问题     The prospects for women who are scientists and engineers at major research universities have improved, although women continue to face unfair treatment in salary and【C1】______to some other resources, a panel of the National Research Council【C2】______in a new report. In recent years "men and women faculty in science, engineering and mathematics have enjoyed comparable【C3】______." said the report. It found that women who applied for university jobs and,【C4】______they had them, for promotion and tenure (终身任职), were at least as【C5】______to succeed as men.

Girls are【C10】______of a smaller number in the ranks of young math prodigies (神童),【C11】______. that gap is narrowing. The researchers said this and other circumstances "provide abundant evidence【C12】______the impact of social, cultural and other environmental【C13】 ______on the development of mathematical skills of different genders".
    The research council, an arm of the National Academy of Sciences, gathered its expert panel at the【C14】______of Congress. The panel【C15】______six disciplines — biology, chemistry, mathematics, civil and electrical engineering, and physics — and【C16】______its analysis on interviews with faculty members at 89 institutions and data from federal agencies, professional societies and other sources.

选项 A、distant
B、likely
C、temporary
D、immediate
答案 B
解析 语义衔接题。这里是把男性和女性获得晋升和终身任职的成功进行比较。前面提到男女享有相同的机会，由此推断出，男性和女性获得晋升和终身任职成功的可能性应该是差不多的，故答案为[B]likely“很可能”。[A]distant“遥远的”；[C]temporary“暂时的”；[D]immediate“立即的”。
