考查部分倒装及副词辨析。句意：在一个典型的商业环境中，虽然女性有可能努力尝试打破职场上的“玻璃天花板”，这是职场上的一道无法逾越的障碍。hard为副词时“努力地，艰难地”，而“hardly”意为“几乎不”。本句是说女性努力尝试打破这个障碍，所以不能用hardly，用hard。分析句子可知，本句前后两句是转折关系。当as译为“尽管”时，只用于倒装语序结构中，语气强于although和though。这种倒装常把副词置于as引导的从句的句首。如Hard as he works, he can't support his family.尽管他工作努力，可还是无法养活一家人。分析可知只有B项正确。故选B。
