问题     When Carly Fiorina became Hewlett-Packard’s first female chief executive officer, the existence of her househusband, Frank Fiorina, who had retired early from AT&T to support her career, was a mini-sensation (小轰动); now this arrangement isn’t【S1】______at all. Seven of the 18 women who are【S2】______CEOs of Fortune 500 companies—including Xerox’s Ursula Burns and PepsiCo’s Indra Nooyi—have, or at some point have had, a stay-at-home husband. So do scores of【S3】______CEOs of smaller companies and women in other senior executive jobs.
    This role change is【S4】______more and more as women edge past men at work. Women now【S5】______a majority of jobs in the US, including 51.4 percent of managerial and professional【S6】______, according to US Census Bureau data. Some 23 percent of wives now earn more than their husbands. And this earnings trend is more dramatic among younger people.

D) currently L) primary
E) elementary M) recession

【S10】
选项
答案N
解析 空格处所在的句子是由who引导的定语从句，前面的who作主语，空格后面是动词短语care for，此处缺少副词作状语，句子表达的意思为：“照看5岁以下孩子的男性数量从1988年的19％上升到2010年的32％”。句中已出现固定时间，备选项中的currently意为“当前，现时”，放入句中造成前后矛盾；regularly意为“定期地，有规律地”，符合句意，因此为本题答案。
