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 the people in our society.

What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. Twenty- five years ago, the typical American family consisted of the husband, the wife, and two or three children. Now, there are many marriages in whichcouples 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 .

Thus, one can find every type of tamely arrangement. There are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriages; marriages with“full - time”children from both the present and former marriages; marriages with“full- time”children from the present marriage and“part- time”childrenfrom 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.

1.[B] 事實細節(jié)題。本題考查特殊符號處。作者在第1段第2句很清楚地在Americans are a marrying people后面用冒號引出對這一說法的解釋。對比選項A與選項B，就可發(fā)現(xiàn)選項A不夠完整。

2.[A] 推理判斷題。第1段第1句的主語揭示了答案應為選項A。選項B與原文第1段第3句的陳述不符，選項C和D均無原文依據(jù)。

3.[D] 推理判斷題。本題涉及第2段的理解，該段第1句是一個主語從句，也可視為該段的主題句，點出了本段的主題是nuclear family，該段其他句子描述了什么是nuclear family。本題其實考査哪個選項是對nuclear family的正確描述，明白了第2段的結構后，找出正確答案就不難了。

4.[C] 推理判斷題。在最 后一段第1句中，通過對比full-time和part-time的本義，以及聯(lián)系上下文講到的家庭現(xiàn)象，可以推斷出part-time children應是指時不時和父親或母親生活的小孩，由此可見，選項C是正確答案。 選項A毫無原文依據(jù)，B明顯錯誤，題干中問的是part-time children，故顯然不可能spend all of their time,否則修飾語就應該是full-time,選項D與“It is not all that unusual…”相悖。

5.[C] 推理判斷題。文章結尾處暗示了答案。原文并未討論婚姻的功能，故選項A不對，選項B并無依據(jù)，選項D有悖第2段第1句的意思。

英語老師希望以上關于六級閱讀的分享能夠真正幫助到正在復習備考的同學們。在復習過程中遇到問題是不可避免的，但是同學們一定要保持好心態(tài)，堅持不懈，相信一定會取得優(yōu)異的成績!
