E: In fact, a quarter of the 23 million single people in the U. S.are under the age of 35.
F: He says, "I like being by myself. "

答案：C

解析：

在第一段开始，作者就提到“越来越多的美国人过着单身生活”，紧接着讲述了“一些人过着单身生活的原因是离婚或者配偶的去世”在几个选项中，只有C选项与前文相照应，因为 C选项提到了美国人过单身生活的其他原因二故选C。
从第二段的第一句话，我们很容易看出本段叙述单身生活的人群。第一句话指出“典型的单身者既不是老年人也不是离异者”，那么在其后面肯定是说明这些典型的．单身者到底是什么人。在几个选项里面，只有E提到了人群，即“事实上，在美国，2300万单身者中，有四分之一的人处于35岁以下”：故选E。
本题可以用排除法解决。首先本段主要叙述单身生活被社会所接受以及各种成因，主要是因为人们得到了更好的工作，经济上更加独立等。但该段没有提及pressure（压力）,child- hood dream（儿时梦想），故排除A和D；在F中的He没有前后呼应的主语，故将其排除。只有 B选项与本段内容相符。
第四段的倒数第二句话提到了一个人物David C' Debaca，所以能与人物相对应的只有 F选项中的He。
最后一段的第一句话说：儿童认为，长大意味着想十什么就于什么。选项D的意思是：似平今天许多大人正在实现那种儿时梦想。第6部分：完形填空

答案：F

第6题：

In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family is becoming smaller. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living.

Generally children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents are usually responsible for all the expenses. And families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break-up of the family appears when the parents' divorce.

A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Children grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved between their parents. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship.

The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs show that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining(降低). Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.

第一篇

U. S. Blacks Hard-hit by Cancer

Death rates for cancer are falling for all Americans,but black Americans are still more
likely to die of cancer than whites,the American Cancer Society said Monday.
In a special report on cancer and blacks,the organization said blacks are usually
diagnosed with cancer later than whites,and they are more likely to die of the disease.
This could be because of unequal（不平等的）access to medical care, because blacks
are more likely to have other diseases as well,and perhaps because of differences in the
biology（生物学）of the cancer itself, the report added.
"In general,black Americans have less hope of surviving five years after diagnosis
than whites for all cancer sites and all stages of diagnosis,"the report said,
"In describing cancer statistics for black Americans,this report recognizes that many of
the differences associated with race may be caused by unfair social and economic
differences and unequal access to medical care."
The cancer society said blacks should be encouraged to get check-ups（体格检查）
earlier,when cancer is more treatable,and it said more research is needed to see if
biological differences play a role.
"The new statistics emphasize the continuing importance of wiping out these unfair
social differences through public policy and education efforts,"the organization said in a
statement.
But it also noted a drop in cancer death rates.
"Cancer death rates in both sexes for all sites combined have dropped greatly among
black Americans since 1992,as have incidence rates（发生率）,"said the report.

Black Americans are more likely to die of cancer than
A:people in other countries.
B:white Americans.
C:all other Americans.
D:their ancestors.

答案：B

第8题：

Most of us，when we reached our teens，started looking forward to the day when we would occupy places of our own，far from the confines of our families. We saw this moving away as a chance to strike out on our own，to grow，to spread out wings and experience freedom. At the same time，we regarded this independence as temporary-the thing to do until we found the perfect mate and married. Over the years，many millions of people have made this passage from one family to another，with just a brief，often nervous interval of independence in between. But recently，more and more people have begun to challenge the concept that living together is better than living alone. Being single is now accepted as an alternative lifestyle-one that is natural，rewarding，and complete. In fact，being single has become almost fashionable.

正确答案：
我们大多数人到了十几岁的时候，就开始向往有一天能有自己的独立空间，从而远离家庭的束缚。我们把离开家看做是独立生活、长大成人、展翅飞翔和体验自由的机会。但与此同时，我们认为这种独立只不过是在我们找到满意的伴侣并结婚之前的暂时的事情。这些年中，几百万人们都是这样从一个家庭到另一个家庭过来的，中间经历了一个短暂、并且常常是不知所措的独立阶段。但是最近，这种与人住在一起比独居更好的观念正开始受到越来越多的人们的挑战。独身现在被人们看做是生活方式的另一种选择-这种生活方式是合乎自然的，有意义的，而且是没有什么缺陷的。实际上，独身已经变得近乎流行起来了。

第9题：

______(46)
A:There's more pressure to get married nowadays.
B:The growing number of women with good jobs has done much to increase the number of people living alone.
C:However,even more people are living alone because they have chosen to.
D:It seems that many grown-ups today are realizing that childhood dream.
E:In fact,a quarter of the 23 million single people in the U.S.are under the age of 35.
F:He says,"I like being by myself."

答案：C

解析：

在第一段开始，作者就提到“越来越多的美国人过着单身生活”，紧接着讲述了“一些人过着单身生活的原因是离婚或者配偶的去世”。选项中只有C项“更多的美国人过单身生活的原因是他们选择了这种生活方式”是与此相关联的。
前面一句话说“典型的独居人群既不是老年人也不是离异者”；后面一句话说“这些人中的大部分人选择了这一生活方式”，联系上下文可知，“这些人”指的不是前面所提到的老年人或离异者，而应该是本段最后一句话中所提到的“响应减轻社会压力而不结婚和组建家庭的人”，选项中只有E项“事实上，在美国2300万个单身的人中有1/4的人不到35岁”是与此相关联的。
前面一句话说“因为人们得到了更好的工作，经济上更加独立，所以他们才有可能维持一个人生活需要的开支”，而选项中只有B项“越来越多的女士有了好的工作，她们也使得独居人口的数量增加了”是与此相关联的。
前面一句话提到了一个人David C ' Debaca，他说“一旦你独居了，就很难再与他人生活在一起。”说明他已经可惯了这种生活方式，而选项中只有F项“他说他喜欢自己生活”是与此相关联的。
最后一段的第一句话说“儿童认为，长大意味着想干什么就干什么”，而选项中只有D项“似乎今天许多大人正在实现那种儿时的梦想”是与此相关联的。

Marriage Advertisements in India
Every Sunday morning millions of Indians settle down with a cup of tea and special weekend issues of their newspapers,just as Americans do.But here,with the marriage sea-son approaching,many of them quickly to a Sunday feature that is particularly Indian-the-columns of marriage advertisements in which young people look for husbands and wives.This is relatively modern change in the age-old custom of the arranged marriage.The thousands of advertisements published each week increasingly reflect social changes that coming to this traditional society.For example,although women are still described in terms of appearance, or skill in“the wifely arts,”information about her earning power is entering more and more of the advertisements.This reflects the arrival in India of the working wife.
Divorce,which used to be almost unheard of in India,is sometimes now mentioned in the advertisements as in the case of a woman whose advertisement in New Delhi newspaper explained that had been“the innocent party” when her marriage broke up.
Because the custom of the dowry(marriage payment)is now illegal,some advertise-ments say“no dowry”,or“simple marriage”,which means the same thing.However,the fathers of many bridegrooms still require it.
In a land where light skin is often regarded as socially preferible,many also require that a woman have a“wheat-color” complexion or that a man be“tall,fair and handsome”.
Advertisements are placed and eagerly read by a wide range of people in the upper classes,mostly in cities.Many of them receive dozens of answers.“There's nothing embarrassing about it,”explained a Calcutta businessman advertising a son-in-law.“It's just another way of broadening the contacts and increase the possibility of doing the contacts and increasing the possibilities of doing the best one for one's daughter.”
Because of high unemployment and a generally poor standard of living here,one of the best attractions a marriage advertisement can offer is a permit to live abroad,especially in Canada or the United States.A person who has one can get what he wants.
One recent Sunday in Madras,for example,a Punjabi engineer living in San Francisco advertised for a“beautiful slim bride with lovely features knowing music and dance.”And a man whose advertisement said that he held an American immigration permit was able to say, only girls from rich,well-connected families need apply.

In India there is a high divorce rate.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案：C

解析：

题干中出现了绝对词only，由此判断该题干句陈述的意义可能过于绝对，也因此题干陈述的信息可能与短文中的相关信息不一致，因此该题答案可能为B。题干意为 “印度的婚姻广告只介绍妇女的外貌或妇女的贤惠”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语marriage advertisements, India, women, appearance, skill, a good wife作为定位线索，在短文中找到相关句For example, although women are still described in terms of appearance, or skill in “the wifely arts,”information about her earning power is entering more and more of the ad-vertisements，相关句意为“尽管广告依然描述妇女的外貌或妇女的贤惠，关于妇女赚钱能力的介绍也在越来越多的婚姻广告上出现了”，显然相关句的内容与题干不一致。该题涉及阅读题中的典型陷阱“以偏概全”。
题干意为“印度的社会正在发生着变化”。利用题干中的名词短语India's society作为定位线索，在短文第一段中找到相关句The thousands of advertisements published each week increasingly reflect social changes that coming to this traditional society（指印度的社会），该句意为“每周发布的数千条广告反映出这个传统的社会正发生着变化”。显然题干陈述的意义与短文中的相关信息一致。
题干意为“第三段中的‘dowry’一词意思是‘彩礼钱’”。dowry是超纲词。首先找到dowry所在的句子Because the custom of the dowry(marriage payment) is now illegal,some advertisements say“no dowry”,or“simple marriage”,which means the same thing，在相关句中marriage payment出现dowry后面的括号中，应该是对dowry进行解释，由此判断dowry的含义就是marriage payment“彩礼钱”。
题干意为“在印度人们更偏爱肤色浅，容貌美丽的孩子”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语India, people, light skin, good feature作为定位线索，同时关注题干中的修饰词light, good1 preferable，这样在短文中找到相关句In a land（指印度）where light skin is often regarded as socially preferable,many also require that a woman have a“wheat-color” complexion or that a man be “tall, fair and handsome（与good feature呼应）”。相关句意为 “在印度，人们更偏爱浅肤色，许多人也要求妇女有小麦肤色，要求男人个子高，皮肤白哲，长相英俊”，但并没有说“喜欢美丽的容貌”，短文中的相关内容没有提到孩子的情况，而整篇短文中都没有提到孩子，因此人们对孩子的外貌有什么样的期望是短文中没有提及的信息。
题干意为“‘A person who has one can get what he wants’中的‘one’指良好的吸引力”。首先找到A person who has one can get what he wants所在的上下文Because of high unemployment and a generally poor standard of living here,one of the best attractions a marriage advertisement can offer is a permit to live abroad,especially in Canada or the United States.A person who has one can get what he wants．划线句意为“有了……的人能得到他想要的”，结合前句话的内容判断，one应该指前句中的permit to live abroad“在国外居住的许可证”。由此可见题干所说的one指代good attraction是不正确的，这与原文中的实际指代内容不一致，因此答案为B。
题干中出现了绝对词only，因此推测题干陈述的意义可能比较绝对，而且题干陈述的信息很可能与短文中的相关信息不一致，所以答案可能为B。题干意为“只有一小群来自上层社会的人读这些广告”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语advertisement, a small group of people of high social status作为定位线索，在第五段中找到相关句Advertisements are placed and eagerly read by a wide range of people in the upper classes（与people of high social status呼应）,mostly in cities，相关句意为“广告主要在城市里发布，上层社会中各种各样的人都会急切地想看这些广告”，这表明城市里还会有其他人也会看广告，而不是只有来自上层社会的人看广告。因此题干陈述的意义与原文中的相关内容不一致。
题干意为“印度的离婚率很高”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语India, high divorce rate作为定位线索，结果发现短文中根本没有提到离婚率，因此从原文中无法获得是否印度的离婚率高相关信息。
