    The experiment was originally【C1】______to observe the effect of 3M privacy filters—thin panels that fit onto a monitor, allowing only the user to view their computer screen—on productivity in the workplace. But the study ended up【C2】______that with or without a privacy filter, women are more productive than men in the workplace.
    Of the 274 subjects, who all worked in financial services, consumer【C3】______, education, health care and energy,【C4】______53 percent of the subjects were female, and 47 percent were male. When working with a privacy filter, females worked 4. 9 minutes during a ten-minute experimental trial, while men worked 4. 3 minutes. And even without a privacy filter, females worked 2. 5 minutes during ten minutes, while male subjects worked for just 2.1 minutes in the【C5】______amount of time.
    Not only do women work longer, but they also【C6】______work harder than their male counterparts(职务相当的人). When subjects were given the【C7】______to walk away during an experimental waiting period, just 38 percent of women left their desk, while 52 percent of men did.
    Moreover, men were found to be less productive if a woman was around. When the researcher and subject were both male, the【C8】______time worked was 3.6 minutes.

选项
答案 C
解析 形容词辨析题。空格在定冠词the和名词time之间，所以空格处应填入形容词。由句意可知，如果研究人员和实验对象都是男性，实验对象的——工作时间为3．6分钟。实验中得出的数据一般都是平均数，结合选项，average“平均的”符合句意，故为答案。
