2024外刊及中国日报精选改编-语法填空第一篇Japanese society：Stale and male A disorientating time for Japanese men日本男性迷失方向的时代本篇原文出自：《The Economist 经济学人》February 24th 2024【Asia】Fukushima Michihito wanted to marry his girlfriend. ______ a decade ago he fell ill, had to stop working, and ______(consequent) broke up with her. “I thought: if I can’t support my family, I shouldn’t get married,”he recalls. He later realized that many Japanese men are similarly weighed by pressure to fill the traditional male role. He now runs a “men’s hotline”in the city of Osaka, ______encourages men to discuss their ______(anxious).In Japan, relations between men and women are shifting as marriage rates decline and more women enter the workforce. But the idea that men are breadwinners remains deeply entrenched. In 2022 only 17% of eligible men took parental leave, ______(compare) with 80% of women. Japanese women spend five times longer doing chores than men. A survey in 2022 by Lean In Tokyo, an activist group, suggested that over 60% of Japanese men feel awkward at work because of pressure to behave in a manly way. In Japan, which has the ______(high) suicide rate in the G7, men are twice as likely to kill themselves as women.The hotline Mr Fukushima helps run ______(establish) in 1995. It was founded mainly in an effort to reduce domestic violence by giving anxious men an opportunity to air their grievancesto ______ discreet stranger. Since then, the hotline ______(receive) calls on an expanding range of concerns, including relationships, sexuality and work. “More men are growing tired of behaving in a manly fashion, and want to be free,”says Mr Fukushima. The government has also taken an interest ______ the problem. In 2010 it included an objective to promote “men’s counselling”in its gender equality plan. There are now over 80 counselling centres ______(offer) this service.Japan’s archetypal gender roles—the salaryman husband and stay-at-home mum—were cemented during the country’s long post-war boom. Following the oil crisis of the early 1970s, those rigid roles began to break down in many Western countries, as more and more women entered work in response______ economic stagnation and labour shortages. By contrast, Japan tried to overcome the crisis by extending men’s working hours—then by inflating the great “bubble economy”of the 1980s. While Western countries went through a “transition point”in gender relations, says Tanaka Toshiyuki, a sociologist, “Japan missed the opportunity to change.”Since the 1990s, as fears about a slumping birth rate increased and more Japanese women entered the workforce, ______(call) for men to participate in domestic work have grown. In 2010 the government tried to promote the concept of ikumen—which combines ikuji (child-rearing) and ikemen (cool men). But culture is slow to change at many companies, in part due to gerontocratic male management.The great extent to which Japanese men are encouraged to commit themselves to work isanother barrier to change. Retired workaholic men are described as a nureochibazoku, or “wet fallen leaf”, because,______(lack) hobbies or friends, they follow their wives around like a wet leaf ______(stick) to a shoe. A staple magazine article offers advice to wives suffering a severe case of “Retired Husband Syndrome”.For men, the pain of being considered a nuisance by their lifelong spouse can be immense. Mr Fukushima laments that “so many men sacrifice ______(they) for work to provide for their family—only to realize later in life that they don’t belong at home.”Mr Fukushima, who describes men’s tendency to assert their dominance as “the armour of masculinity”, ______(hope) more men will feel able to show weakness. That is still not easy. He says some men who call the hotline quickly become ______(agree), probably to hide their sense of humiliation. As for Mr Fukushima himself, when ______(ask) what he would do if he had his choice of proposing to ______ breaking up with his girlfriend again, he says he would probably still take the second course. “Even if I’m fine with the idea [of being a disempowered husband], the question is: what would she think? What would people around us think?”he says.背景知识退休丈夫综合症（Retired HusbandSyndrome）是指在日本文化中，一些妻子在丈夫退休后经历的心理和情绪压力。

原创外刊改编语法填空题打卡Day 31Indian railways have an impressive safety recordFrom: The Economist It was around 7pm on June 2nd when a train travelling from Kolkata in West Bengal to Chennai, 1,700km down India’s east coast, smashed at full speed into a parked freight train in the state of Odisha, 250km south of Kolkata. The passenger train’s coaches were derailed and collided with the rear coaches of another train travelling in the opposite direction.The trains were carrying around 2,000 people, many of _____1_____ migrants from West Bengal off to seek work in the richer south. At least 288 were killed and more than 1,100 injured, many of them gravely.The cause of the accident, the deadliest on India’s railways since 1999, when at least 290 people died in a train _____2_____ (collide) in West Bengal, was still unclear. An initial report pointed to a signal failure, _____3_____ experts suggested that would not normally lead to such a calamity. The railways minister has hinted that equipment was tampered with and ordered a _____4_____(crime) probe.Notwithstanding this disaster, rail travel is not especially dangerous in India, where some 20m people take a train every day. Of the roughly 25,000 who died in train-related accidents every year before the pandemic (a number that had changed little in a decade), most _____5_____(run) over or fell from trains. And the number of such serious incidents is decreasing. By contrast, some 300,000 people are estimated to die on India’s roads each year.Even so, the tragedy in Odisha is potentially embarrassing for the government of Narendra Modi, _____6_____(give) its great emphasis on developing India’s railways and roads. This year it plans to spend the equivalent of 1.7% of GDP on them, more than four times as much as India was spending a decade ago, and around double the proportion spent by most developed countries. Mr Modi had been due to inaugurate a new high-speed Vande Bharat service the day after the disaster. Instead he visited the crash site, where he, too, promised to find the culprit: “_____7_____ is found guilty will be punished severely”.Despite the railways’ reasonable safety record, the crash is likely to exacerbate claims that, in its push for new tracks and faster trains, his government is neglecting upgrades to existing tracks and equipment. Last year an audit of derailments by India’s comptroller-general found railway officials had not spent the budget set aside for track repairs, even though it had declined.A special fund to pay for safety improvements was not adequately replenished in any year between 2017 and 2022. Two days after the crash in Odisha, a new bridge _____8_____(build) now over the Ganges in the northern state of Bihar collapsed for the second time in just over a year, killing nobody but casting doubt on the quality of flagship construction projects.The government denies that it is skimping on safety. It notes that it has accelerated the elimination of dangerous level-crossings, particularly on lines _____9_____ trains travel at higher speeds, and begun the roll-out of an anti-crash system on some trains. _____10_____ the wake of the tragedy in Odisha, it vowed to install additional security features on signalling equipment.Indian railways have an impressive safety recordFrom: The Economist It was around 7pm on June 2nd when a train travelling from Kolkata in West Bengal to Chennai, 1,700km down India’s east coast, smashed at full speed into a parked freight tra in in the state of Odisha, 250km south of Kolkata.

Indeed,I shared an office with him, lived with his family for a while and (5) him as he travelled around the world,giving talks and collecting medals.I soon discovered some of Stephen's singular (6) .The first,of course,was that he was very smart.Students are probably always in awe of their (7) and with Stephen the awe was even greater.Indeed,on matters of physics,I always regarded him as an oracle,just a few words from him yielding(产生)insights that would have taken weeks to (8) on my own.However,Stephen was only human and not all encounters led to illumination.Once I asked a question about something that was (9) me.He thought about it silently for several minutes and I was quite (10) with myself for asking something that Stephen couldn't answer immediately.His eyes then closed and I was even more impressed with myself because he wasclearly having to think about it very deeply.Only after some time did it become clear that he had fallen asleep.Nowadays,I also sometimes fall asleep while talking to students,so I recall this incident with amusement.The other human side of Stephen is that he didn't suffer fools gladly and sometimes got annoyed.One of the stories put around is that he would vent his frustration by running over students 'toes.I'm not sure about that-he once ran over the toes of the Prince of Wales,and I'm sure that was just an accident.On the other hand,I well recall one occasion when I made a remark in the departmental common room at tea time that showed I had misunderstood what he'd been saying.Stephen screamed “No!"so loudly that his wheelchair shot back halfway across the room under the recoil.I was most impressed that a single word from him could have such (11) consequences.I also learned about Stephen's stubbornness and determination to continue doing things for himself as long as possible,despite the relentless progress of his illness.For example,because he had an office in both the department of applied mathematics and theoretical physics and the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge,I also had offices in both places.I recall that he sometimes gave me a lift(probably illegally!)between the two places in his three-wheeled invalid car.I found this rather (12) because I thought he drove faster than was ter,he had to discontinue the use of the car but he never lost his drive and the desire to travel as far and wide as possible.One regret is he didn't live long enough to achieve his dream of going into space.I'm often asked where Stephen stands in the pantheon(名流群)of great physicists.There are many ways of being a great physicist and they cannot be (13) like runners in an Olympic race.Stephen himself never (14) to have the status of Newton or Einstein, but I strongly disagree with people who suggest that his scientific contributions have been (15) because of his iconic status.His disability was clearly a factor in his becoming so famous,but I doubt any other (16) physicist will achieve the accolade of being interred next to Isaac Newton in Westminster Abbey.Stephen died on Einstein's birthday and was born on the date of Galileo's death,so it's (17) that he should be connected to his two greatest heroes in this way.I doubt Stephen would haveattributed much significance to this,but he would certainly (18) that we don't understand the mystery of time.In any case,the synchronicity is fitting because his first major discovery was that spacetime trajectories can have singular endpoints where strange things may happen.Stephen was the most (19) person I have ever known and I feel truly (20) that he was my friend.1.A.Otherwise B.Nevertheless C.Moreover D.Therefore2.A.worldwide B.popular C.evident D.neutral3.A.in process of B.on account of C.in possession of D.accounting for4.A.familiar B.acquainted C.intimate D.related5.A.accompanied B.served C.treated D.entertained6.A.habits B.habitats C.tempers D.characteristics7.A.supervisors B.inspectors C.tutors D.conductors8.A.work out B.pick out C.put out y out9.A.bothering B.puzzling C.disordering D.suffering10 A.satisfied B.delighted C.impressed D.amused11 A.distant B.dramatic C.remote D.distinct12 A.fairy B.chilly C.scary D.nasty13 A.leveled B.classified C.ranked D.awarded14 A.claimed B.appealed C.fastened D.applied15 A.outnumbered B.emphasized C.outlined D.exaggerated16 A.optimistically B.potentially C.positively D.contemporary17 A.magic B.odd C.mysterious D.procedure18 A.overtake B.promote C.confess D.acknowledge19 A.singular B.strange C.single D.simple20 A.enjoyable B.grateful C.privileged D.rewarding【答案】BCBCA DAABC BCCAD DBDAC【解析】1，根据前面一句中，我的其他导师告诉我Stephen是整个部门里最耀眼的人，后面说很快我和Stephen的关系不是一般的导师和学生之间的关系可知，作者虽然认为Stephen聪明耀眼，但是与自己关系密切，所以用让步比较合适，答案选B.2，由本段后文中可推出，我和Stephen关系密切是很明显的。
