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.

Never before have women’s rights in the Arab world been so (19)_____ debated. That (20)_____ is cause to rejoice.
选项
A、destroy
B、defy
C、decimate
D、dilate
答案
A
解析
destroy摧毁,毁坏、defy公然反抗;蔑视、decimate大批杀死;大大减少、dilute削弱;降低;冲淡;稀释。本题是一道句子之间的语意逻辑推导题。本题所在句的前一句话指出:美国人试图把自己的价值观强加于包括阿拉伯国家在内的别国。由此可以推断出:这种行径旨在试图毁灭伊斯兰世界。故本题的正确答案应该是"destroy"(摧毁)。
