参考答案B
解析:本题是顺接关系题。该空格出现在第七段,也要求填入一个完整的段落。空格前面谈到威廉姆斯对赌场的控诉,明明知道赌徒已经“不可救药地沉溺于赌博”仍然故意“引诱”(lure)他“做出违背自己意愿(will)的行为”。空格后引出一个新话题介绍“病态赌博行为”的一个定义。按照逻辑关系,空格处的内容应与上一段或下一段相关。浏览各选项,可以发现,选项B中“…what luring was required…was his will operative”再次出现了关键词“lure”和“will”,对前面的内容进一步作了补充和说明,且提出问题让下一段回答,正好起到了承上启下的作用。F项虽然也再次出现了前一句的“will”,但“用医学的方法来处理行为问题”与前一段语义上不衔接,故排除。G项提到了“compul-sive behavior”,但其中的新话题“在线赌博”也与上文不衔接。

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. "This is puzzling", she said. "Most of the workforce is still male, so why do we still spend so much time looking at women? The health of men as well as women should be of concern. "
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.
