Passage Two

 Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge(剧增)of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage, Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The converse(反面)of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage.In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to estabZish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to iife, the number of marriages also rises.

The increase in divorce rates follows, with the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions.The impactof a wife's work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions.The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a workir.g wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage.But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非的). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a family's standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family's financia! and emotional stability.

Psychologicai factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blockecZ from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house.She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce.

  • A. defy
  • B. signal
  • C. suffer from
  • D. result from

It is said in th.e passage that when the economy slides ( ).

Passage One

The largest earthquake (magnitude里氏9.5)of the 20th century happened on May 22,1960 0ff the coast of South Central Chile.

 It generated(生成) one of the most destructive Pacific-wide tsunami(海啸). Near the generating area, both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive, particularly in the coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isla Chiloe.The largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloe-the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中).Huge tsuna- mi waves measuring as high as 25 meters arrived within l0 to 15 minutes after the earthquake, killing at least two hundred people, sinking all the boats, and flooding half a kilometer inland.

 There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion, Chile's top industrial city.Near the city of Valdivia, the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people. At the port city of Valparaiso, a city of 200,000, many buildings collapsed. A total of 130,000 houses were destroyed-one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,000 people were left homeless.

 Total damage losses, including agriculture and industry, were estimated(估计) to be over a half billion dollars. The total number of deaths related with both the tsunami and the earthquake was never found accurately for the region. Estimates of deaths reached between 490 and 57,002 with no distinction(差别) as to how many deaths were caused by the earthquake and how many were caused by the tsunami. However, it is believed that most of the deaths in Chile were caused by the tsunami.
