【參考譯文】
一項大型調查顯示,英國近三分之一的女性是家中主要的經(jīng)濟支柱。
研究人員稱,現(xiàn)在很多人不再認為家庭中丈夫就應該比妻子賺得多,[36]尤其是在到處都在裁員的時候。
女性對這個問題的態(tài)度也發(fā)生了[37]重大的轉變,四成女性認為夫妻雙方誰賺錢多誰就應當[38]說了算。
在十分之一的家庭中,是由丈夫負責照看孩子、做[39]家務,妻子則全職工作。
10%的女性坦承這種角色的[40]轉換對夫妻雙方的關系造成了影響,有些人則說這種角色分工甚至導致了兩人的[41]分手。
由《紅秀》雜志委托開展的“2010年女性和職業(yè)調查”發(fā)現(xiàn),近一半的全職媽媽[42]希望能自己出去工作賺錢。
在2000名受訪女性中,三分之二的人說她們想要在生孩子后還能繼續(xù)工作。
在孩子不滿三歲的女性中,[43]略多比例的人說她們希望能出去工作而不是待在家里——不過最好是兼職。
《紅秀》雜志的維多利亞·哈柏說:“如今的女性畢業(yè)后就業(yè)的前景不錯,[44]職業(yè)晉升速度比以往更快。”
這意味著如今家庭中的男女角色分工要更加[45]靈活,有了孩子以后更是如此。
【答案解析】
36.I
語法判斷:本句句子結構完整,空格處所填詞匯應不會對句意產(chǎn)生較大影響,副詞的可能性最大。
語義判斷:此句意為:“現(xiàn)在很多人不再認為家庭中丈夫就應該比妻子賺得多,——是在到處都在裁員的時候。”備選項中副詞只有slightly和especially,綜合考慮,“especially(尤其是)”符合題意。
37.O
語法判斷:空格前是in a,空格后為shift in attitudes,故應填入形容詞。
語義判斷:備選項中的形容詞有opposite和significant。significant意為“重大的;值得注意的”,符合本處題意,故O為正確答案。
38.A
語法判斷:空格前是WOuldtake,空格后為inthe relationship,故應填入名詞。
語義判斷:“takeprecedence(有優(yōu)先權,地位更高)”是一固定搭配,且符合本句語境,引申義即為:誰賺錢多誰就應當“說了算”。故選A。
39.L
語法判斷:空格前是does me,空格后為while,故應填入名詞。
語義判斷:“dothe chores(做家務)”是常見搭配,且符合本句句意:“在十分之一的家庭中,是由丈夫負責照看孩子、做家務,妻子則全職工作!
40.H
語法判斷:空格前是this role,空格后為had put strains ontheir relationship。此句謂語部分已經(jīng)較為完整,對主語部分的判斷從語法角度無法進行。
語義判斷:本句意為:“l(fā)0%的女性坦承這種角色的__________對夫妻雙方的關系造成了影響”。填入“reversal(顛倒,轉換)”,既符合語法,也符合句意。故選H。
41.J
語法判斷:空格前是ledtothem,空格后為company,從語法角度推斷出答案具有相當難度。
語義判斷:本句意為:“10%的女性坦承這種角色轉換對夫妻雙方的關系造成了影響,有些人則說這種角色轉換甚至導致了兩人的__________。”由句意可知,婚姻關系中的角色轉換有可能會造成婚姻關系緊張,甚至會導致兩人分道揚鑣。通觀余下選項可以發(fā)現(xiàn),“parting company(手,分道揚鑣)”既合語法結構,又合句意。故選J。
42.M
語法判斷:空格前是almosthalfoffull.timemothers,空格后為notearningtheirownmonev。且空格前后應構成一個完整的句子,因此應填入動詞。
語義判斷:備選項中的動詞有favored、plan和disliked,分別代入空格處可以發(fā)現(xiàn)填入disliked符合文意:“近一半的全職媽媽不喜歡自己不賺錢(希望能自己出去工作賺錢)!惫蔬xM。
43.D
語法判斷:空格前是a,空格后為highernumber…,所填入詞匯應可修飾比較級,所以應為副詞。語義判斷:備選項中副詞只剩下slightly,填入它也符合本句句意:“在孩子不滿三歲的女性中,略多比例的人說她們希望能出去工作而不是待在家里——不過最好是兼職。”故選D。
44.E
語法判斷:空格前是workingupthe career,空格后為fasterthantheyhave everdone,空格后的比較級從語法上判斷很完整,所填入的詞匯應與前文相關。
語義判斷:workupthecareerladder為慣用搭配,從字面來看是“在職業(yè)階梯上向上爬”,實際即指“晉升”。本句意為:“如今的女性畢業(yè)后就業(yè)的前景不錯,職業(yè)晉升速度比以往更快!
45.N
語法判斷:空格前是there has to be more,空格后為between the roles of men and women?崭窈蟮慕Y構從語法上判斷很完整,所填入詞匯應與前文相關,應為名詞。
語義判斷:備選項中的名詞還有:connection、prospect、plan和fluidity。本句意為:“這意味著戀愛時以及有了孩子之后,男女角色的分工要更加具有__________!眆luidity意為“靈活性”,填入此處符合句意。
