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.
【M4】
选项
答案a man前面加上while。
解析 本题辨析从属连词。分句she will be thought bright和分句a man will be called a yes-man or an ass-licker之间是对比的关系，要用表示对比的连词连接。一般来讲，逗号可以连接两个并列的词组，但是不能取代连词直接连接两个分句。在英语中，可以代替连词连接分句的标点符号有冒号和分号。
