During the traditional wedding ceremony, the

CD#6bridal couple promises each other lifelong 【M1】______

devotion. Yet, about one out of four American

marriages ends in divorce. Since 1940, the

divorce rate has more than doubled, and

experts predict that, of all marriages that

occured in the 1970s, about【M10】% will end in 【M2】______

divorce. The USA is one of the highest divorce 【M3】______

rates in the world, perhaps even the highest.

What goes wrong? That fact that divorce is so

common in the United States does not mean that

Americans consider marriage a casual, unimportant

relationship. Just opposite is true. Americans 【M4】______

expect a great deal from marriage. They seek physical

, emotional, and intellectual compatibility.

They want to be loved deep and understood. It 【M5】______

is because Americans expect so much from

marriage that so many get divorce. They prefer 【M6】______

no marriage at all to a marriage without love

and understanding. Which typical American

optimist, they end one marriage in the 【M7】______

hope of that the next will be happier. With 【M8】______

no fault divorce laws in many states, it is

easier than never to get a divorce. Some American 【M9】______

women stay in unhappy marriages because they

do not have the education or job experience

to support themselves and their children.

But most American women believe that, ff necessary,

they can make it lonely without a 【M10】______

husband. All things considered, Americans

have little reason to continue an unhappy

marriage.

    A.provide great help in the future
    B.be responsible to care for each other

    The State of Marriage Today

    Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today?During the past 50 years,the rate of divorce in
    the United States has exploded:almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now,and the evidence suggests it is
    going to get worse.If this trend continues,it will lead to the breakup of the family,according to a spokesper-
    son for the National Family Association.Some futurists predict that in 100 years,the average American will
    marry at least four times ,and extramarital(婚外的)affairs will be even more common than they are now.
    But what are the reasons for this ,and is the picture really so gloomy(阴暗的)?The answer to the first
    question is really quite simple:marriage is no longer the necessity it once was.The institution of marriage has
    been based for years partly on economic need.Women used to be economically dependent on their
    husbands一as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home.But with the rising number of women in well-
    paying jobs,this is no longer the case,so they don't feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.
    In answer to the second question , the outlook may not be as pessimistic(悲观的)as it seems. While the
    rate of divorce has risen;the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much,so marriage is still
    quite popular. In addition to this,many couples now simply live together and don't bother to marry. These
    couples are effectively married,but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics.In fact,
    more than 50%of first marriages survive.
    So is marriage really an outdated institution?The fact that most people still get married indicates that it
    isn't. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people:they suffer less from
    stress and its consequences,such as heart problems,and married men generally consider themselves more
    contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and
    apply it to all of our relationships!

    Which of the following about marriage is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A:It is important to discover what makes a marriage successful.
    B:Marriage has long been partly an economic need.
    C:It is a fact that most people choose to get married.
    D:Many people went abroad after divorce.

    答案:D
    解析:
    由第一段可知如果离婚率持续走高的话,会导致家庭的破裂,A项错;几乎是一半人离 婚了,而不是超过一半,故B项错;是将会结四次婚,而不是现在就结四次婚,故C项错。由段中的“it is going to get worse”可知选D。
    由第二段可知,现在妇女都有报酬好的工作了,经济都已经独立了,经济问题对于她们来说已不是问题了。故选A。
    由第三段中的“marriage is still quite popular”可知,情况还没有那么糟糕,还是有很多人 愿意结婚的。故选A。
    由第四段中的“consider themselves more contented than...”可知选D。 contented意为“满 意的”。
    文中根本没有提到出国的事,故选D。

    American Wedding
    “I do.”To Americans,those two words carry great meaning.They can even change your life,especially if you say them at your own wedding.Making wedding vows is like signing a con-tract. Now Americans don't really think marriage is a business deal.But marriage is a serious business.
    It all begins with engagement.Traditionally,a young man asks the father of his sweetheart for permission to marry her. If the father agrees,the man later proposes to her. Often he tries to surprise her by“popping the question”in a romantic way.Sometimes the couple just decides to-gether that the time is right to get married. The man usually gives his francée(未婚妻)a dia- mond ring as a symbol of their engagement. They may be engaged for weeks,months or even years .As the big day approaches,their friends will provide many useful gifts.Today many cou- pies also receive advice during engagement.This prepares them for the challenges of married life.
    At last it is time for the wedding.Although most weddings follow traditions,there's still room for individualism(个人主义).For example,the usual place for a wedding is a church. But some people get married outdoors in a scenic spot.A few even have the ceremony while sky-diving or riding on horseback!The couple may invite hundreds of people or just a few close friends.They choose their own style of colors,decorations and music during the ceremony.But some things rarely change.The bride usually wears a beautiful,long white wedding dress.She traditionally wears“something old,something new,something borrowed and something blue.”The groom wears a formal suit.
    As the ceremony begins,the groom and his attendants stands with the minister,facing the audience.Music signals the entrance of the bride's attendants followed by the beautiful bride. Nervously, the young couple repeats their vows.Traditionally,they promise to love each other “for better,for worse,for richer,for poorer,in sickness and in health.”But sometimes the cou-
    pie composes their own vows.They give each other a gold ring to symbolize their marriage corn-mitment.Finally the minister announces the big moment:“I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride!”
    At the wedding reception,the bride and groom greet their guests.Then they cut the wedding cake and feed each other a bite. Later the bride throws her bouquet of flowers(花束)to a group of single girls.Tradition says that the one who catches the flower will be the next to marry.After the reception,many couples take a honeymoon,a one-to-two-week vacation trip,to celebrate their new mamage.

    Before marriage,the couple can take some courses for preparation.
    A: Right
    B: Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    文章第一段提到“Now Americans don't really think marriage is a business deal. But marriage is a serious business.”这句话中出现两个business,各自表达的意思不一样,第一个的意思是“商业、生意”,而第二个意思是“事”。这句话说明,美国人并没有把婚姻当作是一场交易,而是一件很严肃的事情。
    文章第二段提到“A young man asks the father of his sweetheart for permission to marry her.”这说明正确的程序应该是:年轻男子先要征得女方父亲的允诺,允许将女儿许配给他,如果征得同意,他才可以向女孩求婚。
    文章第三段中提到“some people get married outdoors in a scenic spot. A few even have the ceremony while sky-diving or riding on horseback!”由此我们可知,在教堂中结婚并不是唯一的方式,人们为了展现个性有时也会选择其他地点,如风景名胜或空中作为婚礼场所。
    文章没有谈到这方面的信息。文章中自始至终没有提到过订婚后两个要参加任何课程的内容。
    文章中第三段只提到了传统习惯下新娘要带的四样东西:“ something old , something new , something borrowed and something blue”即旧的、新的、借的、蓝色的。并没有包括红色的东西。
    文章没到谈到这方面的信息。文章只在第四段中提到“Music signals the entrance of the bride's attendants , followed by the beautiful bride.”可知,新娘是跟在她陪伴后出来的,具体是否由她的父亲带出来的,文章并没有涉及。
    文章第四段提到“They give each other a gold ring to symbolize their marriage commit-ment.”可知,交换金戒指象征着彼此对婚姻的承诺,所以这必然是结婚仪式中的一个环节。

    I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other. The painful reality is that love is just not enough. I"ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I"ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water. Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier—our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.From the passage we know that ().
    A

    the author complains about her parents" being too understanding

    B

    the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 years

    C

    people divorced mainly because they didn"t love each other

    D

    some people divorced because they couldn"t understand each other

    Text 3 Family caregivers provide essential,often unpaid work in the U.S.:they help family members with tasks like bathing and eating,coordinating insurance coverage and managing medications.But what a caregiver looks like in America is changing.Although the typical unpaid family caregiver is a 49-year-old white woman,about 10 million Americans between ages 18 and 34,of all different backgrounds,are now the caregivers for a family member or friend,according to a new report by AARP.One out of four family caregivers in the U.S.is a millennial.And as Baby Boomers age and need more support,this young group is becoming an increasingly important part of the caregiving workforce.More than half of millennial caregivers are now people of color,according to the report,and they are more likely than any other generation to balance caregiving with employment.Nearly three quarters of millennial caregivers are employed,according to the new report,and 53%work full time.They also spend an average of 21 hours per week on caregiving,or the equivalent of a part time job.More than one in four millennials spends over 20 hours each week providing care,and roughly one in five provides care for at least 40 hours each week."Many of these millennials are not just working and providing this care,but are trying to figure out,ihow do I balance all of this?"'says Jean Accius,an expert on long-term care services and supports at the AARP's public policy institute,which provides guides for different communities of caregivers."At this time in their life,a typical milleruual may be thinking about going on vacation,hanging out with friends and potentially getting married,but these millennials are doing things like wound care and bathing."The report finds that Latino millennials often face increased pressure,as they work more hours each week on average and spend more time providing care than young adults of other backgrounds.Some of this has to do with the fact that Hispanuc Americans are more likely to live in multi-generational households,Accius says.Tasks like navigating govemment health systems or coordinating care between multiple providers can also be particularly challenging for families that have members whose first language is not English.Another common source of stress is the impact that caregiving responsibilities can have on a person's career.54%of millennial caregivers say that caregiving has impacted their job in significant ways,according to the report.Yet millennials are much less likely to tell their supervisors or colleagues at work about their caregiving responsibilities,meaning they are often navigating alone.One sign of progress is that millennial men are nearly as likely to provide care as women,according to the report."The way that millennials think about gendered work or gendered care roles is changing,"says Whiting."The U.S.is already facing a shortage of caregivers,and the increasing gender and racial diversity of millennial caregivers will be necessary to support all those who need help in the future:'she says."We see,especially among millennials,that everybody bears some responsibility,and we need to care for each other."

    The State of Marriage Today

    Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today?During the past 50 years,the rate of divorce in
    the United States has exploded:almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now,and the evidence suggests it is
    going to get worse.If this trend continues,it will lead to the breakup of the family,according to a spokesper-
    son for the National Family Association.Some futurists predict that in 100 years,the average American will
    marry at least four times ,and extramarital(婚外的)affairs will be even more common than they are now.
    But what are the reasons for this ,and is the picture really so gloomy(阴暗的)?The answer to the first
    question is really quite simple:marriage is no longer the necessity it once was.The institution of marriage has
    been based for years partly on economic need.Women used to be economically dependent on their
    husbands一as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home.But with the rising number of women in well-
    paying jobs,this is no longer the case,so they don't feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.
    In answer to the second question , the outlook may not be as pessimistic(悲观的)as it seems. While the
    rate of divorce has risen;the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much,so marriage is still
    quite popular. In addition to this,many couples now simply live together and don't bother to marry. These
    couples are effectively married,but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics.In fact,
    more than 50%of first marriages survive.
    So is marriage really an outdated institution?The fact that most people still get married indicates that it
    isn't. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people:they suffer less from
    stress and its consequences,such as heart problems,and married men generally consider themselves more
    contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and
    apply it to all of our relationships!

    Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today?
    A:Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.
    B:More than half of the married couples get divorced.
    C:American people marry more than four times.
    D:More and more people are getting divorced.

    答案:D
    解析:
    由第一段可知如果离婚率持续走高的话,会导致家庭的破裂,A项错;几乎是一半人离 婚了,而不是超过一半,故B项错;是将会结四次婚,而不是现在就结四次婚,故C项错。由段中的“it is going to get worse”可知选D。
    由第二段可知,现在妇女都有报酬好的工作了,经济都已经独立了,经济问题对于她们来说已不是问题了。故选A。
    由第三段中的“marriage is still quite popular”可知,情况还没有那么糟糕,还是有很多人 愿意结婚的。故选A。
    由第四段中的“consider themselves more contented than...”可知选D。 contented意为“满 意的”。
    文中根本没有提到出国的事,故选D。

    A Great Quake Coming?

    Everyone who lives in San Francisco knows that earthquakes are common in the Bay Area一and they
    can be devastating. In 1906,for example,a major quake destroyed about 28,000 buildings and killed
    hundreds,perhaps thousands of people.Residents now wonder when the next"Big One"will strike.It's
    bound to happen someday. At least seven active fault(断层)lines run through the San Francisco area. Faults
    are places where pieces of Earth'S crust(地壳)slide past each other.When these pieces slip,the ground
    shakes.
    To prepare for that day,scientists are using new techniques to reanalyze the 1906 earthquake and pre-
    diet how bad the damage might be when the next one happens.
    One new finding about the 1906 earthquake is that the San Andreas fault split apart faster than scientists
    had assumed at the time. During small earthquakes,faults rupture(断裂)at about 2.7 kilometers per second.
    During bigger quakes,however.ruptures can happen at rates faster than 3.5 kilometers per second.
    At such high speeds,massive amounts of pressure build up,generating underground waves that can
    cause more damage than the quake itself. Lucky for San Francisco , these pressure pulses(脉冲)traveled
    away from the city during the 1906 event.As bad as the damage was,it could have been far worse.
    Looking ahead,scientists are trying to predict when the next major quake will occur. Records show that
    earthquakes were common before 1906.Since then,the area has been relatively quiet.Patterns in the data,
    however,suggest that the probability of a major earthquake striking the Bay Area before 2032 is at least 62
    percent.
    New buildings in San Francisco are quite safe in case of future quakes.Still,more than S4 percent of the
    city’s buildings are old and weak.Analyses suggest that another massive earthquake would cause extensive
    damage.
    People who live there today tend to feel safe because San Francisco has remained pretty quiet for a
    while.According to the new research,however,it's not a matter of"if" the Rig One will hit.It',just a mat-
    ter of when.

    Scientists will be able to predict the exact time of an earthquake soon.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    短文第一段的倒数第兰句提到至少有7条地质断层线穿越旧金山。
    短文虽然说旧金山大地震的破坏力非常大,但没有明确指出其程度是美国历史之最。
    从第兰段最后一句话可知答案。
    第五段的第二句话提到1906年前地震频繁。
    倒数第二段提到:城里超过84%的建筑是旧的、不坚固的。所以旧金山并没有为地震做好准备。
    第五段的最后一句话说科学家们顶测地震发生的概率荃少为62%,但是这并不意味着 科学家们就能预测出准确的时间,最后一段也只说明这是个时间问题,而没有说出具体时间。
    短文末尾提到:问题已不再是“是否”将会发生大地震,而是“什么时候”会发生。第3部分:概括大意与完成句子

    American Wedding
    “I do.”To Americans,those two words carry great meaning.They can even change your life,especially if you say them at your own wedding.Making wedding vows is like signing a con-tract. Now Americans don't really think marriage is a business deal.But marriage is a serious business.
    It all begins with engagement.Traditionally,a young man asks the father of his sweetheart for permission to marry her. If the father agrees,the man later proposes to her. Often he tries to surprise her by“popping the question”in a romantic way.Sometimes the couple just decides to-gether that the time is right to get married. The man usually gives his francée(未婚妻)a dia- mond ring as a symbol of their engagement. They may be engaged for weeks,months or even years .As the big day approaches,their friends will provide many useful gifts.Today many cou- pies also receive advice during engagement.This prepares them for the challenges of married life.
    At last it is time for the wedding.Although most weddings follow traditions,there's still room for individualism(个人主义).For example,the usual place for a wedding is a church. But some people get married outdoors in a scenic spot.A few even have the ceremony while sky-diving or riding on horseback!The couple may invite hundreds of people or just a few close friends.They choose their own style of colors,decorations and music during the ceremony.But some things rarely change.The bride usually wears a beautiful,long white wedding dress.She traditionally wears“something old,something new,something borrowed and something blue.”The groom wears a formal suit.
    As the ceremony begins,the groom and his attendants stands with the minister,facing the audience.Music signals the entrance of the bride's attendants followed by the beautiful bride. Nervously, the young couple repeats their vows.Traditionally,they promise to love each other “for better,for worse,for richer,for poorer,in sickness and in health.”But sometimes the cou-
    pie composes their own vows.They give each other a gold ring to symbolize their marriage corn-mitment.Finally the minister announces the big moment:“I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride!”
    At the wedding reception,the bride and groom greet their guests.Then they cut the wedding cake and feed each other a bite. Later the bride throws her bouquet of flowers(花束)to a group of single girls.Tradition says that the one who catches the flower will be the next to marry.After the reception,many couples take a honeymoon,a one-to-two-week vacation trip,to celebrate their new mamage.

    American consider marriage as a business deal.
    A: Right
    B: Wrong
    C: Not mentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    文章第一段提到“Now Americans don't really think marriage is a business deal. But marriage is a serious business.”这句话中出现两个business,各自表达的意思不一样,第一个的意思是“商业、生意”,而第二个意思是“事”。这句话说明,美国人并没有把婚姻当作是一场交易,而是一件很严肃的事情。
    文章第二段提到“A young man asks the father of his sweetheart for permission to marry her.”这说明正确的程序应该是:年轻男子先要征得女方父亲的允诺,允许将女儿许配给他,如果征得同意,他才可以向女孩求婚。
    文章第三段中提到“some people get married outdoors in a scenic spot. A few even have the ceremony while sky-diving or riding on horseback!”由此我们可知,在教堂中结婚并不是唯一的方式,人们为了展现个性有时也会选择其他地点,如风景名胜或空中作为婚礼场所。
    文章没有谈到这方面的信息。文章中自始至终没有提到过订婚后两个要参加任何课程的内容。
    文章中第三段只提到了传统习惯下新娘要带的四样东西:“ something old , something new , something borrowed and something blue”即旧的、新的、借的、蓝色的。并没有包括红色的东西。
    文章没到谈到这方面的信息。文章只在第四段中提到“Music signals the entrance of the bride's attendants , followed by the beautiful bride.”可知,新娘是跟在她陪伴后出来的,具体是否由她的父亲带出来的,文章并没有涉及。
    文章第四段提到“They give each other a gold ring to symbolize their marriage commit-ment.”可知,交换金戒指象征着彼此对婚姻的承诺,所以这必然是结婚仪式中的一个环节。
