问题   A subtle distinction in the way women are singled out
by the language is evident in the way that the same personality 【M1】______
trait is characterized approvingly for one sex and denigrated
for the other. However, if a man is aggressive, he is considered 【M2】______
a go-getter, a serf-starter, while a woman is considered pushy
or a castrating bitch. If a woman consistently agrees to her 【M3】______
boss, she will be thought bright, a man will be called a yes-man 【M4】______
or an ass-licker.
  Many of these discrepancies involve in words that deal directly  【M5】______
or indirectly in women’s sexuality. In fact, one linguist has   【M6】______
even made the case "lady" is used as a euphemism for 【M7】______
"woman," in that "woman’’ implies at sexuality, while "lady" 【M8】______
is desexed. Certainly, "woman" is a word that can imply the
presence not only of sex, but also of power, which "lady" cannot.
A lady doctor or Ladies’ Lib would simply be incongruous.
Although women are used harshly by language, they are not in
their own turn allowed to using harsh language. Women’ s language   【M9】______
in English, at least according to stereotype, does not contain
swear words. Robin Lakoff distinguished another character   【M10】______
of women’s speech, the tag-form sentence: a statement of fact
undercut by a final question. "We are going tomorrow, aren’t we?"
"This is a terrific play, isn’t it?" Even when a woman is assertive,
she often shows token of apparent passivity, as ff all her assertions
were only tentative.
【M7】
选项
答案case后面加上that。
解析 本题辨析同位语分句。要能发现这个错误，就必须很好地了解同位语分句。先行词 the case和后面的分句“lady”is used as euphemism for“woman，”in that“woman”implies at sexuality， while“lady”is desexed是同位语的关系，所以必须加上引导词that。
