Regardless of their political affiliation, in all countries women must overcome a host of stumbling blocks that limit their political careers. “Most obstacles to progress consist of __(1)__ of various kinds,” says the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), a Geneva-based organization __(2)__ 139 parliaments, including the lack of time, training, information, self-confidence, money, support, motivation, women’s networks and solidarity between women.

The IPU stresses the general tack of child-care facilities—often __(10)__ a privileged few—the __1l__ of political parties to change the times and running of meetings and the weak backing women receive from their families.

Another obstacle is the lack of financial resources, especially as election campaigns become increasingly expensive. __(16)__, women encounter more or less open machismo in the __(17)__ of closed political circles __(18)__ entry to the “second sex”.

本文主要介绍了一些阻碍妇女政治生涯的因素。文章首先列举了一些阻碍妇女政治生涯的因素，如缺乏时间、培训、自信等等。接着文中又指出偏见和陈规定式也是阻碍妇女进入政坛的原因。文章的最后提到的障碍就是缺乏财政资源和妇女之间缺乏团结。
参考答案及解析
1.A 根据文章主题和下文的关键词lack，选择A。deficiency“缺乏、不足”，其他不合文
意。deficit“赤字、逆差”。defect“缺点、缺陷”。flaw“瑕疵”。
2.C IPU包括139个立法机构，所以选comprising“包括、构成”，其他表达方式如：
comprise＝be comprised of=consist of=be composed of＝be made up of。其他不合文意或用法。A. embracing“包括在学科或讨论中”；B. composing“组成，构成”，常用被动形式，be composed of；D. constituting“组成、构成”，该句应为“139 parliaments constitute the IPU”。
3.D 偏见和陈规定式难以根除，所以选D。die hard意为“顽固得很、难以根除”。其他
不合搭配或文意。A. persist“坚持、持续”；B. vanish“消失”；C. revive“恢复、

4.A bear/hold sway（over）作为短语意为“统治、支配、有左右的力量”，其他不合文
意或搭配。B. hold water常用于否定形式，意为“站不住脚”；C和D不符合搭配。译文：“妇女的职位应该在厨房和跟孩子们在一起，而不是参加选举集会或站在发言席上，这种观念仍然占统治地位。”
5.A 妇女应该跟孩子们在一起，所以选A. belong可以与介词构成短语，意为“属于”，
如：belong at/to/in/on/with等，不同介词的意思有所不同，而介词的选择取决于后面的名词。
6.D rallies“与政治相关的集会”，符合上下文的意思。election rallies“选举集会”，因
此排除其他选项。A. assemblies“大规模的集会、集合”；B. conventions“正式的大会”；C. associations“协会、团体”。译文见4题。
7.B bear the brunt of“在…之中、首当其冲”，如：bear the brunt of the blame“成
为众矢之的”；bear the brunt of attacks“受到攻击、抨击”。从政的妇女受到语言和人身的攻击，所以选attacks“攻击、抨击”。其他选项不合文意。A. penalties“惩罚、处罚”，如：pay the penalty for“为…受处罚”； C. tortures“折磨”；D. abuses“侮辱、谩骂”。C和D用词程度过于严重。
8.D 贫穷国家饱受国内冲突和不断恶化的经济社会状况的折磨，所以选racked“使痛苦、
折磨”，如：be racked with doubt and pain“满腹疑虑，痛苦万分”。其他选项不合文意。A. penetrated“渗入、穿透”；B. compressed“浓缩、压缩”；C. intensified“加剧、加强”。
9.A 妇女受家庭事务的羁绊，只有A. strap“捆扎”，符合文意。B. bandaged“用绷带扎
缚”；C. restrained“抑制、制止做不好的事”，常用搭配：restrain sb. from doing；
