问题     The way our society is structured affects all human relationships. Outside the home We have a system of power relationship: worker/employer, individual/state, etc, and most people feel particularly powerless if their specific situation is beyond their control. The resultant stresses need outlets.
    There are many different outlets. Many of us are inclined at least sometimes to take out our frustration on people nearest to us. The kind of destructive(毁灭性的)outlet that a woman uses may be physical-either against her husband or children but more often it is directed towards her children who cannot walk out. Commonly, women turn violent feelings inwards: twice as many women as men suffer from depression. Women are the most vulnerable (易受伤的)to depression. As far as men are concerned, they have been brought up to use their fists-and even encouraged to do so. So a man’s outlet can, in its extreme form, involve physical violence against his wife and family. Many women have no way to escape: they cannot easily leave home. Compared with men, women are relatively powerless.
    Women are expected to look after their children. Many women are consequently totally dependent on their husbands’ incomes, or earn a little money at parttime, low-paid jobs. Fathers, on the other hand, are not seen by society as responsible for the care of their children. A man can still drink all his earnings if he wishes. One of the reasons some women put up with beating for so long is because they are concerned about how they could bring up the children with little money on their own if they left. Often, women finally leave only when they fear that their children are themselves in physical or mental danger from their fathers.
Women would not put up with beating and chose to leave home if ____________.
选项
答案they could be financially independent或they were financially independent
解析 推理题。关键词put up with beating和leave出现在第三段的最后二句。文中说women长期忍受的原因是concerned about how they could bring up the children with little money。而题干设计成虚拟语气，即在什么情况下women不能忍受，那么当然是在上述原因不成立的情况下，也就是they could be financially independent。 could be也可以用were代替。
