To get a sense of how women have progressed in science, take a quick tour of the physics department at the University of California, Berkeley. This is a storied place, the【C1】______of some of the most important discoveries in modern science -starting with Ernest Lawrence’s invention of the cyclotron(回旋加速器)in 1931. A generation ago, female faces were【C2】______and, even today, visitors walking through the first floor of LeConte Hall will see a full corridor of exhibits【C3】______the many distinguished physicists who made history here,【C4】______all of them white males.
But climb up to the third floor and you’ll see a【C5】______display. There, among the photos of current faculty members and students, are portraits of the【C6】______head of the department, Marjorie Shapiro, and four other women whose research【C7】______everything from the mechanics of the universe to the smallest particles of matter. A sixth woman was hired just two weeks ago. Although they’re still only about 10 percent of the physics faculty, women are clearly a presence here. And the real【C8】______may be in the smaller photos to the right: graduate and undergraduate students, about 20 percent of them female. Every year Berkeley sends its fresh female physics PhDs to the country’s top universities. That makes Shapiro optimistic, but also 【C9】______. "I believe things are getting better," she says, "but they’re not getting better as【C10】______as I would like."
A)circumstance F)different K)presently
B)confidence G)exposing L)rare
C)covers H)fast M)realistic
D)current I)honoring N)site
E)deals J)hope O)virtually [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
L
解析
空格前面是be动词were,因此空格处应填入形容词或名词作表语。结合空格后的内容可知,勒孔特大厅一楼物理学家的展览中,——全部都是白人男性。而空格所在部分介绍的是ageneration ago,再根据“female faces”,可知这里说的是女性人数少。结合备选项可知,rare“稀少的”符合题意,故为答案。
