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】______trouble. 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 gives way to the daily【C6】______.
    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 as well as a larger【C14】______of the family responsibility.
    Jean Hannah Edelstein, an【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."
【C4】
选项 A、as
B、up
C、down
D、about
答案B
解析 考查固定搭配。up to是固定词组，表示“多达”，后常常接具体的数字。这里是指那些要花很长时间乘车或驾车上下班的人离婚的可能性比其他人要高出40％。
