问题     Women employees work harder and longer than men do, according to a new study by independent research consultancy the Ponemon Institute. Researchers also discovered that men are even less productive when women are around.
    The experiment was originally【C1】________to observe the effect of 3M privacy filters—thin panels that fit onto a monitor, allowing only the users to view their computer screen—on productivity in the workplace. But the study ended up【C2】________that with or without a privacy filter, women are more productive than men in the workplace.
    Of the 274 subjects, who all worked in financial services, consumer【C3】________, education, health care and energy, 【C4】________53 percent of the subjects were female, and 47 percent were male. When working with a privacy filter, females worked 4. 9 minutes during a ten-minute experimental trial, while men worked 4. 3 minutes. And even without a privacy filter, females worked 2. 5 minutes during ten minutes, while male subjects worked for just 2.1 minutes in the【C5】________amount of time.
    Not only do women work longer, but they also【C6】________work harder than their male counterparts (职务相当的人). When subjects were given the【C7】________to walk away during an experimental waiting period, just 38 percent of women left their desk, while 52 percent of men did.
    Moreover, men were found to be less productive if a woman was around. When the researcher and subject were both male, the【C8】________time worked was 3.6 minutes. When they were both female, productivity【C9】________to four minutes. But with a female researcher and a male subject, the time worked【C10】________to just 2.8 minutes.

选项
答案 F
解析 动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知。本句缺少谓语动词。空格前的worked为后置定语修饰the time，而不是谓语动词。由本段第一句话可知，如果周围有女性，男性的工作效率更低。因此，当研究人员为女性、实验对象为男性时，工作时间应降低。同时，由数字也能明显看出男性的工作时间从3．6分钟“降低至”2．8分钟。所以应填入dropped“降低”。
