That: is, they may treat boys more roughly and girls more gently. Adults【37】boys for being strong and girls for being pretty and quiet. They【38】independence in boys and dependence in girls.

选项 A、owing
B、equal
C、contrary
D、similar

答案C

解析 本题从语篇层面考查形容词辨析。四个选项都可以和介词to构成短语,分别为:owing to“由于”;equal to“与……一样”;contrary to“与……相反”;similar to“与……相似”。从上文中人们对不同性别孩子态度及后半句“同性之间人的差别比不同性别的人的差别还要大。”可以看出,这个发现是不符合大多数人的想法的,故本题应选contrary,表示“与……相反”。
