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.
【C1】

选项 A、controversial
B、perplexing
C、distracting
D、ambiguous

答案A

解析 上句指出女性的职场工作经验引发了人们的热议(heated discussions),空格所在句子表明《向前一步》一书这是一部怎样的宣言(declaration)。此句与上句之间没有转折连词,可知空格所在部分表示的意思和上文一致。A项controversial“有争议的”与heated discussion对应,是正确答案。B项perplexing“难理解的”,文中没有依据能推断出该书是否令人费解。C项distracting “注意力不集中的”,不和declaration搭配。D项ambiguous表示“模糊的,有歧义的”,而我们从文章所提的该书的内容来看,它的立场并不存在含糊的问题。
