚洲大部分国家的标准，意思上说不过去。因此只有[B]最符合句义，norm一词有“常规做法，正常现象”之意，此处句意为“在简历上附照片是欧洲和亚洲大部分国家的通常做法”。
