A
【解析】
试题分析：考查非谓语动词做状语的区别。A 已经被要求，having been done做状语表示该动作发生在主句动作之前, 表示“完成＋被动。”；B 不定式的一般式表示动作在主句谓语动词之后或同时发生；C 已经要求，having done表示动作发生在主句谓语动词之前就发生了；D 即将被要求，不定式的被动式表示即将发生的被动动作；下文：I missed a wonderful film.中missed是一般过去时态，故上文提到要求超时间工作，与主句主语之间构成被动关系；故A正确。
考点：考查非谓语动词做状语的区别。
阅读快车系列答案Young women are more adventurous than young men when travelling abroad in gap years．One in three female backpackers visits more than three countries during a year out and travels alone, according to new research．
By contrast, the majority of their male counterparts（地位相当者） visit only one country and tend to travel in groups, says a survey by the Gap Year company, which provides information and services for students considering taking a year out．
More women than men say that their prime reason for taking time off is to see the world and experience different cultures．Men are more likely to rank “having fun” higher on their list of priorities．Women are more likely to value the challenge of a foreign trip, and many cited reasons such as learning a language and meeting new people．
The more adventurous gap years taken by women seem to work to their benefit; more than three quarters of those surveyed have reported increased confidence, self-reliance（自立） and independence, whereas only half of the men had that experience．
The research also shows that women are more likely to do voluntary work while travelling, with more than one in ten helping with teaching or development projects．One of the reasons given for this is a wish to see the country in an authentic light．
A greater proportion of women than men face objections or criticism from their families over their gapyear plans．Among the men surveyed, lack of money is the main barrier to travel．
Carolyn Martin, a doctor from London,is a typically confident female traveller．Starting in Cape Town, she travelled around southern Africa and Australia with a string of unusual and sometimes dangerous jobs．
“I had one job chasing elephants off the runway in Africa by banging a stick against a pan，” she recalled．“It was OK but one day I did get chased by one．”
She said that she had travelled alone because “you meet more people”．
