问题     Women employees work harder and longer than men do, according to a new study by independent research consultancy the Ponemon Institute. Researchers also discovered that men are even less productive when women are around.
    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. When they were both female, productivity【C9】______to four minutes. But with a female researcher and a male subject, the time worked【C10】______to just 2.8 minutes.
A)apparently F)dropped K)products
B)approximately G)exceedingly L)revealing
C)average H)flexible M)rose
D)benefits I)intended N)same
E)discovering J)opportunity O)shift
【C7】
选项
答案J
解析 名词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格前为动词given和限定词the，空格处应是名词作宾语。本句表明，在实验等待期间，实验对象被给予——可以走开一会儿。结合选项可知，词组the opportunity to do sth．“做……的机会”符合题意，所以应填入opportunity"机会，时机"。
