参考答案【正确答案：D】
细节题。此题的关键是要找到题干中信息词在原文中的定位。原文中我们看到这句话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就对应题干中的slides，指经济下滑。那么根据这句话的理解，我们知道经济不景气会使人们推迟结婚，也就是维持单身状态，只有当经济反弹向好时，结婚的人数才会回暖。选项A并不符合题意，文章只是说妇女拥有了挣钱的能力使其变成一个 “more attractive as a marriage partner”，但是这与经济是否衰退无关。C选项则篡改了原文含义，B选项则根本违反了文中信息。

- 8 【英译汉】 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.
