In one in ten families, a house husband looks after the children and does the(39)while their female partner works full time.

Ten percent of women admitted this role (40) had put strains on their relationship and some said it had even led to them(41) company.

Victoria Harper of Grazia said,"Women are getting good jobs when they graduate, and working up the career(44)faster than they have ever done."

36．I
语法判断：本句句子结构完整，空格处所填词汇应不会对句意产生较大影响，副词的可能性最大。
语义判断：此句意为：“现在很多人不再认为家庭中丈夫就应该比妻子赚得多，——是在到处都在裁员的时候。”备选项中副词只有slightly和especially，综合考虑，“especially(尤其是)”符合题意。

37．O
语法判断：空格前是in a，空格后为shift in attitudes，故应填入形容词。
语义判断：备选项中的形容词有opposite和significant。significant意为“重大的；值得注意的”，符合本处题意，故O为正确答案。

38．A
语法判断：空格前是WOuldtake，空格后为inthe relationship，故应填入名词。
语义判断：“takeprecedence(有优先权，地位更高)”是一固定搭配，且符合本句语境，引申义即为：谁赚钱多谁就应当“说了算”。故选A。

39．L
语法判断：空格前是does me，空格后为while，故应填入名词。
语义判断：“dothe chores(做家务)”是常见搭配，且符合本句句意：“在十分之一的家庭中，是由丈夫负责照看孩子、做家务，妻子则全职工作。”
40．H

语法判断：空格前是this role，空格后为had put strains ontheir relationship。此句谓语部分已经较为完整，对主语部分的判断从语法角度无法进行。
语义判断：本句意为：“l0％的女性坦承这种角色的__________对夫妻双方的关系造成了影响”。填入“reversal(颠倒，转换)”，既符合语法，也符合句意。故选H。

41．J
语法判断：空格前是ledtothem，空格后为company，从语法角度推断出答案具有相当难度。
语义判断：本句意为：“10％的女性坦承这种角色转换对夫妻双方的关系造成了影响，有些人则说这种角色转换甚至导致了两人的__________。”由句意可知，婚姻关系中的角色转换有可能会造成婚姻关系紧张，甚至会导致两人分道扬镳。通观余下选项可以发现，“parting company(手，分道扬镳)”既合语法结构，又合句意。故选J。

42．M
语法判断：空格前是almosthalfoffull．timemothers，空格后为notearningtheirownmonev。且空格前后应构成一个完整的句子，因此应填入动词。
语义判断：备选项中的动词有favored、plan和disliked，分别代入空格处可以发现填入disliked符合文意：“近一半的全职妈妈不喜欢自己不赚钱(希望能自己出去工作赚钱)。”故选M。

43．D
语法判断：空格前是a，空格后为highernumber…，所填入词汇应可修饰比较级，所以应为副词。语义判断：备选项中副词只剩下slightly，填入它也符合本句句意：“在孩子不满三岁的女性中，略多比例的人说她们希望能出去工作而不是待在家里——不过最好是兼职。”故选D。

44．E
语法判断：空格前是workingupthe career，空格后为fasterthantheyhave everdone，空格后的比较级从语法上判断很完整，所填入的词汇应与前文相关。
语义判断：workupthecareerladder为惯用搭配，从字面来看是“在职业阶梯上向上爬”，实际即指“晋升”。本句意为：“如今的女性毕业后就业的前景不错，职业晋升速度比以往更快。”

45．N
语法判断：空格前是there has to be more，空格后为between the roles of men and women。空格后的结构从语法上判断很完整，所填入词汇应与前文相关，应为名词。
语义判断：备选项中的名词还有：connection、prospect、plan和fluidity。本句意为：“这意味着恋爱时以及有了孩子之后，男女角色的分工要更加具有__________。”fluidity意为“灵活性”，填入此处符合句意。
