问题     Women with low literacy suffer disproportionately more than men, encountering more【C6】________in finding a well-paying job and being twice as likely to end up in the group of lowest wage earners, a study released on Wednesday said.
    Analysis by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research ( IWPR) found women at all levels of【C7】________tend to earn less than men, but it’s at the lowest literacy levels that the wage gap between genders is most【C8】________.
     Women with low literacy are twice as likely as men at the same skill level to be among the lowest earners, bringing in $ 300 a week or less, the report said.
    "Because women start off so low in terms of wages, having higher literacy and more skills really【C9】________a big difference, " said Kevin Miller, a 【C10】________research associate at IWPR and coauthor of the study.
    Women need to go【C11】________in their training and education level to earn the same as men, Miller said.
    The【C12】________was based on 2003 National Assessment of Adult Literacy surveys, the most recent data【C13】________, and focused on reading skills, not writing and numeric literacy. That data was【C14】________from a nationally representative sample of 19,714 people aged 16 and older, living in households or prisons.
    Data showed about one-third of American adults have low literacy levels, and more than 36 percent of men and 33 percent of women fall into that【C15】________the institute said.

选项
答案G
解析 根据空格前的the most recent data和空格后的逗号，并不容易判断应填入什么。浏览剩余选项，collected“收集”作为后置定语似乎可以修饰data，表示“最近收集到的数据”，我们很容易选E项填入此处，但是当做到后面的时候就会发现，the data was collected from…是必然的选择，由于每个选项只能使用一次，故本题不能选E。而G选项available“可获得的，可用的”代入文中，the most recent data available意为“最新的可获得的／可用的数据”，符合此处句意，故G为正确答案。
