More surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving. As Skolnick notes, Americans are a marrying people: relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after a decline in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context:some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry. Thus, marriage remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society.
What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty five years ago, the typical American family consisted of a husband, a wife, and two or three children. Now, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children. And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wife’s previous marriage, or the husband’s, or both. Sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses (配偶).
Thus, one can find every type of family arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriage; marriages with "full-time" children from both the present and former marriages; marriages with "full-time" children from the present marriage and "part-time" children from former marriages. There are stepfathers, stepmothers, half brothers, and half sisters. It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. But even so, even in the midst of all this, there remains one constant; most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.
Divorced Americans______.
选项
A、will most likely remarry
B、prefer the way they live
C、have lost faith in marriage
D、are the vast majority of people in the society
答案
A
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问离婚了的美国人如何。利用查阅式阅读法,我们发现原文第一段第四句指出,即使将离婚率这一因素也考虑进目前这种倾向婚配的趋势中,我们也会发现:80%的离婚者会选择再婚。因此,本题的正确答案应是A“很可能会再婚”。B“喜欢自己的生活方式,即离婚独过的生活方式”。可见,这与事实相反。C“对婚姻失去了信心”。这也与事实相反,否则,他们大部分人就不会再婚了。D“占社会中的大多数”。相反,正如第一段第三句所指出的,结婚率在70年代初降到最低以后,一直到现在正处于上升阶段。因此,B、C和D均为错误的。
