2022年考博英语-西安交通大学考前拔高综合测试题（含答案带详解）1. 单选题Since World War II, there has been a clearly discernible trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, go steady through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying looks and clucking of middle-aged tongues over the ways of wayward youth. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays; it doesnt arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it can almost be put down as a dictum that any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves ones problems; more often, it merely accentuates them. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home as an institution is capable of carrying ail that the young are seeking to put into it; one might say in theological terms, that they are forsaking one idol only to worship another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success” is the ultimate good, but they erroneously believe that they themselves have found the true center of lifes meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially Utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much and tragic disillusionment is often bound to follow.Shall we, then, join the chorus of Miserere, over early marriage? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by chronology, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or few false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones.1.According to this article, the tread toward early marriages（ ） .2.According to this article, successful marriages are determined by the emotional maturity of the partners and not by（ ） .3.More often than not, early marriage will（ ） .4.Youthful expectations of marriage can be described as （ ） .5.From the passage, we can conclude that （ ） .6.We can learn from the passage that （ ） .7.Young people can marry early（ ） .问题1选项A.is the result of the Great Depression of the 30sB.cannot be easily determinedC.is one that can be clearly seenD.is an outgrowth of the moral laxity brought about by World War II问题2选项A.financial considerationsB.parental consentC.educational backgroundsD.chronological age问题3选项A.not affect ones problemsB.solve a persons problemsC.intensify ones problemsD.ease ones problems问题4选项A.UtopianB.realisticC.materialisticD.tragic问题5选项A.people mature emotionally at different pacesB.people that marry early have a miserable lifeC.all young people marry earlier than their parents expectedD.early marriages are as bad as late marriages问题6选项A.it is natural for parents to believe success is the ultimate goodB.young people marry early for various reasonsC.young people date as early as they go to elementary schoolD.many old people and the middle-aged people think positively of early marriages问题7选项A.if they are not lonely and isolatedB.if they believe that they are emotionally matureC.if they are capable of dealing with personal problemsD.if they hold few illusions for a marriage and economically afford it【答案】第1题:C第2题:D第3题:C第4题:A第5题:A第6题:B第7题:D【解析】1.根据第一段的第一句“there has been a clearly discernible trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage.”可知, 早婚是一个明显的趋势, 所以选项C符合原文。2.根据最后一段第三句“Satisfactory marriages are determined not by chronology, but by the emotional maturity of the partners.”令人满意的婚姻不是由时间顺序决定的, 而是由伴侣的情感成熟度决定的。选项D符合原文。3.根据第二段第三句“The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves ones problems; more often, it merely accentuates them.”可悲的事实是, 婚姻几乎不会解决一个人的问题；更多的时候, 它只是在强调问题。也就是使问题变得更激烈, 所以选项C正确。4.根据第二段倒数第二句“Their expectations of marriage are essentially Utopian.”可知选项A正确。5.根据第一段最后两句可知, 情感成熟与年龄无关, 有的人很早就实现了, 有的人从未实现过。由此可知, 选项A符合原文。其他选项均表述太绝对, 所以不正确。6.根据第二段第一句“Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness.”许多学生把结婚作为一种逃避, 不仅是为了逃避不满意的家庭生活, 也是为了逃避自己的孤立和孤独。由此推断, 年轻人早婚的原因有很多。选项B正确。7.根据最后一段倒数第二句“if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or few false expectations,
