Prolonging Human Life
Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population.Many people alive to-day would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago.Because more people live longer,there are more people around at any given time.In fact,it is a decrease in death rates,not an increase in birthrates,that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load.In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them.In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die .In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child.In most contempo- rary societies,people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work;we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age.Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement,somebody else must support them .In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near
poverty .Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people;unless they have wealth or private or government insurance,they must often"go on welfare"if they have a serious illness.
When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create grave problems for their families.In the past and in some traditional cultures,they would be cared for at home until they died.Today,with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person.To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built.These are often profit-making organizations,although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups.While a few of these institutions are good,most of them are simply"dumping grounds"for the dying in which"care"is given by poorly paid,overworked,and under-skilled personnel.

The writer believes that the population explosion results from______.
A: an increase in birthrates
B: the industrial development
C: a decrease in death rates
D: cultural advances

答案：C
解析：
第一段最后一句说“In fact , it is a decrease in death rates , not an increase in birthrates , that has led to the population explosion.”事实上，是由于死亡率的下降，而不是出生率的上升，导致了人口爆炸。因此，选项C是正确答案。


第二段第四句说“In times of famine , infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have an-other child.”在灾年，可能会容忍婴儿死亡，因为，如果他们的父母俄死了，他们也无法生存，而如果父母生存下来可重新生儿育女。因此，选项B是正确的答案。


第二段倒数第二句是这么说的“In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty."（在美国，许多退休人员依靠社会保障金生活，其数额之小差不多使人穷困潦倒。）可以看出，在美国许多退休人员的生活是很艰难的。这正是选项A表达的意思，因而选项A是正确的答案。


第三段第三句“Today , with most members of a household working or in school , there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person."（当今，由于家庭中大多数人都出去工作或上学，家里常常没有人来照顾有病或虚弱的人。) " this need”出现在下面这个短语中："To meet this need "（为了满足这种需要），它指句子前面的“care for a sick or weak person"。这正是选项D表达的意思。


文章的最后一句说“... most of them are simply " dumping grounds" for the dying in which "care" is given by poorly paid overworKea , and under-skilled personnel"（大多数机构只不过是倾倒垂死的人的“垃圾场”，所谓的“照顾”都是由收入低、超量工作、技术水平低下的人员提供的。）作者如此措辞显然是对大多数机构的强烈批评。因此，选项 D是正确答案。

根据下面资料，回答
For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury; they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision. Perhaps the choice has to do with economics. One husband said, "Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance. We couldn′t afford it." With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters, transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less.
Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings.
There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.
From my own experience, I would like to suggest that sometimes the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn′t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl′s eyes.
Why did Marge and her husband think it an extravagance for Marge to go back to work?

A.Because they might pay more than they earned on the whole.
B.Because they don't have the baby sitter to help them.
C.Because Marge has to take care of their children at home.
D.Because Marge has to pay more transportation fares.

答案：A

第10题：

Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys,people are actually more stressed at home than at work.Researchers measured people’s cortisol,which is a stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home”,writes one of the researchers,Sarah Damske.In fact women even say they feel better at work,she notes.“It is men,not women,who report being happier at home than at work.”Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without,but more so for nonparents.This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office.For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back.For women who stay home,they never get to leave the office.And for women who work outside the home,they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.With the blurring of roles,and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing.At work,people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income.The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front,however,people have no such clarity.Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out.There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them.Your home colleagues—your family—have no clear rewards for their labor;they need to be talked into it,or if they’re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices.Plus,they’re your family.You cannot fire your family.You never really get to go home from home.So it’s not surprising that people are more stressed at home.Not only are the tasks apparently infinite,the co-workers are much harder to motivate.
According to Damaske,who are likely to be the happiest at home?

A.Working mothers.
B.Childless husbands.
C.Childless wives.
D.Working fathers.

答案：B
解析：
细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题。主要考查考生准确理解题干，精准定位，并能正确掌握定位信息，辨别干扰选项的能力。【直击答案】根据题干关键信息“Damaske”定位到第二段第三、四句，即Damaske的观点。这两句提到“It is men，not women,who report being happier at home than at work…，but more so for nonparents.”，即“研究发现是男人，而不是女人，在家比在工作中更高兴。更令人吃惊的是，这种情况对有无孩子都一样，尤其是对于没有孩子的人。”综合对比，确定B为最佳答案。【干扰排除】A、C项两项均为反向干扰，原文说的是男人比女人在家更快乐，故排除。根据该句“but more so for nonparents”可知D项错误，原文是没有孩子的男性，并非工作中的父亲。
