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

26、 it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson 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

27、more common than they are now. But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy (明暗的 ) ? 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

28、 used to be economically dependent on their husbands as they usually didnt have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so they dont feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage. In answer to the second question, the outlook ma

29、y 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 dont bother to marry. These couples are effectively ma

30、rried, 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 So is marriage really an outdated institution?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 isnt. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier

31、life than single people: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems, and married men generally consider themselves more dependent than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships！ 3

33、s is no longer the case“ in paragraph mean? （ A） Women are not economically dependent any more. （ B） It is not necessary to get married any more. （ C） Women do not need a husband any longer. （ D） Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now. 33 Why is the outlook of marriage riot as hopeless as i

34、t appears? （ A） Many people still like to get married. （ B） The rate of divorce has actually decreased. （ C） Over 60% of the marriages continue to exist. （ D） The statistics of divorce is reliable. 34 How do most men feeling their marriage life? （ A） They feel much stronger than before. （ B） They do

35、nt feel as lonely as before. （ C） They suffer more than before. （ D） They feel more satisfied than being single. 35 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

36、 need. （ C） It is a fact that most people choose to get married （ D） Many people went abroad after divorce. 35 One-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, and the mention of them makes people feel a vague long for the way things were. One-room schools are an endangered species, h

37、owever. For more than a hundred years, one-room schools have been systematically shut down and their students sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one-room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of nearly 800 remaining one-room schools. Mor

38、e than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are scattered through a few other states that have on their road maps wide-open spaces between towns. Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one-room schools, something that served

39、 the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators have come up with progressive-sounding names like “peer-group teaching“ and “multi-age grouping“ for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one-room schools. In a one-room school the children teach each other because the

40、 teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. A fourth grader can work at a fifth-grade level in math and a third-grade level in English without the stigma associated with being left back or the pressures of being skipped ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her o

41、wn level without being separated from the other pupils. In larger urban and suburban schools today, this is called “main streaming“. A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their

42、children have to go to a one-room school. 36 We learn from the first paragraph mat one-room schools_. （ A） are the best in Nebraska （ B） are becoming more and more centralized （ C） have has a strong influence on American people （ D） need to be shut down 37 One-room schools are in danger of disappear

43、ing because_. （ A） there has been a trend towards centralization （ B） they cannot get top students （ C） they exist only in one state （ D） children have to teach themselves. 38 A major characteristic of the one-room school system is that_. （ A） learning is not limited to one grade level （ B） pupils m

44、ostly study math and English （ C） some children have to be left back （ D） teachers are always busy 39 It can be learned from paragraph 2 that many parents in Nebraska_. （ A） dont like centralized schools （ B） come from other states （ C） received education in one-room schools （ D） prefer rural life 4

45、0 What is the authors attitude towards one-room schools? （ A） Critical. （ B） Humorous. （ C） Angry. （ D） Praising. 40 Some people would say that the Englishmans home is no longer his castle, and that it has become his workshop. This is partly because the average Englishman is keen on working with his

46、 own hands and partly because he feels, for one reason or another, that he must do for himself many households for which, some years ago, he would have hired professional help. The main reason for this is a financial one. The high cost of labor has meant that builders and decorators cost have reache

47、d a level which makes them prohibitive for house-proud English people of modest means. So, if they wish to keep their houses looking bright and smart, they have to tackle some of the repairs and decorating themselves. As a result, there has grown up in the post-war years what is sometimes referred t

48、o as the “ do-it-yourself movement“. The “ do-it-yourself movement“ began with home decorating but has since spread into a much wider field. Nowadays there seem to be very few things that cant be made by the “do-it-yourself movement“ method. A number of magazines and handbooks exist to show hopeful

49、handymen of all ages just how easy it is to build anything from a coffee table to a fifteen foot (4. 5 meters) sailing dinghy. All you need, it seems, is a hammer and a few nails. You follow the simple instructions step by step and, before you know where you are, the finished article stands before you, completely in every detail.
