Sixteen years ago, Eileen Doyle’s husband, an engineer,
took his four children up for an early morning cup of tea,
packing a small case and was never seen or heard of again. 【S1】______
Eileen was astonished and in a state of desperate. They 【S2】______
had been a happy family and, as far as she knew, there
had been something wrong with their marriage. 【S3】______
Every day of the year a small group of men and
women quietly pack few belongings and without so much 【S4】______
as a note or a good-bye close the front door for the last
time, leaving off their debts, their worries and their confused 【S5】______
families behind them.
Last year, more than 1,200 men and nearly as many
women were reporting missing from home--the highest in 【S6】______
15 years. Many did return home within a year, but others
rejected the past completely and are now living a new life
somewhere under a different identity.
To those left behind this form of desertion is a terrible
blow to his pride and self-confidence. Even the finality of 【S7】______
death might be preferable. At least it does not imply rejection
or failure. Better than that, people can be left with an 【S8】______
unfinished marriage, not knowing whether they will have to
wait seven years before they are free to start a fresh life.
Clinical psychology Paul Brown believes most 【S9】______
departures of this kind to be well planned would rather than 【S10】______
impulsive. "It’s typical of the kind of personality which
seems able to ignore other people’s pain and difficulties.
Running away, like killing yourself, is a highly aggressive
act. By creating an absence the people left behind feel
guilty, upset and empty."
【S8】
选项
答案
Better→Worse
解析
篇章理解错误。根据上下文,本句所表示的意思与上句为递进关系。上文说到“被留下的人宁愿认为对方已死了,因为这至少意味着自己不是被抛弃或婚姻失败”,下文说“被留下的人也许面临着一个没有结束的婚姻,不知道自己是不是要等上七年才能获得自由,开始新的生活”,从意思上可以看出,下文所说的情况比上文要糟,因此此处应用worse而不能用better。
