1、Whatcanwelearnaboutmarriagevowsfromthepassage?

Theymaynotguaranteealastingmarriage.

B、Theyareasbindingastheyusedtobe.

C、Theyarenottakenseriouslyanymore.

D、Theymayhelpcouplestideoverhardtimes.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据首段第一句，在传统的结婚誓言中，伴侣们承诺无

论是疾病还是健康都要在一起，第二句继而转折指出，一项新的研究发现，在年龄

大一些的伴侣中，当妻子而不是丈夫得了严重的疾病时，离婚的风险增加了。由此

可见，结婚誓言并不能保证持久的婚姻，故选A。

2、WhatdidKarrakerandco-authorKenzieLathamfindaboutelderlyhusbands?

A^Theyaregenerallynotgoodattakingcareofthemselves.

B、Theycanbecomeincreasinglyvulnerabletoseriousillnesses.

C、Theycandevelopdifferentkindsofillnessesjustliketheirwives.

D、Theyaremorelikelytocontractseriousillnessesthantheirwives.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：事实细节题。根据第四段第一句，研究人员研究了四种严重的身体疾

病的发生对婚姻的影响。最后一句又提到，随着时间的推移，新的慢性疾病出现的

几率也会增加，而且丈夫比妻子会更多地出现严重的健康问题。由此可知，老年男

性比老年女性更有可能罹患重病，故选D。

3、WhatdoesKarrakersayaboutwomenwhofallill?

A、Theyaremorelikelytobewidowed.

B、Theyaremorelikelytogetdivorced.

C^Theyarelesslikelytoreceivegoodcare.

D、Theyarelesslikelytobothertheirspouses.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：事实细节题。根据第五段，女性在面对疾病时，会加倍地容易受到婚

姻破裂的打击，她们更有可能寡居，而如果她们是那个生病的人，则更有可能被离

婚。由此可见，当女性患病时，容易遭遇离婚的处境，故选B。

4、Whyisitmoredifficultformentotakecareoftheirsickspousesaccordingto

Karraker?

A、Theyaremoreaccustomedtoreceivingcare.

Theyfinditmoreimportanttomakemoneyforthefamily.

C、Theythinkitmoreurgenttofulfilltheirsocialobligations.

D、Theyexpectsocietytodomoreofthejob.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据第六段第二、三句，性别准则以及对关怀付出的社

会预期使得男性很难为重病的配偶提供关爱，而且婚姻市场，尤其是老年婚姻市场

的不平衡致使离婚男性比离婚女性有更多选择潜在伴侣的机会。由此可见，男性之

所以不能悉心照料患病的伴侣是因为人们对不同性别所应承担的照顾人的责任有不

同的预期，故选A。

5、WhatdoesKarrakerthinkisalsoimportant?

A^Bcducingmaritalstressonwives.

B、Stabilizingoldcouples'relations.

C^Providingextracarefordivorcedwomen.

D^Makingmenpayfbrtheirwives'healthcosts.

标准答案：c

知识点露析：事实细节题。根据最后一段最后一句，同样重要的是，人们要意识到

离婚的压力是与健康有关的，而前妻们需要额外的照料和服务，以阻止健康状况日

益恶化和医疗费用的增加。由此可见，一旦前妻们患有重病，人们需要给其提供更

多的关怀与帮助，故选C。

6、Howmightpeopleoftenfeelwhentheyweremisnamed?

A、Unwanted.

B、Unhappy.

C^Confused.

D^indifferent.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：事实细节题。根据首段第一句，如果你和大多数孩子一样，当你的母

亲将你误叫成了兄弟姐妹的名字时，你很有可能感到难过沮丧。由此可见，当被人

叫错名字的时候，人们的反应是不高兴的，认为被忽略，没有被重视，故选B。

7、WhatdidDavidRubin'sresearchfindaboutmisnaming?

A、Itisrelatedtothewayourmemorieswork.

B、Itisapossibleindicatorofafaultymemory.

C^Itoccursmostlybetweenkidsandtheirfriends.

D、Itoftencausesmisunderstandingsamongpeople.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第二句，根据第一个积极解决这一话题的研

究，叫错生活中最熟悉的人的名字是一个普通的认知错误，这个错误与我们的记忆

如何归类和储存熟悉的名字有关。由此可知，叫错他人姓名的情况之所以会出现，

这与我们的记忆工作模式有关，故选A。

8、Whatismostlikelythecauseofmisnaming?

A、Similarpersonalitytraits.

B、Similarspellingsofnames.

C^Similarphysicalappearance.

D、Similarpronunciationofnames.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第一句，该研究还发现，在那个组里，叫错

名字的情况会发生在名字共有开头或中间的发音，例如吉米、乔安妮或是约翰和鲍

勃。由此可见，名字中相似的发音会引起被叫错姓名的情况发生，故选D。

9、Whatdidthesurveysofmorethan1,700subjectsfindaboutmisnaming?

A、itmoreoftenthannothurtsrelationships.

B、Ithardlyoccursacrossgenderboundaries.

C、Itismostfrequentlyfoundinextendedfamilies.

D、Itmostoftenoccurswithinarelationshipgroup.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：事实细节题。根据第五段最后一句，所有的调查都发现，人们对于名

字的混淆往往存在于某种关系群体中，例如孙子辈的孩子们、朋友和兄弟姐妹，但

是很少跨越这个边界。由此可见，混淆名字的事情往往是发生在某种关系群体中，

故选D。

10、Whydomothersmisnametheirchildrenmoreoftenthanfathers?

A、Theysuffermorefrustrations.

B>Theybecomewormoutmoreoften.

C、Theycommunicatemorewiththeirchildren.

D、Theygenerallytakeonmoreworkathome.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理判断题。根据域后一段第三句，鉴于传统的性别准则，母亲叫孩

子的名字的次数也多于父亲。传统的性别准则即指母亲在家里承担照顾子女的职

责，而父亲在外挣钱养家，由此可见，母亲之所以会出现较多的叫错孩子姓名的情

况，是因为与孩子们交流得更多，故选C。
