Even the Saudis—or rather, the small number of men who actually rule their troubled country—are giving ground in the struggle for women’s rights. For sure, the recommendations (1)_____ this week to Crown Prince Abdullah at the end of an (2)_____ round of "national dialogue" concentrating on the role of women were fairly tame. In the reformers-versus-reactionaries (3)_____ test of whether women should be allowed to drive cars (at present they cannot do so in the kingdom, nor can they travel unaccompanied, by whatever (4)_____ of motion), the king was merely asked to" (5)_____ a body to study a public transport system for women to facilitate mobility". (6)_____ mention, of course, of the right to vote—but then that has been (7)_____ to men too, though local elections, on an apparently universal franchise, are supposed to be held in October. In sum, it is a tortoise’s progress. But the very fact of the debate happening at all is (8)_____—and hopeful.
It is not just in Saudi Arabia that more rights for women are being demanded (9)_____ across the whole of the Arab and Muslim world. The pushy Americans have made women’s rights part of their appeal for greater democracy in (10)_____ they now officially call the "broader Middle East", to include non-Arab Muslim countries such as Iran, Turkey and even Afghanistan.

选项
A、tenor
B、gist
C、glamour
D、litmus
答案
D
解析
tenor要旨,大意;思路、gist(文章、论点等的)要旨、glamour魅力,诱惑力;刺激;、litmus试金石,立见分晓的试验。本题是一道语意逻辑推导题。本题需要一个用来修饰限定名词"test"(测试;考验)的词。本题空白处前面的"reformers-versus-reactionaries"(改革者对极端保守分子)暗示:这是一次关系到思想真实性质的考验。由此可以推导出本题的正确答案应该是"litmus"(试金石)。
