After that, she would choose one of the 8 and click in the filter(滤镜) app. The food eventually looked 10 times more delicious than it really was, but we had no 9 to really enjoy it— it all went cold. Actually Chen's real life is much less elegant. For example, she hates to wash the dishes, so she leaves them in the sink for 10 .

19. A. identifying B. accepting C. persuading D. amusing 20. A. simplifying B. ruining

9．For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
When Elinor Ostrom won the Nobel Prize for her research on economic governance in 2009, it was the first (and so far, the only) time a woman won a Nobel for Economics. That prize has 1 for nearly 50 years. We don't do a great job of recognizing women's contributions to science and innovation. My colleagues and I wondered: Is one of the reasons why women are more likely to 2 science than men because they don't receive the same recognition? To understand how 3 shapes women's motivation to remain in science, we first had to get a good measure of the motivations. We sought to first study a highly visible 4 , prizes, because large prizes tend to be understood and appreciated by the broader public, and they also influence those who make decisions about scientific 5 and other financial support.
Our study focused on prizes in the biomedical sciences. If we're going to find 6 anywhere in science, it would be in this field. Women have entered biomedicine in equal numbers to men since the early 2000s. 7 this, of all Nobels awarded to women, a full two-thirds have been for biomedical research. Our 8 was simple: we documented all biomedical research prizes we could find over the past five decades. We also considered the financial awards and importance associated with the prizes, as indicators of their 9 . Then we measured the percentage of prizes won by women and the association between gender and prize quality.
Our initial results highlighted overall 10 news: the proportion of biomedical prizes awarded to women has risen steadily. But when we looked at the association between gender and quality of prizes awarded, we observed a major difference: on average, women scientists win prizes associated with less money and importance than men do. Importantly, our further research suggests that there's no 11 that the quality or value of women-led research is any lower than that of men, as measured by citations (引用) per article, productivity, or width of research topics studied. 12 , women are catching up in terms of number of prizes won, but still fall significantly behind in regard to the importance and monetary awards associated with the prizes. The bottom line: while on the surface it may appear that the gender gap has somewhat 13 when it comes to science prizes, great injustice is hidden just below. The problem likely 14 beyond the borders of science. In business, for example, prizes and funding for new technology and innovation may follow a similar pattern, helping to explain the phenomenon observed for female entrepreneurs, again 15 by research. This is something worth examining in greater depth. 1. A. remained 2. A. leave 3. A. contribution
B. awarded B. doubt B. recognition
C. existed C. question C. resolution
D. established D. suspect D. promotion
4. A. indicator 5. A. experiments 7. A. In line with 8. A. concept 10. A. vague 11. A. description 12. A. Therefore 13. A. highlighted 14. A. dominates 15. A. turned out
B. substance B. innovation B. Contrary to B. outcome B. sudden B. evidence B. However B. eliminated B. extends B. taken on
C. confirmation C. study C. Compared with C. requirement C. accomplishment C. good C. document C. Instead C. strengthened C. overtakes C. backed up
D. compliment D. grants D. In case of D. approach D. reputation D. fundamental D. comparison D. Nevertheless D. narrowed D. justifies D. held up

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，诺贝尔经济学奖已经存在近50年，2009年，埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆因其经济治理研究获得诺贝尔奖，这是第一次诺贝尔经济学奖由女性获得。作者很想知道女性比男性更有可能离开科学界的原因之一，是不是因为她们没有得到同样的认可?对此作者进行了研究调查，研究表明，女性主导的研究的质量或价值不低于男性，在获奖数量方面，女性正在迎头赶上，但在重要性和与奖项相关的奖金方面，妇女仍然大大落后。表面上看，性别差距在科学奖上有所缩小，但下面隐藏着巨大的不公正。（1）考查动词。句意：这个奖项已经存在了将近50年。A. remained“留下”；B. awarded“授予”；C. existed“存在”；D. established“建立”。根据上文可知，2009年，埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆因其经济治理研究获得诺贝尔奖，这是已经存在近50年诺贝尔经济学奖，第一次诺贝尔经济学奖由女性获得。故选C。

（4）考查名词。句意：我们试图首先研究一个高度可见的指标——奖励，因为大的奖励往往会被更广泛的公众所理解和欣赏，而且它们也会影响那些决定科学资助和其他财政支持的人。A. indicator“指标”；B. substance“物质”；C. confirmation“确定”；D. compliment“赞美”。奖励是研究的一个指标，以及下文\"indicators of their quality\"质量指标，可以判断出indicator符合句意。故选A。
（5）考查名词。句意：我们试图首先研究一个高度可见的指标——奖励，因为大的奖励往
往会被更广泛的公众所理解和欣赏，而且它们也会影响那些决定科学资助和其他财政支持的人。A. experiments“实验”；B. innovation“ 革新”；C. study“研究”；D. grants“拨款”。根据\" other financial support.\"可知，and并列连接的是决定科学资助和其他财政支持的人。故选D。

（7）考查介词短语。句意：与此一致的是，在所有授予女性的诺贝尔奖中，有三分之二是在生物医学研究领域。A. In line with“跟.....一致”；B. Contrary to “ 与......相反”；C. Compared with“与.......比较”；D. In case of“ 假如”。根据上文可知，女性进入生物医学领域的人数与男性持平。所以与此一致的是在所有授予女性的诺贝尔奖中，有三分之二是在生物医学研究领域。故选A。
（8）考查名词。句意：我们的方法很简单:我们记录下了过去50年里我们能找到的所有生物医学研究奖项。A. concept“概念”；B. outcome“结果”；C. requirement“要求”；D. approach“方法”。根据\"we documented all biomedical research prizes we could find over the past five decades\"可知，我们记录下了过去50年里我们能找到的所有生物医学研究奖项。所以这是研究所采取的方法。故选D。
（9）考查名词。句意：我们还考虑了与奖金相关的财务奖励和重要性，作为其质量的指标。A. improvement“提高”；B. quality“质量”；C. accomplishment“完成”；D. reputation“名誉”。根据\" prize quality.\"可知，作者还考虑了与奖金相关的财务奖励和重要性，作为其质量的指标。故选B。
（10）考查形容词。句意：我们的初步结果突出了整体的好消息:女性获得生物医学奖项的比例稳步上升。A. vague “含 糊 的”；B. sudden“突然的”；C. good“好的”；D. fundamental“基本的”。根据\"he proportion of biomedical prizes awarded to women has risen steadily.\"可知，女性获得生物医学奖项的比例稳步上升。所以这是好的消息。故选C。
（11）考查名词。句意：更重要的是，我们的进一步研究表明，没有证据表明女性主导的研究的质量或价值低于男性，这是以每篇文章的引用、生产率或研究课题的广度来衡量的。A. description“描写”；B. evidence“证据”；C. document“文件”；D. comparison“比较”。研究是要靠证据得出结论。所以there is no evidence that...意为\"没有证据证明……\"符合句意。选B。
（12）考查副词。句意：因此，在获奖数量方面，女性正在迎头赶上，但在重要性和与奖项相关的奖金方面，妇女仍然大大落后。A. Therefore“因此”；B. However“然而”；C. Instead“而不是”；D. Nevertheless“尽管如此”。分析句意可知，前后句子为承接关系，所以Therefore符合句意。故选A。
（13）考查动词。句意：从表面上看，性别差距似乎有所缩小，但在科学奖方面，巨大的不公正却隐藏在下面。A. highlighted“强调”；B. eliminated“消除”；C. strengthened“加强”；D.
narrowed“变窄”。narrow the gap固定短语，\"缩小差距，故选D。
（14）考查动词。句意：这个问题可能超出了科学的范围。A. dominates“支配”；B. extends“延伸”；C. overtakes“追上”；D. justifies “证明......正确”。根据\" beyond the borders of science.\"可知，超出了科学的范围。所以动词extend符合句意。故选B。
