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.

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.

Never before have women’s rights in the Arab world been so (19)_____ debated. That (20)_____ is cause to rejoice.
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)。
