I was addressing a small gathering in a women’s group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening one man had been particularly【C1】______, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch.
Toward the end of the evening I commented that women【C2】______complain that their husbands don’t talk to them. This man quickly nodded in agreement. He gestured toward his wife and said, "She’s the talker in our family." The room 【C3】______into laughter; the man looked【C4】______and hurt. "It’s true," he explained. "When I come home from work, I have nothing to say. If she didn’t keep the conversation going, we’d spend the whole evening in silence."
Although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. The pattern was【C5】______by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late 1970s. Sociologist Catherine reports in her new book Divorce Talk that most of the women she interviewed gave lack of【C6】______as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent, that【C7】______to millions of cases in the United States every year —an epidemic of failed conversation.
In my own research complaints from women about their husbands most often focused not on real【C8】______, such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband or doing far more than their share of daily life-support work like cleaning, cooking, social arrangements and errands. They【C9】______ focused on communication: "He doesn’t listen to me." "He doesn’t talk to me." I found as Hacker observed years before that most wives want their husbands to be first and foremost conversational partners but few husbands share this【C10】______of their wives.
A. puzzled B. frequently C. seldom
D. amounts E. instead F. expectation
G. problems H. communication I. shocked
J. burst K. inequities L. talkative
M. fell N. observed O. thus
【C8】
选项
答案
K
解析
inequities,词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。可选范围是“expectation(期待,期望),inequities(不公正,不公平),problems(问题)”。空后的such as具体阐述该空的内涵,包括妻子放弃工作相夫教子,分担比丈夫更多的家务,如cleaning,cooking,social arrangements and errands“打扫卫生、做饭、社会安排和种种任务”。此处用了比较级,目的是凸显男女社会分工的不公正,但女性一般不会抱怨。因此,这里并非是女性有所expectation“期待”,而problems过于泛泛,没有针对性,所以答案是inequities。
