They are regarded as chores by both sexes, but fall disproportionately on only one. The latest survey of time use in America suggests women still【C1】______most of the housework, spending on average an hour a day scrubbing, hoovering and shopping,【C2】______with barely 20 minutes for the unfairer sex.
Standard【C3】______for this division of labour【C4】______on the pay gap between the sexes. A recent report shows women【C5】______earn about 20% less than men in America Couples can maximise earnings【C6】______the lower-paid(usually female)partner does the【C7】______work at home. But in a new paper Leslie Stratton of Virginia Commonwealth University asks【C8】______different attitudes to housework also play a【C9】______in sharing the dusting.
Mr Stratton draws on data from the Time Use Survey in Britain,【C10】______shows how people spent their day and which tasks they enjoyed. Attitudes certainly【C11】______: women disliked laundry less than men. Ironing was generally dreaded; weirdly large numbers of both sexes liked shopping for food.
Mr Stratton found some【C12】______for the pay-gap hypothesis. Women with higher wages did a little【C13】______work at home. A woman who earned 10% more than【C14】______ducked out of two minutes’ housework per weekday. Her partner heroically【C15】______up this time at the weekend.【C16】______his wages made no difference【C17】______the extent of his efforts around the house.
There is【C18】______in the idea that chores go to the lower-paid partner. But cause and effect are【C19】______. Do women do more【C20】______lower pay, or might their careers suffer from a disproportionate burden at home?
【C18】
选项
A、doubt
B、advantage
C、belief
D、truth
答案
D
解析
空格所在句的主句是There is——in the idea,后面的that引导从句作idea的同位语,表明idea的内容。文章最后两句由转折词But带出,对上述“收入差距导致男女家务分配的不相称”的观点提出了疑问,由此反推本句应该是对这一观念的肯定的、正面的陈述,故先排除A项doubt“怀疑”。B项advantage“优势,益处”,本文并没有描述这种观点有何优势,该项缺乏文章线索。C项belief“信任,信念”,通常指人的主观意念,此句为一个客观的陈述,不涉及某人的想法。D项truth“真理,事实,真实性”代入文中表示“这种……的想法有一定道理”,符合上下文语义。
