參考答案

1.B解析：本題可從選項(xiàng)人手，看看哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)在SamWalton這個(gè)人名附近有提及，這樣一來就可以確定選項(xiàng)B為本題答案，其他選項(xiàng)都沒有在原文提及。

2.socialandeconomiccostsocialandeconomiccost解析：根據(jù)第十段第三句話“Ithinkthegovernmenthasaresponsibilitytolookatthefullsocialandeconomiccostofrelationshipfragility．”可知，人們呼吁政府承擔(dān)責(zé)任，弄清家庭危機(jī)對經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會(huì)所產(chǎn)生的影響。故“socialandeconomiccost”是正確答案。

3.avoidavoid解析：詞匯理解題?！皐ardoff”的意思為“避開”。A)avoid(避免)；B)care(治愈)：C)delay(延遲)；D)reduce(減少)。在語義上，答案A最接近。

4.B解析：同義轉(zhuǎn)述題。根據(jù)原文可知，為了保持與退休前同等水平的生活，你只需花以前花費(fèi)的80%，而節(jié)省下20%，即工作開銷的那筆錢。由此可知B為答案。
