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 [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
A
解析
puzzled,语义题。因look是系动词,后可跟形容词、名词、表语从句等,而从and连接的hurt(受伤的)一词可判断此处应当填入形容词。而动词的-ed,-ing形式也具有形容词功能,易混淆的是puzzled“迷惑的”,shocked“震惊的”。根据上下文句意,男子因说自己的妻子在家是话痨而引起众人大笑,为此他感到不解,而不是“震惊”,故选puzzled。
