问题     Commuters have a 40 per cent greater risk of ending up divorced, according to a university study.
     【C1】_____ you are reading this on your way to work, your marriage may already be 【C2】_____. Those who spend a long time on trains or 【C3】_____ in cars shuttling to the office are 【C4】_____ to 40 per cent more likely to 【C5】_____ from their spouse. The risk is highest in the first few years when the dream 【C6】_____the daily grind.
    Experts said that if one partner spends 45 minutes or more commuting they would come home too tired to help around the house. This would create a breeding ground for 【C7】_____ that would leave the other person feeling like they are being taken for 【C8】_____.
    The Swedish study looked at 【C9】_____ data from two million Swedish 【C10】_____. The researchers from Umea University 【C11】_____ the figure of 45 minutes as the kind of commute which could do damage 【C12】_____ relationships.
    They found that in families where the man commutes, the woman is often forced to take a 【C13】_____ qualified job closer to home, which means both less money 【C14】_____ a larger share of the family responsibility.
    Jean Hannah Edelstein, a 【C15】_____ expert, said that unless both partners are commuting, then the commuting partner is going to be 【C16】_____ a lot of the time.
    "This means they have less time to help out with the 【C17】_____ chores. The commuting partner might feel like he shouldn’t have to 【C18】_____ equal responsibility around the home 【C19】_____ he’s putting in the long hours back and 【C20】_____ to work."
【C1】
选项 A、Although
B、While
C、Whether
D、If
答案D
解析 考查语义逻辑。该句前半部分提及“______你在上班途中读这篇文章”，后半部分说“你的婚姻可能已经有麻烦了”。although表示让步关系，whether表示“是否；不管……(还是……)”，这两项均不符合句义；前后两个动作也不可能同时发生，故while也不能选；答案为D，表示假设。
