Previous research has shown that certain personality traits can affect a couples ability to adjust to marriage. In this study,a team of Canadian researchers report that a partners perfectionism greatly influences their and their mate s adjustment to marriage. “ Thus, perfectionism may be worth considering in the context of marital and family therapy,” write Dr. Paul L. Hewitt of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and his colleagues. Their study involved 76 couples who were married or had been living together for no more than four years. Perfectionism was determined by the extent to which the men and women agreed with statements such as, “ When I am working on something, I cannot relax until it is perfect.” Overall, men and women who identified their partners as perfectionists meaning they felt that their mates demanded perfection from them tended to report greater use of sarcasm(讽刺 )， nagging(唠叨 ) and other conflict-driven strategies to cope with their marital problems, study findings indicate. And when men used these conflict strategies, both they and their wives rated marital adjustment including their satisfaction with the marriage and the quality of their marital intimacy lower than did their peers. “ This suggests individuals personality traits may affect not only their own experience of the marriage, but the experience of their partner as well,” Hewitt and his colleagues write. Whats more, women, but not men, who expected perfection from their mates also seemed unhappy with the relationship, study findings indicate. They reported poorer marital functioning than did women who did not have such high demands of their partners. “ This finding may suggest that women who expect perfection from their spouses may be especially likely to be dissatisfied, because their spouses will inevitably fail to meet these expectations,” the researchers speculate. 21. What is true about perfectionists? A They can perform better in job interviews. B They have difficulty in getting married. C They are unable to enjoy intimate relationships. D They fail to adjust themselves well to marriage. 答案： D 解析 从第一段中 but new study findings suggest that they may struggle in marriage and other intimate relationships.这个句子和第二段中 In this study, a team of Canadian researchers report that a partners perfectionism greatly influences their and their mates adjustment to marriage. 因此 我们可以判断出答案是 D。 22 The study of Dr. Paul L. and his colleagues indicates that _.

One night the winds raged, the clouds burst and a gale（大风） force storm capsized a fishing boat at sea.In trouble, the crew sent out the S.O.S. The captain of the rescue rowboat team sounded the alarm and the villagers assembled in the town square overlooking the bay. While the team launched their rowboat and fought their way through the wild waves, the villagers waited restlessly on the beach, holding lanterns to light the way back. An hour later, the rescue boat reappeared through the fog and the cheering villagers ran to greet them. Falling exhausted on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more passengers and they had to leave one man behind.Even one more passenger would have surely capsized the rescue boat and all would have been lost. Frantically, the captain called for another volunteer team to go after the lone survivor. Sixteen-year-old Hans stepped forward.His mother grabbed his arm, pleading, “ Please don t go. Your father died in a shipwreck 10 years ago and your older brother, Paul,has been lost at sea for three weeks. Hans, you are all I have left.” Hans replied, “ Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service comes, we all need to take our turn and do our part.” Hans kissed his mother, joined the team and disappeared into the night. Another hour passed.The rescue boat moved through the fog with Hans standing up in the bow. Barely able to contain himself, Hans excitedly shouted at the captain, “ We found him. Tell my mother its my older brother, Paul!” 26. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _. A years ago a small village was almost damaged by a gale force storm B a rescue team would be of great importance to fishing industry C the fishing boats were always involved in trouble at sea D most villagers were volunteers of the rescue team 答案： B 解析本题是推理题，根据第一段的句子： Because the entire village revolved around the fishing industry, a volunteer rescue team was needed in cases of emergency. 因为这个村子都围绕着捕鱼业，因此需要一个自愿救援队以防紧急情况。根据这个句子我们可以推出救援队对于捕鱼业非常重要。 27 The world “ capsize” in Paragraph 1 means _. A strike B clash C upset D damage 答案： C 解析 upset 弄翻，打翻； strike 打击，敲打； clash 冲突； damage 损坏，破坏 28 What is true in Paragraph 2 about the rescue team according to the passage? A It had difficulty in advancing through the heavy fog. B It saved all but one passenger due to capacity problem. C It asked the villagers to hold lanterns for them to find more passengers. D It ordered the exhausted volunteer members to rest on the sand. 答案： B 解析本题是细节题，句子第二段第二句话： Falling exhausted on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more passengers and they had to leave one man behind. Even one more passenger would have surely capsized the rescue boat and all would have been lost. 从这个句子得知，救援船不能再装人了，他们只有留下一个人，如果再装一个人的话，整个救援船就会翻过来。因此本题选 B, 意思是：由于容量，除了一人以外，救援船救了所有的人。 29 Hans volunteered to join the rescue service because he _. A knew the lone survivor was probably his older brother B wanted to do something in memory of his father C intended to take up his responsibility for the village D tried to show his superior swimming skill 答案： C 解析本题是细节题，文章倒数第二段中有一句话： Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service comes, we all need to take our turn and do our part.”这个句子中“ do my duty 和 take our turn and do our part”的意思是“做我应该做的事，负起责任来”而选项 C 中，take up his responsibility 负起责任，与 do my duty, take our turn 是同义表达，因此选 C。 30 It is implied in the passage that _. A the little boys mother was too selfish B unselfish behaviors will be rewarded sometimes C the rescue boat should have enough capacity to save more passengers D the little boy shouldn t have taken the risk Reading Comprehension Basketball is a sport enjoyed by millions of fans in at least 100 countries.
