问题     If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they
have only themselves to blame. Because of they tremble at the                 S1.______
thought of being seen in public in clothes that is out of fashion,            S2.______
they are always taking advantage of by the designers. Clothes                 S3.______
which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside be-
cause of the change of fashion. A woman is usually capable of
standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and
announced sadly that she has nothing to wear.                                 S4.______
    Changing fashions are anything more than the intentional                  S5.______
creation of waste.  Many women spend vast sums of money
each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.
Women cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way waste                  S6.______
hours of their time altering the dresses they have.
    No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes any-
thing really important for society. Fashion designers are usually             S7.______
concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability.
They are only interested in outward appearance and they
take advantage of the fact which women will put up with any a-                S8.______
mount of discomfort, as far as they look right. There can hardly
be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight
of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately
picked her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.                        S9.______
    When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion,
the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly
changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflects                   S10.______
basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Do men’s unchanging
styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability?
That is for you to decide.

选项

答案去掉of

解析 第一句的前半部分是由if引导的条件状语从句,表假设,主句中的they指代前面的women; only have oneself to blame为习惯用法,意为“只能怪自己”。第二句前半部分是由because引导的原因状语从句,主句为they are…designers;because of意为“因为,由于”,后接名词或动名词,一般置于句中或句尾(如 He had to retire because of illness./She’s very upset and it’s all because of you.)不能引导从句,故将of去掉。
