Women already(1)______the majority of university graduates in the OECD countries and the majority of(2)______workers in several rich countries, including the United States. Women(3)______ many of the world’s great companies, from Pepsi Co in America to Areva in France. Women’s(4)______empowerment is arguably the biggest social change of our times. Just a generation ago, women were(5)______confined to repetitive, humble jobs. They were routinely(6)______ to casual sexism and were expected to(7) ______ their careers when they married and had children. Today they are running some of the organizations that once treated them(8)______ second-class citizens. Millions of women have been given more control over their own lives.(9)______ millions of brains have been put to more productive use. Societies that try to(10)______ this trend-most notably the Arab countries, but also Japan and some southern European countries—will pay a heavy price in the form of wasted talent and frustrated citizens.
This revolution has been(11)______ with only a modicum of friction. Men have,(12)______, welcomed women’s invasion of the workplace,(13)______even the most positive changes can be incomplete or unsatisfactory. This particular advance comes with two stings.

They are also paid significantly less than men(16)______average. The second is that juggling work and child-rearing is difficult.

But the biggest losers are poor children—(18)______in places like America and Britain that have(19)______high levels of female(20)______in the labour force with a reluctance to spend public money on child care.

选项
A、pursue
B、seek
C、abandon
D、change
答案
C
解析
动词辨析题。从语法角度来看,这四个选项都可入选,但根据上下文,此处表达“女性放弃自己的工作”。[C]abandon意为“放弃”,符合文意,故为答案。[A]pursue表示“继续从事”,[B]seek表示“寻找”,[D]change表示“改变”,都与句意不符,故都排除。
