5.C.文章最后一段提到了政府對(duì)農(nóng)村的投入，可知政府采取了措施來(lái)發(fā)展鄉(xiāng)村經(jīng)濟(jì)。

6.C.由接下來(lái)提到應(yīng)用的比率及這個(gè)比率與發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的比較，可知應(yīng)用得并不充分，但也不是只有一點(diǎn)兒。

7.C.今年是431.8，比去年增長(zhǎng)了80.1，那么去年應(yīng)當(dāng)是這兩個(gè)數(shù)的差，即351.7。

8.D.D當(dāng)中提到的中國(guó)的城市化引起了農(nóng)村人口的流動(dòng)，這是引起農(nóng)村問(wèn)題的原因，不是問(wèn)題本身。

C.Inordertosecuretheirmarriagewomenshouldworkoutsidethehomeandremainindependent

D.Theimpactofthegrowingfemaleworkforceonmarriagevariesfromcasetocase.答案與解析：

本文是一篇對(duì)比文，特點(diǎn)是平行論述，沒(méi)有主次之分，作者不發(fā)表態(tài)度和結(jié)論，一般兩種觀點(diǎn)的開(kāi)頭可當(dāng)做文章主旨。9.B.詞義題。根據(jù)句意不難理解portend是預(yù)示的意思。signal也有顯示的意思；defy不服從,反抗；sufferfrom忍受,遭受；resultfrom由……產(chǎn)生。

10.D.細(xì)節(jié)題。題干的theeconomyslides等于原文的economicdownturns。文中提到經(jīng)濟(jì)低迷時(shí)期人們傾向推遲婚姻，因?yàn)殡p方不能承擔(dān)一個(gè)家庭或者擔(dān)心更窘迫的日子。D符合原文意思。

11.C.細(xì)節(jié)題。第三段最后一句可知答案C正確。

12.A.細(xì)節(jié)題。第三段第二句提到不能外出工作的婦女會(huì)感到被關(guān)在籠子里，相當(dāng)于A.theyfeelthattheyhavebeenrobbedoftheirfreedom.她們感到被剝奪了自由。

13.D.主旨題。用排除法解題。A因果顛倒，排除；B文章從未提及；C以偏蓋全；只有D，女性的外出工作對(duì)婚姻的影響是一例與一例不一樣的，才準(zhǔn)確表達(dá)出文章的兩種平行的相反觀點(diǎn)。
