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.

选项
A、offence
B、collapse
C、disaster
D、passivism
答案
A
解析
offence冒犯;得罪、collapse崩溃;瓦解、disaster灾难、passivism被动(性);消极态度。本题是一道语意逻辑推导题。本句的大意是:"世界八大工业国家的领导人所发表的有关阿拉伯世界更大程度民主的呼吁减弱了,其原因是担心产生冒犯"。本句已暗示出正确答案:一国对别国的指手画脚通常导致"反感;得罪;冒犯"。由此可以推导出本题的正确答案应该是"offence"。
