6
月大学英语四级考试已然结束，广大考生应该有切身的感触，今

同时在中年人群中，
由于疾病而引发的离婚也 成为关注
的对象。
今年的四级阅读真题正是在这样的背景下应运而生。
考生除了掌握相 关的阅读解题
技巧之外，还需要具备一定的科学素养和批判性思维。


can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?

答案：
A they may not guarantee a lasting marriage

解析：
通过

marriage vows
可定位到文章第一段，
But a new study finds that the risk of divorce
among older married couples rises when the wife
—
but not the husband
—
becomes seriously ill.
说明
vows
并不能保证长久的婚姻关系。而且结合下 文可以看出在疾病面前，尤其是当妻子
生病后，婚姻关系更容易破裂。其他选项都与这个主题不符合。所 以不选。

did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?
答案：
47B They can become increasingly vulnerable to serious illnesses.
解析：通过

题干可定位至原文第四段：
The incidence of new chronic illness onset increased
over time as well, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.
根据句意< br>随着时间的增长，
新的慢性病的发病率也随之增高，
在患病的夫妻当中，
丈夫的 数量超过妻
子。同时第五段中也有相关的句子。
“We found that women are doubly vulnerable to marital
dissolution in the fac
e of illness,” Karraker said. “They are more likely to be widowed, and if they
are the ones who become ill, they are more likely to get divorced.”

四个选项中，
B
比较符合原文，
contract serious illnesses than their wives
与

more husbands than
wives developing serious health problems.

48.
What does Karraker say about women who fall ill?
答案：
48B they are more likely to get divorced
解析：由题目顺序和题干定位到第五段

“They are more likely to be widowed, and if they are
the ones who become ill, they are more likely to get divorc ed.”
大意为，如果丈夫得重病，妻子
更容易成为寡妇，而如果她们得病，则可能以离婚结束 。
A
选项和原文相反，
C
与
D
选项
原文没有明确的 信息。

is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?
答案：
49A they are more accustomed to receiving care

解析：通过题干定位到第六段
“Gender
norms
and
social
expectati
ons
about
care-giving
may
make it more difficult for men to provide care to ill spouses,”

词句大意是性别的常态
（在照顾人
方面）以及社会的看 法导致男性很难做到照顾生病的配偶。其他选项都不符合原文的意思。
