问题     Perhaps (31) are far more wives that I imagine who take it for (32) that housework is neither satisfying nor even important once the basic demands of hygiene and feeding have been (33). But home and family is the one realm in (34) it is really difficult to shake free of one’s upbringing and create new values. My parents’ house was impeccably kept; cleanliness (35) a moral and social virtue, and personal untidiness, visibly old clothes, or long male hair provoked biting jocularity. If that (36) been all, maybe I could have adapted myself (37) housework on (38) easygoing, utilitarian basis, refusing the moral overtones but still believing in it as something constructive (39) it is part of creating a home. But at the same time my mother used to resent (40) it, called it drudgery, and convinced me that it wasn’t lit activity for an intelligent being.
    I was the only child, and once I was at school there was no (41) why she should have continued (42) her will to remain housebound, unless, as I suspect, my father would not hear of her having a job of her own.
    I can now begin to understand why a woman in a small suburban house, with no infants to look (43), who does not (44) reading because she has not had much of an education, and who is intelligent (45) to find neighborly chit-chat boring, should carry the pursuit of microscopic specks of dust to the (46) of fanaticism in an (47) to fill hours and salvage her self-respect. My parents had not even the status-seeking impetus to send me to university that Joe’s had; my mother (48) me to be "a nice quiet person who wouldn’t be noticed (49) a crowd", and it was feared that university education (50) in ingratitude (independence).

选项
答案against
解析 考查介词用法。由前文的说明可以看出，作者的母亲是反对做家务的；而由句子结构可知，这里要么填入一个动词的-ing形式，要么填入一个介词。又由句意可知这里应指她违背自己的意愿，故填入表示"反对"的介词against。
