问题     "I find it really attractive how successful you are," my date said, leaning in for a kiss.
    Sure, it sounds like a line. But it also sounds like feminism. It certainly made him more appealing than the guy who said, "Wow, you’re really ambitious," like he was surprised. Or the one who asked, "Why do you work so much?" and "Why would you want to work even more?" when I was angling for a promotion.
    It didn’t work out with any of those men, but going out with them made it all the more obvious to me what I want a partner to be: cute, smart, funny and yes, feminist. So go ahead, alert Susan Patton, Lori Gottlieb and the rest of the get-married-already crowd: A 30-something single woman is telling other single women that they should dare to want it all if they ever hope to have it all.
    But how do you spot a male feminist if he’s not at an abortion rights rally wearing a "This Is What a Feminist Looks Like" T-shirt?
    It shouldn’t be hard. After all, as Aziz Ansari said on David Letterman’s show recently, everyone’s a feminist now. Unless you think Beyonce shouldn’t have the right to vote, should earn 23 percent less than Jay-Z and should be at home cooking rather than performing. And who would think that?
    Few guys will proudly say no when asked if they’re feminists. Instead it’s a whole-hearted yes, a not so enthusiastic maybe or can you define what you mean by "feminist", please? As one 32-year-old put it to The Washington Post Magazine last month, "I respect the movement. I’m hesitant to call myself a feminist, but I guess I wouldn’t shy away from the term."
    In other words: do we have to put a label on it? The label isn’t everything: living it is more important than saying it. But it’s a good place to start. [br] The phrase "angling for" in Paragraph Two probably means______.

选项 A、feeling sorry for
B、hinting at
C、celebrating
D、making up for

答案 B

解析 语义题。由题干定位至第二段最后一句。结合第一段中提到的“我发现你那么成功,很有吸引力。”和第二段中提到的“你为什么做这么多工作?”和“你为什么还想做更多的工作?”可知这些都是作者工作中表现出色时男友的反应,而当作者希望获得更多工作时,说明她希望获得提升,angle for的本意为“使用暗示的手段获取”,故[B]为答案。
