问题     A team at the University of Michigan recently published a study of how married couples fight. They also looked at how different "styles" of arguing might predict the future of a marriage.
    The findings appeared in the Journal of Marriage and Family.
    The study followed 373 couples over sixteen years. Forty-six percent of them had divorced by the final year in 2002.
    The couples were asked at four different times to report on their most recent conflict. And they had to agree on which conflict was their most recent one firstly.
    The husbands and wives each had to choose from a list of behaviors to describe the strategies they used. The list included constructive behaviors like calm discussion, listening, and trying hard to find out the other person’s feelings.
    The list also included destructive behaviors like yelling, using insults, walking away or not communicating—in other words, the silent treatment.
    The researchers found that different combinations of strategies may help predict whether a couple will stay together. The chances decrease if only one partner uses constructive strategies. [br] We can learn from the passage that if only one partner uses constructive strategies in conflicts, the couple______.
选项 A、is more likely to stay together
B、will divorce sooner or later
C、is more likely to divorce
D、is less likely to have conflicts
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。文章最后一段末句提到，如果只有一方采用积极性策略，夫妇在一起的几率会降低，也就是说他们的离婚率会上升。A)“更可能在一起”与文意相反；B)“迟早会离婚”过于绝对，文中并未提及；D)“出现冲突的可能性更小”与文意不符。
