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.

选项
A、aware
B、supportive
C、wary
D、indicative
答案
C
解析
aware意识到;知道的、supportive支持的;赞同的、wary谨防的;唯恐的;警惕的,谨慎的、indicative标志的;象征的;暗示的。本题是一道语意逻辑推理题。本题空白处前面是主语"未经人民选举的国家领导人";本题空白处后面是"可能导致这些国家领导人倒台的改革"。由此可以推断出:"未经人民选举的国家领导人"对"可能导致自己垮台的改革"一定是持恐慌和警惕的态度。故本题的正确答案应该是"wary"(唯恐的,警惕的)。
