单选题第55题选

本题是顺接关系题。此空格出现在第十段，要求填入一个完整的段落。空格前面主要介绍了社会现在对“病态赌博行为”的定义。空格后面则具体描述了赌博在美国的发展情况以及导致这一现象的原因。根据逻辑关系分析，空格处的内容可能会起到承上启下的作用。分析各选项，可发现，D选项的第一句内容“…a common feature of American fife…a sin，or a social disease”正好承接上文，和下文的具体例子之间也构成了总结例证的逻辑关系，其中“a sin，of a social disease”与前一句的“char-acter flaws or moral failings”相照应；第二句则引出了下一段所描述的赌博业蓬勃发展的现象，且“government”与下一段首句的“states”照应。

56) Fathers exposed to poisonous substances are probably just as likely to be the cause of de-fects in their unborn infants as mothers. Yet it is women who are told to stop drinking and smoking and to look after their health when they are pregnant. And it is women who fred that they are banned from jobs where they are exposed to harmful chemicals or radiation.57 ) Despite a growing body of scientific evidence that a man´ s exposure to damaging substances can affect his offspring,pregnant women are still charged with the responsibility of keeping their infants healthy, said Glad-ys Friedler, of the Boston University School of Medicine.

In the US,2,500,000 children are born with birth defects each year. In 60 percent of cases the origin of the defect is not known.58) These figures do not include less obvious problems that appear later in development, such as biochemical malfunctions and behavioral problems.
Many researchers still seem reluctant to contemplate that a man´ s environment can influence the health of children. "If the effects had not been so obvious, we might still be reluctant to ac-knowledge the effect of environmental agents on women. " Despite this, there is a reluctance to ac-cept the accumulated evidence of men´ s effects on development, she said.59) Some companies have already taken steps to "protect the unborn child" by excluding women from jobs where they might be exposed to dangerous substances. This has led to some bitter disputes between the women and their employers in the US. The most famous case, now before the Supreme Court, pits a group of women and their union against Johnson Controls, a company which makes batteries.60 ) The company transferred women from higher-paying jobs where they were exposed to lead on the grounds that it had to protect unborn children. The irony is that children born to men working in the factory are probably just as much at risk.
