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 modern 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（限制）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（牡砺）,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But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint: the tyranny of choice.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（提高）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 child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.Which of the following is NOT expected of a partner according to this passage?A:Good looks.B:An impressive career.C:A high salary.D:A fine sense of humor.
选项 Which of the following is NOT expected of a partner according to this passage?
A:Good looks.
B:An impressive career.
C:A high salary.
D:A fine sense of humor.
答案 D
解析 本题是细节考查题。原文是“近来英国一个民意测验带来意想不到的发现，被采访的人群中，每两个人中就有一个认为现在找个人结婚变得越来越困难了。”选项A “女人越来越难找丈夫”不符合原文；选项B“建立家庭越来越难”符合原文；选项C“男人找妻子越来越难”不符合原文；选项”“和伴侣建立亲密关系越来越难”不符合原文。因此，只能选B。
本题是细节考查题。题目问“以下选项中哪个对目前的夫妻的描述不正确？”选项A“妻子不用单独抚养孩子”?选项B“丈夫不用单独养家”、选项C“妻子不再是唯一照料家里的人了”都在原文第三段提到过；选项D“他们会从政府得到大笔钱”不符合原文。因此只能选择D。
本题是细节考查题。题目问“以下哪项不是过去选择伴侣的限制条件？" 原文是“几十年前，你对心上人的选择受地理距离、社会风俗和家族传统的限制”。选项A“祖母的健康状况”；选项B“地理条件”；选项C“社会风俗”；选项D“家族传统”。因此只能选A。
本题是细节考查题。题目问“下列哪项不是对未来伴侣的期望？”原文是 “对伴侣的期待被提到难以实现的高度：外表迷人、薪水高、对祖母好、志趣相投”和“住房和养孩子的成本在选择伴侣的时候让人首先考虑到的就是稳定的收入和职业”。选项A“迷人外表”；选项B“良好的职业”；选项C“高薪水”；选项D“美好的幽默感”。因此只能选D。
本题是阅读理解能力考查题。原文是："Why are many finding it increasing-ly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships?”即“为什么许多人发现开始并保持亲密的关系越来越难呢？”选项A“减少”；选项B“动摇”；选项C“维持”；选项D"削弱”。只有C项符合原文。
