27、:_填空项 1:_十一、Section B(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Modern Marriage AmericaNew marriageA. The wedding of the 20th century, in 1981, celebrated a marriage that turned out to be a huge bust. It ended as badly as a relationship can: scandal, divorce and, ultimately, death and worldwide weeping.B. So when the firstbor
28、n son of that union, Britains Prince William, set in motion the wedding of this century by getting engaged to Catherine Middleton, he did things a little differently. He picked someone older than he is (by six months), who went to the same university he did and whom hed dated for a long time.C. Alth
29、ough she is not of royal blood. she stands to become the first English Queen with a university degree, so in one fundamental way, theirs is a union of equals. In that regard, the new couple reflects the changes in the shape and nature of marriage that have been rippling throughout the Western world
30、for the past few decades.D. In fact, statistically speaking, a young man of Williams ageif not his royal English heritagemight be just as likely not to get married, yet. In 1960, the year before Princess Diana, Williams mother, was born, nearly 70% of American adults were married; now only about hal
31、f are. Eight times as many children are born out of wedlock. Back then, two-thirds were married; in 2008 just 26% were. And college graduates are now far more likely to marry (64%) than those with no higher education (48%). Why marriage is wanted?E. When an institution so central to human experience
32、 suddenly changes shape in the space of a generation or two. Its worth trying to figure out why. This fall the Pew Research Center, in association with TIME, conducted a nationwide poll exploring the contours of modern marriage and the new American family, posing questions about what people want and
33、 expect out of marriage and family life, why they enter into committed relationships and what they gain from them. What we found is that marriage, whatever its social, spiritual or symbolic appeal, is in purely practical terms just not as necessary as it used to be. Neither men nor women need to be
34、married to have sex or companionship or professional success or respect or even children-yet marriage remains revered and desired.F. And of all the transformations our family structures have undergone in the past 50 years, perhaps the most profound is the marriage differential that has opened betwee
35、n the rich and the poor. In 1960 the median household income of married adults was 12% higher than that of single adults, after adjusting for household size. By 2008 this gap had grown to 41%. In other words, the richer and more educated you are, the more likely you are to marry, or to be marriedor,
36、 conversely, if youre married, youre more likely to be well off.G. The question of why the wealth disparity between the married and the unmarried has grown so much is related to other, broader issues about marriage: whom it best serves, how it relates to parenting and family life and how its volunta
37、ry nature changes social structures. The marrying kind.H. In 1978, when the divorce rate was much higher than it is today, a TIME poll asked Americans if they thought marriage was becoming obsolete. Twenty-eight percent did.I. Since then, weve watched that famous royal marriage and the arrival of Di
38、vorce Court. Weve tuned in to Family Ties (nuclear family with three kids)and Modem Family(nuclear family with three kids, plus gay uncles with an adopted Vietnamese baby and a grandfather with a Colombian second wife and dorky stepchild). Weve spent time with Will and Grace, who bickered like spous
39、es but werent, and with the stars of Newlyweds: Nick we have more faith in the family than we do in the nations education system or its economy. Were just more flexible about how family gets defined.K. Even more surprising: overwhelmingly, Americans still venerate marriage enough to want to try it.
40、About 70% of us have been married at least once, according to the 2010 Census. The Pew poll found that although 44% of Americans under 30 believe marriage is heading for extinction,only 5% of those in that age group do not want to get married. Sociologists note that Americans have a rate of marriage
41、and of remarriageamong the highest in the Western world. (In between is a divorce rate higher than that of most countries in the European Union.) We spill copious amounts of ink and spend copious amounts of money being anxious about manage, both collectively and individually. We view the state of ou
42、r families as a symbol of the state of our nation. and we treat marriage as a personal project, something we work at and try to perfect. “Getting married is a way to show family and friends that you have a successful personal life. “ says Andrew Cherlin, a sociologist at Johns Hopkins University and
43、 the author of The Marriage-Go-Round, The State of Marriage and the Family in America Today. “Its like the ultimate merit badge. “L. But if marriage is no longer obligatory or even-in certain cases-helpful, then what is it for? Its impossible to address that question without first answering another:
44、 Who is marriage for? The new marriage gap to begin to answer that question, it might be useful to take a look at the brief but illustrative marriage of golfer Greg Norman and tennis star Chris Evert. Who married in June 2008 and divorced 15 months later. From all reports, their union had many of th
45、e classic hallmarks of modern partnerships. The bride and groom had roughly equal success in their careers. Being wealthy, sporty and blond, they had similar interests. She was older than he, and theyd had other relationships before. (Shed had two previous spouses and he one. ) Plus, theyd known eac
46、h other a while, since Everts newly minted ex-husband, Andy Mill, was Normans best friend.M. Apart from the interest the union generated in the tabloids, this is typical of the way many marriages start. Modem brides and grooms tend to be older and more similar. In particular, Americans are increasin
47、gly marrying people who are on the same socioeconomic and educational level. Fifty years ago, doctors commonly proposed to nurses and businessmen to their secretaries. Even 25 years ago, a professional golfer might malty, say, a flight attendant. Now doctors tend to cleave unto other doctors, and ex
48、ecutives hope to be part of a power couple.N. The change is mostly a numbers game. Since more women than men have graduated from college for several decades, its more likely than it used to be that a male college graduate will meet, fall in love with, wed and share the salary of a woman with a degree. Womens advances in education have roughly paralleled the growth of the knowledge economy, so the slice of the family bac
