问题     To be called beautiful is thought to name something essential to women’s
character and concerns. (In contrast by men—whose essence is to be strong, (1)______
or effective, or competent.) It does not need someone in the throes of femi- (2)______

选项
答案Giving — Given
解析 given一词后接名词词组可表示“考虑到，鉴于……”，相当于because of,due to，例如：Given the uncertainty over Leigh’s future I was left with little other choice．此处不能用giving来替换。另外须注意区分give和provide两词的-ed分词和一ing分词的区别：given和giving是不可替换的，然而provided和providing却可以，如：The other banks arevery eager to help，provided／providing that they see that he has a specific plan．
