第7题：
Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry.
The converse of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to putting off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to life, the number of marriages also rises.
The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife's work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible (似是而非). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a family's standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family's financial and emotional stability. Psychological
factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she-can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.
Also, a major part of women's inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.
One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is that_________.A. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedom
B. they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbands
C. they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectations
D. they tend to suspect their husbands loyalty to their marriage答案：A解析：细节题。第三段第二句提到不能外出工作的妇女会感到被关在笼子里，相当于A，they
feel that they have been robbed of their freedom．她们感到被剥夺了自由。 -

第16题：
Passage Two
Concerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American par- ents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent-training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior. will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive. But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is right. Arguments may con- cern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sexual behav- ior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adoles- cents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into "solid citizens" who fulfill most of their parents' expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the "generation gap" is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents' values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.
40. According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect ______.
A. feelings of hatred
B. power struggle
C. that they don't care for each other
D. that they may appeal to divorce

A:are
B:is
C:don't
D:do答案：D解析：for"为了······”。这句话的意思是为那些不想进行积极治疗的病人降低医疗成本开支。
reducing“减少，降低”。上一段已指出这样做可以降低成本，A、B、D的意思与文章相反。
provide“提供”。这句话的意思是量身定制一个治疗方案来保证我们提供给他想要的具体关怀。
in many cases是固定搭配，意思是“在很多情况下”。
result in“导致，造成”。没有A选项和C选项这样的固定搭配，D的意思是“由······引起”。
positive“积极的”。这句与上文中的aggressive和下面段落中的aggressive 是同样的意思，即便不清楚aggressive的意思，也可以从上下文意思中可以分析出来，这句想说希望得到积极治疗的病人应该得到这样的治疗。
asked在句中用的是被动语态，意为“被询问，被过问” 这句话的意思是很多病人不希望积极治疗，而且没有人问过他们的意愿。A选项“怀疑”,B选项“猜测”,C选项“要求”，都不太符合这里的意思。
on“在······上”。这句话的意思是伯格曼和其同事正在癌症患者身上测试以病人为中心的关怀。
suggested在这里用的是过去式，意为“建议”。这句话的意思是研究员们还建议，应该考虑改进医疗保险机制。B选项“知道”'C选项“承诺”,D选项“决定”，都与上下文意思不符。
end“终点”。这句话根据上下文可以推测出想表达的意思是“在临终前”。
deny“拒绝，拒绝给予”。这句话的意思是不拒绝希望获得积极治疗的人。 A、B、C意思不符。
do这里代表的是“want it"。 C选项don't意思相反。are和is都是be动词的变形。这里want是实义动词，代替实义动词应该用do。
spent是spend的被动语态，意思是“花悄，花费”。这句话的意思是每年 30％的医疗保险费花费在5％的受益人身上。C选项意为“浪费”，含贬义，这里没有说钱花在临终病人身上就是浪费，应选择中性词。
happen“发生，产生”。这句话的意思是生命最后一年的1/3的成本开支是在最后一个月发生的。
by的用法很多，其中一个用法是表示增减的幅度。这句话的意思是在生命最后一周降低36％的成本。 -
