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was
解析 考查句子结构与时态。由句子结构可知空格所在句是与其逗号后的分句并列的一个分句，而由抽象名词cleanliness与空格后名词virtue的关系来看，后者应当是修饰、说明前者的，故应填入一个系动词。而由后一分句所用的时态可知此处要用一般过去时态，因此填入was。
