问题     For to be a woman is to have interests and duties, raying out in all
directions from the central mother-core, like spokes from the hub of
a wheel. The pattern of our lives is essentially circling. We must be (1)______
opened to all points of the compass, husband, children, friends, home, com- (2)______
munity; we must be stretched out, exposed, sensible like a spider’s web to (3) ______
each breeze that blows, to each call that comes. How difficult it is for us,
then, to achieve a balance in the mid of these contradictory tensions, and yet (4)______
how necessary for the proper function of our lives. (5)______
    With a new awareness, both painful and humorous, I begin to under
stand why saints were rarely married women. I am convinced it has nothing
inherent to do, as I once supposed, with chastity or children. It has to do (6)______
primarily with distractions. The bearing, rearing, feeding and educating of
children; the running of a house with its thousand details; human relation
ships with their myriads pulls—woman’s normal occupations in general run (7)______
against to creative life, or contemplative life, or saintly life. The problem is (8)______
not merely one of Woman and Career, Woman and the Home, Woman and
Independence. It is more basically how to remain wholly in the midst of (9)______
the distractions of life; how to remain balanced, no matter what centrifugal
forces tent to pull one off the center; and how to remain strong, no matter
whatever shocks come in at the periphery and tend to crack the hub of the wheel. (10)______
(8)
选项
答案against—counter或to—/
解析 against作为介词可直接接名词词组，因此这里须删掉介词to，或者将against改为介词counter，后接to。两个词组意思相近都表示“与……相悖”。
