问题     A team at the University of Michigan recently published a study of how married couples fight. They also looked at how different "styles" of arguing might predict the future of a marriage.
    The findings appeared in the Journal of Marriage and Family.
    The study followed 373 couples over sixteen years. Forty-six percent of them had divorced by the final year in 2002.
    The couples were asked at four different times to report on their most recent conflict. And they had to agree on which conflict was their most recent one firstly.
    The husbands and wives each had to choose from a list of behaviors to describe the strategies they used. The list included constructive behaviors like calm discussion, listening, and trying hard to find out the other person’s feelings.
    The list also included destructive behaviors like yelling, using insults, walking away or not communicating—in other words, the silent treatment.
    The researchers found that different combinations of strategies may help predict whether a couple will stay together. The chances decrease if only one partner uses constructive strategies. [br] According to the research, the silent treatment in conflicts is______.
选项 A、constructive
B、destructive
C、calm
D、insulting
答案 B
解析 细节推断题。倒数第二段列举了具有破坏性的行为，其中包括大喊大叫、使用侮辱性语言、走开或者不交流，也就是所谓的冷处理。因此该研究将不交流列为破坏性行为。A)“建设性的”与题意相反，C)“冷静的”和D)“侮辱性的”均不符合题意。
