问题     Two recent innovations have gained a lot of attention for the way they empower women. One is microcredit(小额贷款), a system helping female microentrepreneurs(小企业家)climb out of【C1】______. The other is the mobile phone, which has【C2】______women to earn a【C3】______living by buying a phone and renting it out to other villagers in some developing countries.
    Some innovations have been harmful【C4】______women, especially in the, developing world. One in this has been new technology that allows parents to【C5】______their baby’s sex early in a pregnancy—and thus to【C6】______females in countries where male【C7】______are valued more highly. Other innovations also bring more benefits to men than women. For example, women are【C8】______to be only 25% of internet users in the world.
    What makes【C9】______a successful pro-women innovation? The report of a new study by the International Centre for Research on Women says it is usually the【C10】______of several positive factors. As with all innovations good idea is not enough【C11】______itself: it also needs a favourable【C12】______, including political, economic and social conditions that make the time right for its【C13】______, and an innovation system that excels at finding and testing good ideas and quickly scaling them【C14】______. But the invention must also have an/a【C15】______value that compels women to【C16】______it—such as the power the birth-control pill gave women【C17】______the decision to become pregnant.
    【C18】______some of the innovations, including the Pill, were explicitly designed for women, others have been designed for men and women【C19】______, but have disproportionally benefited women. Microcredit is one example,【C20】______because poor men seem to be more feckless(没有价值的)borrowers than their female counterparts.  [br] 【C18】
选项 A、Whether
B、Whatever
C、Whereas
D、When
答案 C
解析 逻辑衔接题。此处意思是：有些发明创新，如避孕药，是专为妇女设计的，而另一些则是为男人和女人设计的。分析两句话的意思应是转折关系，故选Whereas“然而，但是”。
