In a(37) shift in attitudes, four out of ten women said that the career of whichever partner had the highest income would take(38)in the relationship.

In one in ten families, a house husband looks after the children and does the(39)while their female partner works full time.

Ten percent of women admitted this role (40) had put strains on their relationship and some said it had even led to them(41) company.

36．I
語法判斷：本句句子結(jié)構(gòu)完整，空格處所填詞匯應(yīng)不會對句意產(chǎn)生較大影響，副詞的可能性最大。
語義判斷：此句意為：“現(xiàn)在很多人不再認(rèn)為家庭中丈夫就應(yīng)該比妻子賺得多，——是在到處都在裁員的時候?！眰溥x項中副詞只有slightly和especially，綜合考慮，“especially(尤其是)”符合題意。

37．O
語法判斷：空格前是in a，空格后為shift in attitudes，故應(yīng)填入形容詞。
語義判斷：備選項中的形容詞有opposite和significant。significant意為“重大的；值得注意的”，符合本處題意，故O為正確答案。

38．A
語法判斷：空格前是WOuldtake，空格后為inthe relationship，故應(yīng)填入名詞。
語義判斷：“takeprecedence(有優(yōu)先權(quán)，地位更高)”是一固定搭配，且符合本句語境，引申義即為：誰賺錢多誰就應(yīng)當(dāng)“說了算”。故選A。

39．L
語法判斷：空格前是does me，空格后為while，故應(yīng)填入名詞。
語義判斷：“dothe chores(做家務(wù))”是常見搭配，且符合本句句意：“在十分之一的家庭中，是由丈夫負(fù)責(zé)照看孩子、做家務(wù)，妻子則全職工作。”
40．H

語法判斷：空格前是this role，空格后為had put strains ontheir relationship。此句謂語部分已經(jīng)較為完整，對主語部分的判斷從語法角度無法進行。
語義判斷：本句意為：“l(fā)0％的女性坦承這種角色的__________對夫妻雙方的關(guān)系造成了影響”。填入“reversal(顛倒，轉(zhuǎn)換)”，既符合語法，也符合句意。故選H。

41．J
語法判斷：空格前是ledtothem，空格后為company，從語法角度推斷出答案具有相當(dāng)難度。
語義判斷：本句意為：“10％的女性坦承這種角色轉(zhuǎn)換對夫妻雙方的關(guān)系造成了影響，有些人則說這種角色轉(zhuǎn)換甚至導(dǎo)致了兩人的__________?！庇删湟饪芍?，婚姻關(guān)系中的角色轉(zhuǎn)換有可能會造成婚姻關(guān)系緊張，甚至?xí)?dǎo)致兩人分道揚鑣。通觀余下選項可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，“parting company(手，分道揚鑣)”既合語法結(jié)構(gòu)，又合句意。故選J。

42．M
語法判斷：空格前是almosthalfoffull．timemothers，空格后為notearningtheirownmonev。且空格前后應(yīng)構(gòu)成一個完整的句子，因此應(yīng)填入動詞。
語義判斷：備選項中的動詞有favored、plan和disliked，分別代入空格處可以發(fā)現(xiàn)填入disliked符合文意：“近一半的全職媽媽不喜歡自己不賺錢(希望能自己出去工作賺錢)?！惫蔬xM。

43．D
語法判斷：空格前是a，空格后為highernumber…，所填入詞匯應(yīng)可修飾比較級，所以應(yīng)為副詞。語義判斷：備選項中副詞只剩下slightly，填入它也符合本句句意：“在孩子不滿三歲的女性中，略多比例的人說她們希望能出去工作而不是待在家里——不過最好是兼職?！惫蔬xD。

44．E
語法判斷：空格前是workingupthe career，空格后為fasterthantheyhave everdone，空格后的比較級從語法上判斷很完整，所填入的詞匯應(yīng)與前文相關(guān)。
語義判斷：workupthecareerladder為慣用搭配，從字面來看是“在職業(yè)階梯上向上爬”，實際即指“晉升”。本句意為：“如今的女性畢業(yè)后就業(yè)的前景不錯，職業(yè)晉升速度比以往更快?！?

45．N
語法判斷：空格前是there has to be more，空格后為between the roles of men and women。空格后的結(jié)構(gòu)從語法上判斷很完整，所填入詞匯應(yīng)與前文相關(guān)，應(yīng)為名詞。
語義判斷：備選項中的名詞還有：connection、prospect、plan和fluidity。本句意為：“這意味著戀愛時以及有了孩子之后，男女角色的分工要更加具有__________?！眆luidity意為“靈活性”，填入此處符合句意。
