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.
【C9】
选项 A、unless
B、before
C、while
D、when
答案B
解析 根据上下文逻辑关系判断横线处要填的连词。上文提到长相好看的女士如果在简历上附上照片，反而不容易得到面试机会。横线处所在的这句话就是具体的证明，当直接给一家公司投简历时，漂亮的女性需要投11份简历才能够获得面试机会，而长相平平的申请人只需要发7份就能获得面试机会。根据逻辑关系可以判断，横线处填的连词应该是一个时间连词，表示在得到面试机会前需要发11份简历，因此正确答案应该选[B]。
