【参考译文】
一项大型调查显示,英国近三分之一的女性是家中主要的经济支柱。
研究人员称,现在很多人不再认为家庭中丈夫就应该比妻子赚得多,[26]尤其是在到处都在裁员的
时候。
女性对这个问题的态度也发生了[27]重大的转变,四成女性认为夫妻双方谁赚钱多谁就应当[28]说了算。
在十分之一的家庭中,是由丈夫负责照看孩子、做[29]家务,妻子则全职工作。
10%的女性坦承这种角色的[30]转换对夫妻双方的关系造成了影响,有些人则说这种角色分工甚至导致了两人的[31]分手。
由《红秀》杂志委托开展的 “2014年女性和职业调查”发现,近一半的全职妈妈[32]希望能自己出去工作赚钱。
在2000名受访女性中,三分之二的人说她们想要在生孩子后还能继续工作。
在孩子不满三岁的女性中,[33]略多比例的人说她们希望能出去工作而不是待在家里 ——不过最好是兼职。
《红秀》杂志的维多利亚 ·哈柏说:“如今的女性毕业后就业的前景不错,[34]职业晋升速度比以往更快。”
这意味着如今家庭中的男女角色分工要更加[35]灵活,有了孩子以后更是如此。
【答案解析】
语法判断:本句句子结构完整,空格处所填词汇应不会对句意产生较大影响,副词的可能性最大。
语义判断:此句意为: “现在很多人不再认为家庭中丈夫就应该比妻子赚得多, 是在到处都在裁员的时候。”备选项中副词只有slightly和especially,综合考虑,“especially(尤其是)”符合题意。
