问题     "What About the Men?" was the title of a Congressional briefing last week timed to【B1】______National Work and Family Month. "What about them?" you may be【B2】______to yell.
    When Ellen Galinsky, president of the Families and Work Institute, first went out on the road to talk about her organization’ s research into men’ s work-family【B3】______, she received many such grumpy responses. Work-life experts laughed at her. Men are【B4】______, they said. They don’ t have the right to complain. That was in 2008, before the Great Recession had hit. And this year, when Galinsky went out on the road again to talk about the results of a new study on male work-life conflict, she got a very【B5】______response. Some men became very【B6】______. They felt they didn’ t have permission to feel【B7】______. " ’ This is what I think about each and every day, ’ " she recalled another man telling her. " ’ I didn’ t realize that anyone else did,’ " he said. " He thought he was alone," Galinsky told me.
    【B8】______men are【B9】______work-family conflict isn’ t new. Indeed, it’ s been some time now that they—and younger men in particular—have been complaining of feeling the【B10】______in even greater numbers of women. Failure,【B11】______, uncertainty, the【B12】______that comes from spending a lifetime playing one game【B13】______, mid-way through, that the rules have suddenly changed, seem to have【B14】______the old categories of self, work and meaning for many men.
    Is this a bad thing? I’ d rather see it as a moment ripe【B15】______possibility. " A new beginning," said Ellen Galinsky. After all, what men are starting to say sounds an awful lot like the conversational stirrings that【B16】______the way for the modern women’ s movement.
    For some years now, sociologists have been tracking the patterns of what they call【B17】______in men and women’ s lives. Mostly, when we think of this, we tend to focus【B18】______how they live, what they do, how they spend time, whether they do or do not empty the dishwasher or care for their children. But what about how they feel? Now that this final frontier is being breached, I wonder if we aren’ t fully prepared to see more meaningful change in men’ s—and women’ s and families’—lives than ever before. That is: if we can【B19】______the change and act【B20】______it with courage, not fear.
【B4】
选项 A、benefited
B、destined
C、privileged
D、favored
答案C
解析 前文提到，当Ellen Galinsky在2008年第一次谈到“男性工作和家庭冲突”时，有很多专家嘲笑她。他们说，“Men are 4 ．．．They don’t have the right to complain．”男性没有权利在工作和家庭矛盾这一问题上抱怨。[A]benefited意思是“受惠”，往往只用在主动语态中，sth．benefit sb．或者sb．benefit from sth．，因此句法上不符合。[B]destined意思是“命中注定的”，sb．be destined for sth．／to do sth．意思是“某人注定要做某事”。填在横线处，不符合句义。[C]privileged意思是“有特权的，享受特权的”，可在句中直接作表语，sb．beprivileged意思是“某人是享有特权的”，填在横线处，符合句法和句义。[D]favored意思是“偏爱的”，在搭配上只能放在名词前作前置定语，例如my favored singer，“我偏爱的歌手”，或者用在sth．／sb．be favored by sb．这样的句型中。因此，[D]在句法上也不符合。
