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.

Never before have women’s rights in the Arab world been so (19)_____ debated. That (20)_____ is cause to rejoice.
选项
A、robbed
B、accused
C、relieved
D、stripped
答案
B
解析
robbed抢劫;使丧失、accused指责;指控、relieved使减轻;使解除(痛苦,忧愁等)、stripped剥去;除去;剥夺(财产、荣誉、权力、职务等)。本题是一道词汇和语意逻辑推导题。在词汇方面,考查"accuse sb of doing..."(指控某人做某事)这一固定搭配形式。在语意方面,本句中的"imperious"(专横的)一词暗示了答案:人们对于"专横者"所采取的回应一般是"指控、指责"。可见本题的正确答案是"accused"。
