参考答案: C
参考解析: 从语法上分析，动名词pubishing应是将要填入空白处的动词的宾语，四个选项中只有began后面可以有动名词作宾语，且符合上下文意思，故它是最佳答案。
动词charge的用法是charge sb. with sth.（指控某人有某种罪行或错误），故应选A项。但要注意，如果用动词accuse，则应是accuse sb. of sth.，两者词义相同，但使用的介词不同。
四个选项中只有C项才符合上下文意思，即“包括生育控制和避孕手段等内容的性资料”，其他三个选项都不合适。
爱意空白处前面有个让步状语从句，因此主句所叙述的内容一定与它的逻辑推理相反，从这个意义上讲，只有选项C和D可供选择，但选项C如果用于“一直不断”这个词义时，后面应该接doing sth.，即keep doing sth.，不能keep to do sth.；而选项D，既可 continue doing sth.，又可continue to do sth.，故应选D。虽然选项B也可以start doing sth．和start to do sth.，但与上下文意思不符，因为她在此之前曾经为此被指控过了。
填此空白时要注意本段后面所叙述的内容，显然国会这次修改法律是放松了控制，因此可排除选项A和C。另外，国会放松控制，也不至于自己散发、宣传，故选项B也不合适。只有选项D能体现出放松控制的内容，故选D。
填此空白时要注意国会已经修改法律放松控制这一背景，因此有的州仍然坚持严格控制，其合宪性自然要受到怀疑，加上本句中的“but”或多或少起到提示作用，故选项 A为最佳选择，其他选项均不合适。
填这个空时，首先要考虑四个选项中哪一个动词的宾语可以使用that引导的从句，其次再看看哪个符合上下文意思。knew（知道）,suspected (，坏疑）和held（认为）都符合第一项的要求，但填上knew和suspected与上下文意思不符，故只有C项合适。虽然A 项permitted (允许）符合上下文意思，但它不能使用that引导的从句作宾语。
在四个选项中只有C项“than ever before”才是正确表达“比以往任何时候”这个意思，其他选项都是错误的。
本句中but表示转折语气，四个选项中A项是最合适的，其他三个选项的词义与上下文风马牛不相及。
在所列举的四个选项中，只有A项和C项可以与动词lead搭配构成短语，lead sb. on意为“率领某人继续前进”，这时lead为及物动词，后面须有宾语，on是副词；而lead to…意为“导致”，这时lead为不及物动词，to为介词，因此，此项C无论从语法上还是意义上都最合适。
从语法上分析，worse是形容词比较级，其前面可有一个表示程度的副词作状语。在四个选项中，A项more不能与比较级连用;B项和C项意思相同，adequately = enough，也不能与比较级连用；只有D项considerably( = much)从语法上和词义上都最合适。
回答此题时，只要注意前面已有形容词bad的比较级worse时，就会很容易选择 than构成比较。
答此题时也要注意，上一句已经将美国与其他发达国家作了比较，本句是上句的延续，因此可以很容易选择developed为答案。developed countries：发达国家；developing countries：发展中国家。
在四个选项中，只有C项和D项可以跟介词to连用，而A项和B项则应与介词 with连用。be related to…：与……有关；be loyal to…：忠实于……。根据上下文意思，还是D项合适。
回答此题时，如果将本句已经提供的信息内容与上一句进行比较，就可以发现两句所表达的观点是相反的，因此四个选项中只有C项的counters（反驳）才是最佳答案，因为同一份研究绝不会提出两个截然相反的观点。
