问题       It is not often realized that women【C1】______ a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the【C2】______ of a dowery or decimum (十分之一财产法). Admittedly, the purpose of this was to【C3】______  her against the【C4】______of desertion, but in reality its 【C5】______ in the social and financial life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife’s 【C6】______ to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the fight to withhold【C7】______ in all the【C8】______ her husband would make. And more than just a fight: the documents show that she enjoyed a real【C9】______ of decision, equal to 【C10】______ of her husband.
     The wife shared in the 【C11】______ of her husband’s personal property,  but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance【C12】______  husbands who tried to【C13】______ their rights, and【C14】______ they showed a fine fighting spirit. A【C15】______ in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona.【C16】______ with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, she insisted【C17】______ compensation.【C18】______ being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe(写法律文书的人) to have a contract duly drawn up【C19】______ her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. Either through the dowery or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economical【C20】______ .
【C11】
选项 A、operation
B、running
C、management
D、administration
答案C
解析 考查词义辨析。management和administration侧重“管理”。management指亲自处理具体的细节问题，而administration强调的是行政方面的管理；operation和running侧重“运行”，指使事物或机器正常运转。这里management为最佳选项，指的是妻子可以和丈夫共同管理丈夫的个人财产，但反之却通常不行。
