【选项翻译与答案详解】

1.DavidBlankenhorn认为,人们通常认为_________。

A)对于一段不美满的婚姻,离婚比勉强在一起是更好的解决方法。

B)对于一段不美满的婚姻,离婚不一定是唯一的解决方法。

C)要维系一段不美满的婚姻需要很大的勇气和容忍度。

D)要不要结束一段不美满的婚姻对于夫妻来说是一个很难做的决定。

[A]根据第2段第5句首先可以推断人们普遍的观点与研究结果相反。第2段开头四句表明坚持不离婚的人最终的情况会变得比离婚的人好,与此相反的观点即为:人们通常认为离婚比坚持不离婚好。因此选项A为本题答案。选项B是本文的主题,研究的结果也支持这个说法,而人们普遍的看法应与此相反;第2段并没有讨沦如何才能维持婚姻,选项C是无关内容;本段对比了婚姻不幸福的人采取不同做法的结果,并没有讨论人们面临婚姻问题时内心的挣扎,因此选项D也是无关内容。

2.下列关于正在讨论的研究哪一个是正确的

A)研究是由DavidBlankenhorn任所长的美国价值观研究所主持的。

B)研究是由婚姻、家庭和夫妻教育联盟资助的。

C)研究对象选自基于芝加哥大学的全国数据库。

D)研究报告会被纳入“智慧婚姻”大会的日程当中。

[D]第2段末句表明“智慧婚姻”会议的内容包括宣读研究报告,由此可见,选项D是对第2段末句的近义改写。第2段第6句表明选项A中提到的研究所赞助该研究,并非“主持”开展该研究,而且原文也没有表示DavidBlankenhorn是该研究所的领导,故A不正确;第2段段末sponsoredby引出的名词结构修饰的对象是“智慧婚姻”会议,它并没有赞助该研究,故选项B不对;database在第2段首句提到,theUniversityofChicago在第6句提到,它们之间并没有关系,选项C也不对。

3.13项心理健康指标是用来__________。

A)作为选择研究对象的标准

B)作为帮助成年人解决不美满婚姻的方法

C)检测所有的5232名已婚人士

D)检测数据库中的所有成年人

4.形容作者对于离婚的态度最好的形容词是___________.

A)批判的B)客观的C)模棱两可的D)讽刺的

5.根据报告所称,婚姻不美满的人如果只是________也许不能挽救婚姻。

A)坐等生活水平提高

B)得到子女的理解

C)改变自己对于平庸婚姻的态度

D)着手解决自己的问题,加强沟通

[B]选项B在原文没有提及,虽然倒数第3段第2句也提到了有关children的信息,但从该句不能推断出与understanding有关的任何信息,因此B符合本题题意。选项A概括了政善婚姻的第1条途径;选项D是第2途径;而选项C是第3条途径。

【参考译文】

离婚不一定使成年人快乐,而一项新的研究认为忍受不快乐的婚姻直到它出现转机,可能使人快乐。

该研究从一个全国性的数据库中选出配偶,分为快乐型和不快乐型。在离婚的不快乐型伴侣中,约有半数的人5年后变得快乐了。[1]但坚持不离婚的不快乐型配偶往往情况更佳,5年后约有三分之二的人变得快乐了。家庭问题智囊机构美国价值观研究所的戴维·布兰肯霍说,研究结果与看似常理的观点不一致。该研究所协助为一个设在芝加哥大学的研究小组提供赞助。[2]研究结果将在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿市召开的“智慧婚姻”会议上宣读,这次会议由婚姻、家庭、夫妻教育联盟赞助举办。

这项研究考察了从全国家庭和家务调查中选出的5232位已婚成人的资料,其中645人生活得不快乐。[3]人们对全国抽样的这些成年人进行了13项心理健康指标分析。5年中,过得不快乐的人中有l67人离婚或分居,478人维持婚姻。

研究报告指出,与维持婚姻的人相比,离婚的人并没有减轻他们的抑郁症状、提高自信,或增强自我把握的意识。研究结果针对种族、年龄、性别、收入等因素进行了调整。维持婚姻不一定必然使不快乐的夫妻陷入恶化的关系。是什么促使不快乐的婚姻出现转机呢为补充正式的研究数据,研究小组请求专业公司征集了共55名“婚姻幸存者”组成重点研究小组。这些人都经历了从不快乐婚姻到快乐婚姻的过程。研究报告显示,这55名曾对婚姻不满的人觉得他们婚姻的改善得益于以下3种途径之一:

婚姻建设。夫妻双方积极行动“以解决问题。改变自身行为举止或增进交流”。

个人变化。夫妻双方找到“其他途径来提升自身的快乐、创造美好快乐的生活,尽管他们的婚姻勉强凑合”。实际上,不快乐的配偶发生了变化。
