(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、melodious
B、remarkable
C、mercurial
D、resistant
答案
B
解析
melodious悦耳的;旋律优美的、remarkable值得注意的;显著的;非凡的、mercurial易变的;活泼的、resistant抵抗的,反抗的。本题是一道语意逻辑推导题。本题所在句是第一段(首段)的结论句,是第一段的总括。本段讲述阿拉伯世界争论女权问题并且在女性权力方面开始让步。由此可以推断:阿拉伯世界有关女性权力的争论本身是一次非凡的(remarkable)事件。故本题的正确答案应该是"remarkable"(非凡的;值得注意的)。
