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] 【C1】
选项
答案
L
解析
上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词。下文紧接着反映出两点信息:
(1)某男子在人群中高谈阔论“frequently offering ideas and anecdotes”;
(2)他的妻子则安静地坐在他一旁“while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch”,两句话由表示转折的连接词while连接,两者形成鲜明对比,故答案是talkative(健谈的)。
