7.Divorce-Social Problem in USA
Marriage,like other social instructions,is showing the strains of modern life.While more Americans are getting married today than ever before,the divorce rate is also disturbingly on the rise (one divorce for every three marriages last year).(71)E
Women's easy and convenient life in USA
For most people,life is easier and more comfortable than ever before.Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking.Household appliances like the cleaner and the washing machine have made housework much easier to do.Released from these household chores,many wives have found jobs outside the home.(72)C
Average American families getting small
Families,too,are simpler today. (73)D With our frequent changes,relatives have spread over a wide area,the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people,after they marry,going wherever their jobs or their interests take them.Women have their own freedom.
(74)A While attending college,they often live away from home,sometimes far from their parents or their relatives.After college,they move to the city,find a job,and set up"bachelor"apartment.This is the era of women's liberation.
Independence leading to family break-up
But all this freedom and wealth had had an unforeseen and in some respects an extremely bad effect on marriage.Men and women,no longer dependent on each other for food and maintenance,find it harder to accept the responsibilities. (75)G On the other hand,there is a growing trend today for couples in trouble to try to save their marriage by consulting a professional adviser.He listens patiently while they talk,knowing that only through self-understanding can they solve their problems.

A.Young adult women have new freedom,too.
B.No marriage for many people nowadays.
C.Women are achieving economic independence.
D.In America,it is not customary for parents to live with their married children.
E.Why should this be so,and what,if anything,can we do to change this trend?
F.Here's some advice on how to solve the problem.
G.When happiness becomes misery,many couples decide to stop their marriage through divorce.

分析 本文針對(duì)美國(guó)社會(huì)存在的離婚現(xiàn)象進(jìn)行了深刻的分析.指出造成這一現(xiàn)象的原因在于女性因其經(jīng)濟(jì)的獨(dú)立而他們的生活變得更加的簡(jiǎn)單和舒適;因?yàn)榕c父母分開而早早的獲得了自由,這種獨(dú)立性在一定程度上增加了離婚的幾率.

解答 71-75ECDAG
71. E.考查的是上下文的語境理解能力.根據(jù)本段"While more Americans are getting married today than ever before,the divorce rate is also disturbingly on the rise(one divorce for every three marriages last year)."盡管如今更多的美國(guó)人結(jié)婚,但是離婚率的上升也很令人不安."提出問題后接下來就是給出對(duì)策;所以E項(xiàng)有承上啟下的作用;故選E.
72. C.考查的是上下文的語境理解能力.前面一句Released from these household chores,many wives have found jobs outside the home可知,女性的經(jīng)濟(jì)地位得到了保障.故選C項(xiàng).
73. D.考查的是上下文的語境理解能力.根據(jù)前面的標(biāo)題Average American families getting small及本段"Families,too,are simpler today.In America,it is not customary for parents to live with their married children."家庭變得簡(jiǎn)單.在美國(guó),父母不再習(xí)慣和已婚子女生活.故選D.
74. A.考查的是上下文的語境理解能力.根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容談到上大學(xué)時(shí)以及大學(xué)畢業(yè)后的自由以及最后一句This is the era of women's liberation."可知成年女性也獲得了新自由;A項(xiàng)為正確答案.
75. G.考查的是上下文的語境理解能力.根據(jù)前一句"Men and women,no longer dependent on each other for food and maintenance,find it harder to accept the responsibilities."當(dāng)男女雙方不再在食物和生活費(fèi)用上相互依賴,尤其是不能再接受相互的責(zé)任時(shí),他們的選擇就很有可能是離婚.可知G項(xiàng)正確

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做綜合填空類題要在理解文章整體的基礎(chǔ)上,補(bǔ)全所缺的部分.針對(duì)這個(gè)特點(diǎn),解答時(shí)要注意語境和上下文的聯(lián)系,同時(shí)還要注意文章的寫作方法和結(jié)構(gòu).尤其要留心選項(xiàng)中的信息詞(空格前后句子中與選項(xiàng)中相同或相近的詞),站在作者的寫作立場(chǎng),選出最符合作者原意的句子.

The Power of V
Birds of a feather may flock together,but why they fly together in V formations has never been known for certain.
Now,with the help of 14 northern bald ibises (歐洲禿鷹) equipped with(41)Dsensors on a 600-mile migration from Austria to Italy,researchers are suggesting that the explanation is one that was long (42)Cbut never proved:the formations helps the birds conserve energy.
Reporting in the (43)GNature,the scientists write that the ibises(44)Athemselves in spots that were aerodynamically optimal (空氣動(dòng)力學(xué)上最佳的)-allowing them to take advantage of swirls of upward-moving air(45)Fby the wings of the bird ahead.Since the lead bird got no lift advantage,the ibises regularly switched leaders.
"We've been wondering for years whether flapping birds can save energy by following each other in the right way,"said Geiffrey Spedding,a researcher at the University of Southern California,who was not involved in the study."This word answers that question,and the answer is yes."
The scientists,led by Jim Usherwood of the Royal Veterinary College in England,said a major (46)Ewas obtaining the data.The ibises hatched at Zoo Vienna in March 2011 and (47)Jas part of a conservation project aimed at reintroducing the (48)Kendangered species to its natural range in Europe.
Some of the study's authors served as human foster parents,taking the young birds on training flights in Salzburg,Austria.The humans rode in a paraplane,a type of lightweight aircraft,and the birds followed.Eventually,the foster parents taught the birds their 600-mile migration route from Salzburg to Orbetello,Italy,by flying alongside them.
The birds wore custom-made data loggers that allowed the researchers to track flapping,speed and direction.Weighing less than an ounce,the devices included a memory card and a GPS unit,among other things.It is(49)Ito about one foot and refreshes five times per second-the(50)Bnecessary to track the birds'positions in relation to one another.
The new study does not say how much energy the ibises saved through the V formation,but small gains could be useful over long migrations,experts say.
