England has long been the jurisdiction(辖区)of choice for wives who have the luxury of being able to choose where they divorce. English law tries to【C1】______lifelong need and fairness. The poorer partner—【C2】______a wife bringing up children—can expect housing and many years of income, especially if she has【C3】______her career for the marriage.
A court ruling on February 23rd has nonetheless continued a recent【C4】______of turning the scales a little for husbands. Tracey Wright objected to her ex-husband’s bid to cut her £ 75,000 annual【C5】______, awarded after an 11-year marriage failed in 2008. She argued that she was too busy with the two children even to look for work. She lost, on【C6】______. Lord Justice Pitchford said Mr. Wright’s payments should drop off as he neared retirement and that his ex-wife should get a job.
The ruling is a【C7】______landmark chiefly because it sets out a mother’s duty at least to have to seek a job as her children grow older. As David Hodson, a specialist lawyer, notes, that principle has long applied to poor women when it comes to【C8】______welfare benefits. But an ex-wife will still be able to argue that no【C9】______work is available for her and that she needs her ex-husband’s help in order to keep up her own and her children’s living standards. Such arguments would【C10】______little ice in most other countries.
A)appeal I)provide
B)balance J)purpose
C)claiming K)sacrificed
D)currently L)suitable
E)cut M)suspended
F)decent N)trend
G)legal O)typically
H)maintenance
【C10】
选项
答案
E
解析
分析句子结构可知,空格所在句子缺少谓语成分,且空格前为would,故应填入动词原形作句子的谓语。上文提到,某位前妻仍能打着没有合适工作的旗号,借此向前夫索要赡养费以保证她和孩子们的生活水平,且本文所讲的是英格兰的情况,因此可以推知接下来要说的是这种理由在其他大多数国家都不起什么作用。故空格处应填入cut“切割,削减”,构成短语cut little ice,意为“不起什么作用”。
