40. D
题目问根据Elshtain的说法,当前的道德衰落在什么情况下会反转(也就是变衰落为提升)。
A,如果人们能够回到黄金时代。
B,当男性与女性享有同等的权利。
C,当人们消除了偏见。
D,当物质较少受到重视的时候。
看了题目以后,可以发现最后一段的第一句话直接提到了Moral decline和reversed:Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society。这里使用了一个not until句式,这种句式与中国人的思维相差较大,可以把not去掉、until换成when来理解。这样的话,句意就很明显了:道德衰落出现反转是在人们发现对付社会流行的物质主义的方法的时候。这个意思应该说与D非常接近,应该选D。
A、B、C考查的都是倒数第二段的内容。篇章分析已经对这一段进行了详细说明。 2002.6
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like serious illness of a family member were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stressit only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.
