They are regarded as chores by both sexes, but fall disproportionately on only one. The latest survey of time use in America suggests women still【C1】______most of the housework, spending on average an hour a day scrubbing, hoovering and shopping,【C2】______with barely 20 minutes for the unfairer sex.
Standard【C3】______for this division of labour【C4】______on the pay gap between the sexes. A recent report shows women【C5】______earn about 20% less than men in America Couples can maximise earnings【C6】______the lower-paid(usually female)partner does the【C7】______work at home. But in a new paper Leslie Stratton of Virginia Commonwealth University asks【C8】______different attitudes to housework also play a【C9】______in sharing the dusting.
Mr Stratton draws on data from the Time Use Survey in Britain,【C10】______shows how people spent their day and which tasks they enjoyed. Attitudes certainly【C11】______: women disliked laundry less than men. Ironing was generally dreaded; weirdly large numbers of both sexes liked shopping for food.
Mr Stratton found some【C12】______for the pay-gap hypothesis. Women with higher wages did a little【C13】______work at home. A woman who earned 10% more than【C14】______ducked out of two minutes’ housework per weekday. Her partner heroically【C15】______up this time at the weekend.【C16】______his wages made no difference【C17】______the extent of his efforts around the house.
There is【C18】______in the idea that chores go to the lower-paid partner. But cause and effect are【C19】______. Do women do more【C20】______lower pay, or might their careers suffer from a disproportionate burden at home?
【C5】
选项
A、never
B、still
C、gradually
D、hardly
答案
B
解析
上一段表明女方花在家务上的时间比男方多,本段即讲到这种情况跟男女收入差距的关系。空格所在句意为“最近的一项报告表明,美国女性收入______比男性低20%”。此空后一句提到the lower-paid(usually female)partner does the...work at home“收入较低的一方(通常为女方)做家里的活”,言下之意即女方的收入通常低于男方,由此可知本题不能填表示否定的词,可先排除A项never和D项hardly。C项gradually“渐渐地,日渐”常用于表述逐步转变的过程或状态,而文中说女性挣钱比男性少约20%,这里的比较给出具体的差值(20%),并非描述一种渐变的动态过程,因此排除C项。B项still“仍然”表明女性现在的收人仍低于男性,符合上下文的语义逻辑。
