Seven of the 18 women who are【C2】______CEOs of Fortune 500 companies—including Xerox’ s Ursula Burns and PepsiCo’ s Indra Nooyi—have, or at some point have had, a stay at home husband. So do scores of【C3】______CEOs of smaller companies and women in other senior executive jobs.
    This role change is【C4】______more and more as women edge past men at work. Women now【C5】______a majority of jobs in the US, including 51. 4 percent of managerial and professional【C6】______, according to US Census Bureau data.

[O]unusual
【C2】
选项
答案D
解析 空格前面是be动词，后面是名词，此处理论上既可选填形容词，也可选填副词。本句提到，“财富五百强”公司的首席执行官中有18名女性，其中7位的丈夫是全职煮夫。句中表述完整，在首席执行官前再加形容词就显得多余了，因此空格处应选择副词形式，备选项中只有两个副词，此处合乎题意的应是currently“当前，现时”，由此确定答案。空格处需要填入副词形式，regularly“定期地，规律地”放在此处不符合句意，故排除。
