They are regarded as chores by both sexes, but fall(1)_____ on only one. The latest survey of time use in America suggests women still(2)_____ most of the housework, spending on average an hour a day scrubbing, hoovering and shopping,(3)_____ barely 20 minutes for the unfairer sex.
Standard(4)_____ for this division of labour (5)_____ the pay gap between the sexes. A recent report shows women(6)_____ earn about 20% less than men in America. Couples can maximise earnings(7)_____ the lower-paid(usually female)partner does the(8)_____ work at home.

(1)
选项
A、indefinitely
B、unaccountably
C、disproportionately
D、unconsciously
答案
C
解析
前半句说家务活应该由男女分担,紧接着用but来表示转折,推断家务活都落到其中一方身上,disproportionately“不成比例地”符合语义要求。indefinitely“不确定地”;unaccountably“不可解释地”;unconsciously“无意中”。
