Women already(1)______the majority of university graduates in the OECD countries and the majority of(2)______workers in several rich countries, including the United States. Women(3)______ many of the world’s great companies, from Pepsi Co in America to Areva in France. Women’s(4)______empowerment is arguably the biggest social change of our times.

Societies that try to(10)______ this trend-most notably the Arab countries, but also Japan and some southern European countries—will pay a heavy price in the form of wasted talent and frustrated citizens.
This revolution has been(11)______ with only a modicum of friction. Men have,(12)______, welcomed women’s invasion of the workplace,(13)______even the most positive changes can be incomplete or unsatisfactory. This particular advance comes with two stings.

They are also paid significantly less than men(16)______average. The second is that juggling work and child-rearing is difficult.

But the biggest losers are poor children—(18)______in places like America and Britain that have(19)______high levels of female(20)______in the labour force with a reluctance to spend public money on child care.

选项
A、combined
B、advocated
C、disagreed
D、halted
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。这句话的后半句中介词with是解题的关键。combine…with…表示“与……结合,兼具”,这里表示美国和英国一方面鼓励女性积极参与社会工作,另一方面又不情愿在儿童保健方面提供更多的社会资助。所以选[A]。
