题目解答
答案
本文研究了公司多样性信息对求职者行为的影响。研究发现，当公司提供多样性信息时，即使薪资较低，求职者也更愿意点击相关职位。实验将180,000名用户分为两组：一组仅接收常规职位信息，另一组可查看公司多样性数据（如种族、性别、教育背景等）。结果显示，多样性条件下的用户更倾向于点击高多样性评分的职位，且愿意接受较低薪资。
- attractive：研究发现，提供多样性信息的职位对求职者更具吸引力。
- matching：平台根据用户搜索条件发送匹配的职位信息。
- groups：用户被分为两组，分别接受不同条件的实验。
- score：多样性条件下的邮件包含公司多样性评分。
- employees：信息涉及公司员工的种族、性别、教育等与行业平均水平的对比。
- industry：比较范围是同行业及同一地区。
- collected：研究团队收集了邮件打开率及职位点击数据。
- clicked：记录用户点击的职位列表。
- attention：多样性条件下的用户更关注多样性信息。
- diversity：用户愿意接受较低薪资，若公司多样性评分更高。
最终，研究表明，公司多样性信息能显著提升职位吸引力，即使薪资较低，求职者仍可能接受。

解析
本题主要考查对文章内容的理解以及词汇的运用，解题关键在于结合上下文语境，分析每个空格处所需词汇的词性、语义和逻辑关系。
- 第一空：
- 前文提到“job seekers are even willing to explore jobs with lower salaries when companies are more diverse”，说明公司多样性信息让职位对求职者更有吸引力。
- “make sth. + adj.”是常见结构，这里需要一个形容词，“attractive”意为“有吸引力的”，符合语境。
- 第二空：
- 句子说平台给个人发送与他们求职标准相关的职位信息。
- “matching”是现在分词作后置定语，修饰“postings”，表示“匹配的”，即与用户求职标准相匹配的职位信息。
- 第三空：
- 根据后文“in the baseline condition”和“in the diversity condition”可知，用户被分成了两组。
- “one of two groups”表示“两组中的一组”，“groups”符合要求。
- 第四空：
- 后文提到“information about the race, gender, education, and language skills...”，这些信息是关于公司多样性的评分内容。
- “a diversity score”表示“一个多样性评分”，“score”合适。
- 第五空：
- 这里说的是公司员工的种族、性别、教育等信息与同行业其他公司员工的对比。
- “employees”指“员工”，符合文意。
- 第六空：
- “in the same industry and location”表示“在同一行业和同一地点”，“industry”是“行业”的意思，符合逻辑。
- 第七空：
- 研究团队需要收集邮件是否被打开以及用户点击哪些职位列表的信息。
- “Information was collected”表示“信息被收集”，“collected”是“collect”的过去分词，用于被动语态。
- 第八空：
- “click on”是固定短语，意为“点击”，这里用“clicked”构成被动语态，表示“被点击”。
- 第九空：
- “pay attention to”是固定搭配，意思是“注意，关注”，所以这里填“attention”。
- 第十空：
- 前文提到多样性条件下的用户更关注多样性信息，这里说用户愿意看来自多样性评分更高公司的职位，即使薪资较低。
- “diversity score”表示“多样性评分”，“diversity”符合语境。
