共用题干Trying to Find a Partner
One of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people interviewed, one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with. Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships?Does modem life really make it harder to fall in love?or are we making it harder for ourselves?
It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships .Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status.A man doesn't expect his spouse to be in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.
But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.
In theory,finding a partner should be much simpler these days.Only a few generations ago, your choice of soulmate(心上人)was constrained by geography , social convention and family tradition.Although it was never explicit,many marriages were essentially arranged.
Now those barriers have been broken down.You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any city on any given evening. When the world is your oyster(牡蛎),you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.
But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint:the tyranny of choice.
The expectations of partners are inflated to an unmanageable degree:good looks,impressive salary,kind to grandmother,and right socks.There is no room for error in the first impression.
We think that a relationship can be perfect.If it isn't,it is disposable.We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and don't put in the hard emotional labor needed to build a strong relationship .Of course,this is complicated by realities.The cost of housing and childrearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.The word"sustain"(paragraph 2)could be best replaced by______.A: "reduce"B: "shake"C: "maintain"D: "weaken"
选项
The word"sustain"(paragraph 2)could be best replaced by______.
A: "reduce"
B: "shake"
C: "maintain"
D: "weaken"
答案
C
解析
根据短文第一段可知,英国最近的民意调查显示,1/2的人觉得找到合适的对象建立家庭越来越难。
根据短文第三段可知,现代的家庭妇女不再依赖丈夫的经济和地位,男人也不再期望妻子一个人包揽家务和养孩子。故可推知A、B、C项说法正确。
根据短文第五段可知在以前,选择心上人有很多限制,如地理位置、社会风俗、家庭传统等,而跟对方奶奶的健康状况无关。
根据短文倒数第二段可知,人们对对方的期望更高了,如好的外貌、高工资、孝顺、志趣相投等,而没有提及是否得有很好的幽默感。
sustain意为“维护,保持”,故选C“保持”。
