问题     A young consultant’s life is tiring. A【C1】______week starts before dawn on Monday, with a rush to the airport and a【C2】______to wherever the client is based. He can【C3】______to stay in hotels at least three nights a week, gorging on minibar peanuts and gloomily texting a(n) 【C4】______lover. "It’s quite【C5】______to spend a year living out of a suitcase," sighs one London-based consultant.
    So the job【C6】______to "insecure overachievers" —a phrase【C7】______used in the industry—"who are always worried that they haven’t done enough work," jokes a consultant. Some 60-65% of consultants are recent college-leavers. Most【C8】______out within a few years and take more settled jobs elsewhere in the business world, 【C9】______their experience and contacts【C10】______them to slot in several levels above their less-travelled【C11】______ .
    The elite consultancies have offices in big cities, which is where【C12】______young people want to live. The best-paid jobs are in places【C13】______London and New York. Such cities are also where the culture and dating opportunities are richest.
    Such attitudes are frustrating for firms in Portsmouth or Peoria. 【C14】______consultancies benefit from it They【C15】______bright young things in the metropolis and then hire out their brains to firms in the sticks. This is one【C16】______why consultants have to travel so much.
    The system【C17】______, more or less, for everyone. Firms in the provinces get to【C18】______talent they could not【C19】______hire. And young consultants get to experience life in the real world before returning to the capital to party with their friends at the weekend. They have it all,【C20】______enough sleep.
【C10】

选项 A、persuade
B、allow
C、force
D、tempt

答案B

解析 此空填的是该句的谓语动词,该句主语为“经验和人脉”(experience and contacts),空格后为宾语them(指这些转行的咨询师)和宾语补足语to slot in several levels above“处于比……更高的位置”。根据less-travelled推测比较的对象应是欠缺出差经验的人,二者相比,转行的咨询师由于拥有更丰富的经验和人脉而更有可能在竞争中处于优势地位,即他们的经验和人脉关系让他们在新工作环境中能被安置于更高的职位上,B项allow“容许;使能够,促使”符合此处语义逻辑。
