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,fit in different ways from relation- ships. 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 (,L'J2Jk) was constrained 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 (牡蛎), 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But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint: the tyranny of choice.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 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-rea- ring creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.
10[单选题]What does the recent poll show?
A.It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husband.
B.It is getting increasingly difficult to start a family.
C.It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wife.
D.It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse.
参考答案:B
参考解析:本题的答题依据在文章的段里就能够找到。依据民意测验的成果,有一半人以为找自己成个家越来越难。但没有说是男子找老婆难,仍是女性找老公难,而是把男女都包含在内的。
11[单选题] Which of the following is NOT true about a contemporary married couple?

13[单选题] Which of the following is NOT expected of a partner according to this passage?
A.Good looks.

参考解析:文章在谈到现代人对择偶的等待时说“The expectations of pawners are inflated to an unmanageable degree:good looks,impressive salar)...”后边又说到面临购房和抚育孩子的压力,需求有一个安稳的收入和工作“The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.”所以good looks,salary,career都说到了,只要幽默感没有说到。
