问题     A report last week showed that almost half of all men failed to take up their offering of two weeks paternity leave(陪产假). The Equality and Human Rights Commission,【C1】______carried out the research, found that most men who failed to take the【C2】______did so because they felt unable to afford it.
    The research was not【C3】______to paternity leave. It also found that two out of five men were afraid of asking for flexible working【C4】______it harm their careers by making them appear uncommitted. The same number【C5】______to feeling that they spent too little time with their children.
【C6】______there is something going on【C7】______British culture-and one thing driving our culture is the legal framework in which【C8】______operates.【C9】______to the two-week paternity leave for men, women have a one-year offering. The【C10】______offerings are a signal that in this society men belong in the office【C11】______women should take the lead at home.

选项 A、Because
B、Yet
C、Thus
D、Even
答案 A
解析 考查语义逻辑。上文说“真正要发起一场文化的改变，就最好给丈夫和妻子同样长的(陪)产假，并让他们自行决定谁待在家里照顾孩子”，下文说“当男人们真正摆脱了把他们禁锢在办公室以及要求他们充当养家糊口角色的文化枷锁时，他们可以成为很棒的全职家庭丈夫”，由此看来，后者是对前者进行诠释，所以用Because连接。
