參考答案【正確答案：D】
細(xì)節(jié)題。此題的關(guān)鍵是要找到題干中信息詞在原文中的定位。原文中我們看到這句話Data show that economic downturns tend to postpone marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy rebounds, the number of marriages also rises.其中的economic downturns就對應(yīng)題干中的slides，指經(jīng)濟下滑。那么根據(jù)這句話的理解，我們知道經(jīng)濟不景氣會使人們推遲結(jié)婚，也就是維持單身狀態(tài)，只有當(dāng)經(jīng)濟反彈向好時，結(jié)婚的人數(shù)才會回暖。選項A并不符合題意，文章只是說婦女擁有了掙錢的能力使其變成一個 “more attractive as a marriage partner”，但是這與經(jīng)濟是否衰退無關(guān)。C選項則篡改了原文含義，B選項則根本違反了文中信息。

- 8 【英譯漢】 When people in developing countries worry about migration, they are usually concerned at the prospect of their best and brightest departure to Silicon Valley or to hospitals and universities in the developed world. These are the kind of workers that countries like Britain, Canada and Australia try to attract by using immigration rules that privilege college graduates . Lots of studies have found that well-educated people from developing countries are particularly likely to emigrate. A big survey of Indian households in 2004 found that nearly 40% of emigrants had more than a high-school education, compared with around 3.3% of all Indians over the age of 25. This "brain drain "has long bothered policymakers in poor countries. They fear that it hurts their economies, depriving them of much-needed skilled workers who could have taught at their universities ,worked in their hospitals and come up with clever new products for their factories to make.
