问题      Women are quite often competent drivers, but they are very seldom consistently first class. At best they are a mild hazard, at【C1】______ potentially lethal.
     A wise male driver will always give them plenty of roads and still be on the lookout for the【C2】______ to happen.
     This【C3】______ has nothing to do with their lack of ability to cope with the【C4】______ complexities of the vehicles; it is due to an inherent【C5】______ which, in certain other circumstances, may be highly desirable,【C6】______ which, behind the wheel, is deadly. It is their【C7】   for talking. Women together in a car yield【C8】 ______ this need and when they talk they look into each other’s faces. Simple words are【C9】______  
     It is necessary for them to see the expression which【C10】______ the words and so read the meaning the words left unsaid.【C11】______ two women in the front of a car repeatedly【C12】______   each other’s attention from the road, and four represent an incredible danger【C13】______ the one nominally driving the car feels it necessary to see and hear not only what her companion is talking about but also, such is her【C14】______ , what those in the back are discussing in case it is anything【C15】______ which she can inject and add opinion, or in the hope of collecting fresh fuel to feed other fires on later【C16】______ .
     Another factor is that women seldom use the driving mirror except for【C17】______ purposes, after which its position gives the driver little【C18】______ of the state of the road behind.
     A final important factor that seems to lie at the back of feminine attitudes to driving is that  【C19】______ few women have the feel for a machine that so many men have; the satisfaction of a slick change down means nothing to them. The coordination between the various maneuvers (机动), an operation【C20】______ gives many men a boost of pride, is only a momentary lapse in their concentration on the topic in hand.  [br] 【C5】
选项 A、character
B、trait
C、characteristic
D、specialty
答案 C
解析 名词辨义。根据上下文，女性缺乏驾驶能力原因在于她们天生缺乏这种特有的本领。characteristic是a special quality，是指区别于其他人或其他事物的性质，通常只指一个整体的某一独特的、有代表性的方面，不涉及这一独特的方面在整体中所占的重要性。据题意可知答案为C 。
