选项 _________(56)
A:given       
B:deprived
C:denied       
D:approved

答案A

解析本句是递进关系,强调本世纪的后20年,所以选B。 certainly意为“必然地”;apparently意为“明显地”;practically意为“实际上”。
towards表示变化的倾向,意为“朝······方向发展”。
上文提到本世纪的主要变化是女性享有更多与男性同样的权利。因此可以推断本世纪初与现在相比,妇女的权利要较少。所以选B。
上一句说“妇女不能投票,被关在家里”,下一句说“据我们所知,大多数妇女很高兴这样”,这显然是转折关系,所以选C。
由上文推断本句的意思应该是“英国妇女当然比过去享有更多的权利”,所以选B。 lack是“缺少”的意思;occupy是“占据”的意思。
give意为“给予”;deprive意为“剥夺”;deny意为“否认,拒绝”;approve意为“批准,通过”。由上文妇女获得权利可以推断本句的意思是“1919年,妇女被给予投票权”。因此选A。
share是“分享,共享”的意思,本句的意思是离婚时,给予妇女同样份额的财产,即夫妻分享财产。所以选D。
上一句说“1970年,法律规定在离婚时给予妇女同样份额的财产”,下一句说“同年的《同酬法案》给予妇女同工同酬的权利”,两项法律都是给予妇女权利,是并列关系,所以用表示并列关系的连词and。
because of意为“因为,由于”;instead of意为“而不是······”;in spite of意为“不管,虽然”;as a result of意为“作为······的结果”。本句的意思是“虽然有这些改变,女性与男性的地位仍然存在巨大差别”,表示让步关系,所以应选C。
由上文可以推断虽然有法律规定,但是女性与男性的地位仍然存在巨大差别,工资的差别就是其中之一,这是由于许多雇主忽视《同酬法案》,所以选C。
sb.be likely to do sth.表示可能性,意为“某人很可能做某事”,本句的意思是“做同样的工作,女性可能平均只赚男性的一半”。
according to sth.意为“根据某事”;apart from/in addition to sth.意为“除了某事”;according to a survey是“根据调查结果”的意思。
by mistake意为“错误地”;by accident意为“偶然”;in turn意为“依次,轮流”;in fact意为“事实上”。比较选项只能选D,本句的意思是:“根据一份调查,事实上,现在全国只有1/3的工人是女性。”
stem from是“来自,源于”的意思,相当于result from,本句的意思是“这么小的比例部分是由于缺乏幼儿园。”A result in B是“A导致B”的意思。
上一句提到妇女不参加工作是由于缺乏幼儿园,所以此句应为如果有足够的幼儿园。
