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． On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union．
Also, a major part of women's inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases,men have remained the main breadwinners． A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house． Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities．
The word “portend”(Line 2, Para． 1) is closest in meaning to“( )”．
A． defy
B． signal
C． suffer from
D． result from

Reading ComprehensionDirections:There are two passages iⅡthis part． Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D．You should decide on the best choice．Questions 56- 60 are based on Passage One:Passage OneThe law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them．The reality is very different．Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act,many of them still get paid less than men．They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won't consider．And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children．All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government's Women's Unite．The biggest problem isn't equal pay in workplaces such as factories．It is a sort of work women do．Make a list of the low-paid jobs, then consider who do them．Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies,and child care helpers． Not a lot of men among that group, are there?Yet some of those jobs are really important．Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start．So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women．This is not going to be put right overnight． But the Government which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start．It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st century but still treat women as second-class citizens．Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as Men( )．A． after 25 yearsB． according to the lawC． as a result of the Equal Pay ActD． because women are as strong as men
