The birthrate in Europe has been in a steady decrease since the 1960s. European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.
Affairs Ministry concluded last year that, 11 cash encouragement, some women just don’t want to be 12 holding the baby. “What we know is that it’s good for the 13___ if men and women share the burden of having children,” says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry. 14 Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n) 15 _ day off work.
Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers 16 to give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave (產(chǎn)假). In January, Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months’ paid leave, with a warming: use it or 17 it.
Kindlund admits that men are under 18 to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. “It’s not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace,” he says. “But it’s good for the father and for the child if they can 19 a relationship.”
In Norway, a(n) 20 policy has worked wonders. 70% of dads in Norway now take parental leave, and the birthrate of 1.85 children per woman is one of the highest in Europe.

歐洲國家的人口出生率呈不斷的下降趨勢,這是為什么?國家采取了不少的對策,可仍然見效甚微,又為什么?這篇文章會告訴你。
11、語句連貫詞義比較 歐洲國家意識到其人口出生率呈不斷的下降趨勢后,現(xiàn)在正鼓勵父母親多生子女?墒牵还(in spite of)政府部門用提供現(xiàn)金鼓勵,還是怎樣,……。in spite of不顧, 不管;at the cost of以……為代價;in addition to 除...之外;due to由于, 應(yīng)歸于。
12、詞義辨析句法結(jié)構(gòu) 一些婦女就是不想被丈夫留(leave)在家里帶孩子,而他們卻不在家里。這四個詞均可用于動詞+賓語(人)+賓語補(bǔ)語(現(xiàn)在分詞)的結(jié)構(gòu),send sb. doing sth.通常強(qiáng)調(diào)使/驅(qū)使/迫使/打發(fā)某人做某事;leave sb. doing sth. 表示使/讓/撇下某人做某事,并含有“不再理會”的意義;catch sb. doing sth.突然抓住某人正在做某事;see sb. doing sth.看見某人正在做某事。
13、邏輯推理前后照應(yīng)詞義比較 如果男人和女人都分擔(dān)其養(yǎng)孩子的重載,這對于家庭收入(income),健康(health)和精神(spirit)未必會有好處,但明顯對提高出生率(birthrate)有利。
14、語句連貫詞義比較 即便是瑞典的父母親可以隨意地帶工資休假,但也只有12%的男人只有做。just as就象……一樣;only if只有,只要,表示條件關(guān)系;even though即便,縱使,表示讓步關(guān)系;now that既然,表示因果關(guān)系。
15、邏輯推理詞義辨析 60%的做父親的人就連一(single)天的工作也不想耽誤。one通常不直接用在a之后,除非其前有形容詞;mere僅僅的, 只不過的,純粹的;only唯一的,單獨(dú)的,其前通常不用不定冠詞,而用定冠詞;single唯一的,單一的,其前可用不定冠詞或定冠詞。
16 B 詞義比較邏輯推理 專家擔(dān)心,由于是婦女使用大部分的雙親假期,這樣老板就不會愿意(reluctant)給年輕的婦女提供永久性的工作,因?yàn)樗齻兊脦еべY休產(chǎn)假。willing樂意的, 自愿的;reluctant不愿意的, 勉強(qiáng)的;likely很可能的, 合適的, unable不能的,不會的。
17、詞義比較邏輯推理 并警告說:不享受假期就失去(lose)假期。reserve保存, 保留;misuse誤用, 錯用, 濫用;ignore不理睬, 忽視;lose喪失,失去。
18、固定搭配詞義比較邏輯推理 即便是家庭的費(fèi)用出自雙方公共的錢包,男人仍然承受著保留工作的壓力(pressure)。under discussion在討論中;under attack遭到進(jìn)攻或批評;under control被控制;under pressure承受壓力。
19、固定搭配詞義比較邏輯推理 但是如果男人和女人能夠建立起(build up)一種聯(lián)系的話,這對父親一方和孩子都是有利的。make out書寫,進(jìn)展, 說明, 設(shè)法應(yīng)付,了解;add up合計;build up樹立, 增進(jìn);set aside留出,取消。
20、前后照應(yīng)詞義比較 在挪威,而不是在全球(global),一種牽涉到男女雙方的(impersonal),也許并非嚴(yán)厲的(severe)的,與瑞典做法類似的(similar)提高出生率的政策卻已經(jīng)產(chǎn)生了成效。impersonal非個人的;similar相似的, 類似的;severe嚴(yán)厲的, 嚴(yán)格的;global全球的, 全世界的。
