36、回答36-50題： What's Wrong With Today's Marriage Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, therate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages endin divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If thistrend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to aspokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict thatin 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times, andextramarital (婚外的)affairs will be even more common than they are now. But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy (陰暗的)?The answer to the fast question is really quite simple: marriage is no longerthe necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based for yearspartly on economic neeD．Women used to be economically dependent on theirhusbands -- as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home. But with therising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so theydon't feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage. In answer to the second question, the oudook may not be as pessimistic (悲觀的)as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marryinghas never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular.

38、 Whyis the outlook of marriage riot as hopeless as it 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．Thestatistics of divorce is reliable.
39、 Howdo most men feeling their marriage life? A．Theyfeel much stronger than before. B．Theydon't feel as lonely as before. C．Theysuffer more than before. D．Theyfeel more satisfied than being single.

41、回答41-55題： The Changing Middle Class The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation. However, middleclass is not a real designation, nor does it carry privileges (特權(quán)).It is more of a perception, which probably was as true as it ever could beright after World War II. The economy was growing, more and more people ownedtheir own homes, workers had solid contracts with the companies that employedthem, and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one. Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They may have started out poor, but theycould become rich. Successful people also found that they had greatergeographic mobility. In other words, they found themselves moving to and livingin a variety of places. The middle class collectively holds several values and principles. One strong valueis the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's owneconomic fate. In addition, middle-class morality (道德觀)embraces principles of individual responsibility, importance of family,obligations to others, and believing in something outside oneself. But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. AU. S. News & World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent ofAmericans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet.Both spouses now worked, as did some of the children; long commutes becameroutine; the need for child care put strains on the family; and public schoolswere not as good as they once were.

During the past 50 years, therate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages endin divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If thistrend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to aspokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict thatin 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times, andextramarital (婚外的)affairs will be even more common than they are now. But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy (陰暗的)?The answer to the fast question is really quite simple: marriage is no longerthe necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based for yearspartly on economic neeD．Women used to be economically dependent on theirhusbands -- as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home. But with therising number of women in well-paying jobs, this is no longer the case, so theydon't feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage. In answer to the second question, the oudook may not be as pessimistic (悲觀的)as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen, the rate of couples marryinghas never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular.

41、回答41-55題： The Changing Middle Class The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation. However, middleclass is not a real designation, nor does it carry privileges (特權(quán)).It is more of a perception, which probably was as true as it ever could beright after World War II. The economy was growing, more and more people ownedtheir own homes, workers had solid contracts with the companies that employedthem, and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one. Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility. They may have started out poor, but theycould become rich. Successful people also found that they had greatergeographic mobility. In other words, they found themselves moving to and livingin a variety of places. The middle class collectively holds several values and principles. One strong valueis the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's owneconomic fate. In addition, middle-class morality (道德觀)embraces principles of individual responsibility, importance of family,obligations to others, and believing in something outside oneself. But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success. AU. S. News & World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent ofAmericans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet.Both spouses now worked, as did some of the children; long commutes becameroutine; the need for child care put strains on the family; and public schoolswere not as good as they once were.
