问题     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【C6】________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【C7】________and, even today, visitors walking through the first floor of LeConte Hall will see a full corridor of exhibits【C8】________the many distinguished physicists who made history here, 【C9】________all of them white males.
    But climb up to the third floor and you’ll see a【C10】________display. There, among the photos of current faculty members and students, are portraits of the【C11】________head of the department, Marjorie Shapiro, and four other women whose research【C12】________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【C13】________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【C14】________"I believe things are getting better, " she says, "but they’re not getting better as【C15】________as I would like. "
    [A] circumstance [B] confidence
    [C] covers       [D] current
    [E] deals        [F] different
    [G] exposing     [H] fast
    [I] honoring     [J] hope
    [K] presently    [L] rare
    [M] realistic    [N] site
    [O] virtually
【C9】
选项
答案O
解析 空格前的句子结构完整, 空格后是all of them white males, 由此可以推断空格处应填入副词, 结合上下文可知, 这里说的是女性物理学家人数少, 男性人数多, 再结合备选项可知virtually(几乎, 差不多)符合句意。
