Even the Saudis—or rather, the small number of men who actually rule their troubled country—are giving ground in the struggle for women’s rights. For sure, the recommendations (1)_____ this week to Crown Prince Abdullah at the end of an (2)_____ round of "national dialogue" concentrating on the role of women were fairly tame. In the reformers-versus-reactionaries (3)_____ test of whether women should be allowed to drive cars (at present they cannot do so in the kingdom, nor can they travel unaccompanied, by whatever (4)_____ of motion), the king was merely asked to" (5)_____ a body to study a public transport system for women to facilitate mobility". (6)_____ mention, of course, of the right to vote—but then that has been (7)_____ to men too, though local elections, on an apparently universal franchise, are supposed to be held in October. In sum, it is a tortoise’s progress. But the very fact of the debate happening at all is (8)_____—and hopeful.
It is not just in Saudi Arabia that more rights for women are being demanded (9)_____ across the whole of the Arab and Muslim world. The pushy Americans have made women’s rights part of their appeal for greater democracy in (10)_____ they now officially call the "broader Middle East", to include non-Arab Muslim countries such as Iran, Turkey and even Afghanistan.

选项
A、vicinity
B、collaboration
C、appeal
D、flattery
答案
C
解析
vicinity附近;邻近、collaboration协作,合作、appeal呼吁;恳请、flattery奉承;恭维话。本题是一道全文中心主旨扩展题。全文从头至尾讲权力的问题(包括女权的问题)。另外,本题空白处后面又是"for more democracy"(更大的民主)之含义。由此可以推断出本题的正确答案应含有"尽力争取"之意。可见本题的正确答案应该是"appeal"(呼吁)。
