Homosexuals (同性恋)
Many homosexuals prefer to be called gay or, for woman, lesbian. Most of them live quiet lives just (51) anyone else. Some gay people have always raised children, (52) or with partners, and the use of artificial insemination (人工受精) is increasing among lesbians.
Gay persons are in every kind of job. Some are very open about their homosexuality, and some are more private. Some (53) their sexual orientation as a biological given and others as a choice. For those women who see it as a choice, one reason often given is the inequality in most heterosexual (异性恋的) relationships.
Homosexuality has been common in most cultures throughout history and generally (54) . As a result, homosexual activity became a crime, (55) which the penalty in early courts was death. Homosexual behavior is still (56) in many countries and the United States.
Homosexuality later came to be viewed widely as less a sin than a sickness, but now no mental health professional (具有从业资格的人) any longer (57) homosexuality an illness. More recent theories to (58) for homosexuality have included those based on biological and sociological factors. Today, (59) , there is no conclusive general theory that can explain the cause of homosexuality.
Attitudes (60) homosexuality began to change in the second half of the 20th century. Gays attribute this, in part, to their own struggle for their rights and pride in their orientation.

选项
A、pass
B、ban
C、discontinue
D、cancel
答案
A
解析
本题考查的是动词的使用与辨析以及对文章上下文逻辑关系的掌握。本句说“90年代初期,有相当多的呼声反对同性恋并试图……法律不许将基本民权给予同性恋者”。这里关键的是要弄清是否存在过这样的法律。根据常识以及本文前面的叙述,几乎可以推断,这种法律并未存在过。因此B项ban(禁止、取缔),C项discontinue(中止)和D项cancel(废除)均不可能,且与前面所说的反对同性恋的呼声相矛盾,故只有A项pass(通过)是最佳答案。故选A。
