问题     Commuters have a 40 per cent greater risk of ending up divorced, according to a university study.
     【C1】_____ you are reading this on your way to work, your marriage may already be 【C2】_____. Those who spend a long time on trains or 【C3】_____ in cars shuttling to the office are 【C4】_____ to 40 per cent more likely to 【C5】_____ from their spouse. The risk is highest in the first few years when the dream 【C6】_____the daily grind.
    Experts said that if one partner spends 45 minutes or more commuting they would come home too tired to help around the house. This would create a breeding ground for 【C7】_____ that would leave the other person feeling like they are being taken for 【C8】_____.
    The Swedish study looked at 【C9】_____ data from two million Swedish 【C10】_____. The researchers from Umea University 【C11】_____ the figure of 45 minutes as the kind of commute which could do damage 【C12】_____ relationships.
    They found that in families where the man commutes, the woman is often forced to take a 【C13】_____ qualified job closer to home, which means both less money 【C14】_____ a larger share of the family responsibility.
    Jean Hannah Edelstein, a 【C15】_____ expert, said that unless both partners are commuting, then the commuting partner is going to be 【C16】_____ a lot of the time.
    "This means they have less time to help out with the 【C17】_____ chores. The commuting partner might feel like he shouldn’t have to 【C18】_____ equal responsibility around the home 【C19】_____ he’s putting in the long hours back and 【C20】_____ to work." [br] 【C7】
选项 A、conflict
B、hatred
C、harmony
D、difference
答案 A
解析 考查名词辨析。conflict“冲突”；hatred“仇恨”；harmony“和谐”；difference“不同”。此句中This指“一方回来早，于是负责家务；另一方在路上花费太多时间，回来没有精力做家务”这种情况，这本身就是不同之处，不应该有a breeding ground for difference之说，因此排除difference；hatred说得过于严重，不恰当。只有conflict恰当，表示这种情况会孕育“冲突”的土壤。
