Seven of the 18 women who are【S2】______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【S3】______CEOs of smaller companies and women in other senior executive jobs.

D) currently L) primary
E) elementary M) recession
F) ensure N) regularly
G) female O) unusual
H) fill
【S5】
选项
答案H
解析 空格前有名词作主语，后面有名词作宾语，可见此处缺少谓语动词，因此需要填入动词形式，且需要和a majority of job搭配，fill意为“填充，就职”，可以和jobs搭配并且符合题意。在备选动词中，conflict，ensure不能和jobs搭配。
