参考答案
正确答案:J
一项研究报告显示,2011年美国女性在获得商界高管职位方面没有取得明显进步,但研究的负责人称明年女性已准备好取得[47]进展。由[49]促进女性在商界的职业发展的非赢利机构Catalyst所做的这项调查指出,“财富500强”企业的董事会和管理层成员或高薪员工中女性的比例[48]基本没有变化。Catalyst称,今年l5.1%的公司董事会中有女性成员,去年这一比例为14.8%。此外,2011年公司的管理层职位中有15.7%由女性[50]担任,2010年为l5.4%。2011年高薪员工中女性占6.2%,而2010年为6.7%。对“财富500强”企业所做的研究是[51]基于2011年3月31日以前的相关数据之上的。Catalyst称,这些细微的数据变化[52]在统计学上意义不大。Catalyst机构总裁兼[s3]首席执行官史琳?朗表示,尽管如此,考虑到美国政坛的变化,商界女性的前景将会[54]改观。她说:“总的说来,我们[55]期待看到明年的变化。股东、决策者和公众都在期待改变。”她说:“大家都在说:‘我们不要[56]再维持现状,我们需要新的理念,新的面孔。”’【说明文:女性在商界高管和高薪员工巾所占的比例没有太大的改观】第一段:提出结论——女性在获得商界高管职位方面没有取得明显进步,但前景看好。第二至五段:用Catalyst机构调查得出的具体对比数据,说明女性在商界高管和高薪员工中所占的比例没有太大的变化。第六至八段:Catalyst的总裁艾琳表示由于多种因素,商界女性的前景将会改观。【答案解析】J语法判断:空格前为make,空格后为intheyearahead,因此应填入名词,且应与make形成合适的搭配。语义判断:前文说:“2011年美国女性在获得商界高管职位方面没有取得明显进步,但……”从语义上的转折可以判断,此部分应是表达“明年女性会取得进展”,makestrides既合语法,亦合语义,故J为正确答案。
