　　张静中学2014高考英语一轮阅读题及答案二十

　　  阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项                     A     Women enjoy free time less than men, a new study finds. And it’s getting worse.     When men have free time, they feel less rushed. However, women do not feel less rushed after work.     The results suggest that mothers in particular feel the pressures of children and housework even when they have time to relax. The meanings of free time for men and women are quite different, said Saver, the assistant professor of this study.     The study was based on two national surveys, one in the mid-1970s involving 708 people and the other in the late 1990s with 1,151 participants.     The participants kept diaries on how they spent a specific 24-hour period. They were also asked how often they felt rushed during a typical day -- never, sometimes or always.     The workload increased for women between 1975 and 1998, especially in comparison with men.     In 1975, women and men had similar amounts of free time, but by 1998 women had had less leisure time than men.     "Women worked more hours in paid employment in 1998 than they did in 1975, Saver said. "The amount of time they spent in household labor decreased during that period, but not enough to offset (抵消) the increase in paid work hours."     The chance of feeling sometimes or always rushed was more than twice as high for married women with children than it was for single, childless women, But men who were married and had children didn't feel more rushed than single, childless men.    Saver said other research suggests women still feel more responsible for taking care of children and housework, even if men are doing more than they once did. 1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?      A. Women won't think about their children or housework when they have free time.      B. When men have free time, they will feel as rushed as when they are busy.      C. Men spend more time at work than before, but they feel less rushed.      D. After marriage, men also help to do some housework.  2. The purpose of the author writing this article is to______.      A. encourage women to enjoy more free time      B. introduce the results of current research      C. describe the differences between men and women      D. explain the reasons for women’s pressures  3. Compared with single, childless men, men who were married _______.      A. had to spend more time on work      B. had to do more housework      C. could enjoy less leisure time      D. didn't feel more rushed  4. What would be the best title for the passage?      A. Men Hold More Social Responsibilities      B. Women Suffer from More Illnesses      C. Women Feel More Rushed than Men      D. Men Get More Rewards from Work
