英语六级阅读理解练习试题附答案英语六级阅读理解练习原文：What does the future hold for the problem of housing? A good deal depends, of course, on the meaning of “future”. If one is thinking in terms of science fiction and the space age, it is at least possible to assume that man will have solved such trivial and earthly problems as housing. Writers of science fiction, from H.G. Wells onwards, have had little to say on the subject. They have conveyed the suggestion that men will live in great comfort, with every conceivable apparatus to make life smooth, healthy and easy, if not happy. But they have not said what his house will be made of. Perhaps some new building material, as yet unimagined, will have been discovered or invented at least. One may be certain that bricks and mortar(泥灰，灰浆) will long have gone out of fashion.But the problems of the next generation or two can more readily be imagined. Scientists have already pointed out that unless something is done either to restrict the worlds rapid growth in population or to discover and develop new sources of food (or both), millions of people will be dying of starvation or at the best suffering from underfeeding before this century is out. But nobody has yet worked out any plan for housing these growing populations. Admittedly the worst situations will occur in the hottest parts of the world, where housing can be light structure or in backward areas where standards are traditionally low. Buteven the minimum shelter requires materials of some kind and in the teeming, bulging towns the low-standard “housing” of flattened petrol cans and dirty canvas is far more wasteful of ground space than can be tolerated.Since the war, Hong Kong has suffered the kind of crisis which is likely to arise in many other places during the next generation. Literally millions of refugees arrived to swell the already growing population and emergency steps had to be taken rapidly to preventsqualor(肮脏)and disease and the spread crime. The city is tackling the situation energetically and enormous blocks of tenements(贫民住宅)are rising at an astonishing aped. But Hong Kong is only one small part of what will certainly become a vast problem and not merely a housing problem, because when population grows at this rate there are accompanying problems of education, transport, hospital services, drainage, water supply and so on. Not every area may give the same resources as Hong Kong to draw upon and the search for quicker and cheaper methods of construction must never cease.英语六级阅读理解练习题目：1. What is the authors opinion of housing problems in the first paragraph?A. They may be completely solved at sometime in the future.B. They are unimportant and easily dealt with.C. They will not be solved until a new building material has been discovered.D. They have been dealt with in specific detail in books describing the future.2. The writer is sure that in the distant future ____.A. bricks and mortar will be replaced by some other building material.B. a new building material will have been invented.C. bricks and mortar will not be used by people who want their house to be fashionable.D. a new way of using bricks and mortar will have been discovered.3. The writer believes that the biggest problem likely to confront the world before the end of the century ___.A. is difficult to foresee.B. will be how to feed the ever growing population.C. will be how to provide enough houses in the hottest parts of the world.D. is the question of finding enough ground space.4. When the writer says that the worst situations will occur in the hottest parts of the world or in backward areas, he is referring to the fact that in these parts ___.A. standards of building are low.B. only minimum shelter will be possible.C. there is not enough ground space.D. the population growth will be the greatest.5. Which of the following sentences best summarizes Paragraph 3?A. Hong Kong has faced a serious crisis caused by millions of refugees.B. Hong Kong has successfully dealt with the emergency caused by millions of refugees.C. Hong Kongs crisis was not only a matter of housing but included a number of other problems of population growth.D. Many parts of the world may have to face the kind of problems encountered by Hong Kong and may find it much harder to deal with them. 英语六级阅读理解练习答案：AABDD。

Surely, though, the re dest goal ofhe carbon-paperless office is within thereach ofmankind? Carbon paper allows two copies of a document to be made at once.

Innovation tends to create new ches 合适的职业, ratherthan refillthose that already exist. So technologies may bee marginal, but they rarely goextinct. And today the little ches in which old technologies take refuge are ever re viableandaccessible,thanks to the Internet and the fact that production no longer needs to be somass; making all numbers of obscure items is growing easier.On top of that, a widespread Technology of nostalgia技术怀旧 seeks to preserve all theways people he ever done anything, simply bXXuse they are kind of neat.

According to What Technology ts, a book by Kevin Kelly, one of the founders ofWired magazine, America'sflintknappers 燧石 produce over a million newarrow and spearheads every year. One of the things technology ts, it seems, is to survive.Carbon paper, to the extent that it may he a desire for self-preservation, may also takefort in the fact that, for all that this is adigital age, many similar products are hangingon,and even making ebacks. Indeed, digital technologies may prove to be re transient thantheir predXXssors. They are based on the idea that the medium on which a file's constXXent0s and1s are stored doesn't matter, and on Alan Turing's insightthat any puter canmimic any other, given mery enough and time. This suggests that new digital technologiesshould be able to wipeout their predXXssors pletely. And earlydigital technologies doseem to be vashing. The music cassette is enjoying a little renaissance, its very faithlessnessapparently part of itsrm; but digital audio tape seems doomed revolutionary digital technologies mayyet discard older ones to the dustbin.

六级真题试卷解析

六级真题试卷解析一、阅读理解（共20题）Passage One.(1) Some of the world's most significant problems never hit headlines. One example comes from agriculture. Food riots and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in yields of some of the world's major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.Question 1: What does the author try to draw attention to?Answer: The author tries to draw attention to the decline in the growth in yields of some of the world's major crops, which is a significant but rarely - talked - about problem underlying food riots and hunger.Question 2: What do food riots and hunger usually do?Answer: Food riots and hunger usually make news.(2) The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soybeans. They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.Question 3: What data did the authors collect?Answer: The authors collected a vast number of data points for four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soybeans.Question 4: What did they find about the yields of these crops?Answer: They found that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.(3) There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the world's most populous (人口多的) countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self - sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.Question 5: What are the two worrying features of the slowdown?Answer: One worrying feature is that the slowdown has been particularly sharp in India and China, which are the world's most populous countries.Question 6: Why is the slowdown in India and China worrying?Answer: Because their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets, and self - sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.(4) Second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soybeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soybeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on feeding people.”Question 7: What is the second worrying feature of the slowdown?Answer: The second worrying feature is that yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice (which are more important as foods) than in corn and soybeans (which are more important as feed grains).Question 8: What do the authors note about the crop improvement efforts?Answer: The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on feeding people.”Passage Two.(1) The endless debate about “work - life balance” often contains a hopeful footnote about stay - at - home dads. If American society and business won't make it easier on future female leaders who choose to have children, there is still the ray of hope that increasing numbers of full - time fathers will. But based on today's socioeconomic trends, this hope is, unfortunately, misguided.Question 9: What is the ray of hope mentioned in the first paragraph?Answer: The ray of hope is that increasing numbers of full - timefathers will make it easier on future female leaders who choose to have children.Question 10: Why is this hope misguided?Answer: Because of today's socioeconomic trends.(2) It's true that the number of men who have left work to do theirthing as full - time parents has doubled in a decade, but it's still very small: only 0.8% of married couples where the wife is in the labor force. Even that percentage is likely inflated by men's continuing to work part - time while they look for full - time jobs. The study found that full - timedads were regarded as having more time to spend with their children than their working counterparts.Question 11: How has the number of full - time fathers changed?Answer: The number of men who have left work to be full - time parents has doubled in a decade.Question 12: What might inflate the percentage of full - time dads?Answer: Men's continuing to work part - time while they look for full - time jobs might inflate the percentage of full - time dads.(3) In a recent study, researchers surveyed more than 1,000 working fathers. They found that those fathers who were more involved with their children's caregiving were more likely to have lower incomes and lesslikely to be promoted at work. And they were more likely to report feeling stressed, overworked and tired.Question 13: What did the recent study find about fathers more involved in child - caregiving?Answer: They were more likely to have lower incomes, less likely to be promoted at work, and more likely to report feeling stressed, overworked and tired.(4) While the study didn't attempt to point out the causes of this trend, it's likely that traditional gender roles and social expectations play a role. Men who take on more of the child - rearing responsibilities may be seen as less committed to their jobs. In addition, they may face discrimination from colleagues and bosses who assume that men should be the primary breadwinners.Question 14: What might be the causes of the trend found in the study?Answer: Traditional gender roles and social expectations might be the causes. Men taking on more child - rearing responsibilities may be seen as less committed to their jobs, and they may face discrimination from colleagues and bosses who assume men should be the primary breadwinners.Passage Three.(1) California has been facing a drought for many years now, with certain areas even having to pump freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution systems. And of course, farming has been severely affected by the drought. Some farmers have been forced to leave fields fallow, while others are struggling to pump groundwater to keep their crops alive.Question 15: What has been the situation in California?Answer: California has been facing a drought for many years. Some areas have to pump freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution systems, and farming has been severely affected.Question 16: What are some of the ways farmers are dealing with the drought?Answer: Some farmers leave fields fallow, while others are struggling to pump groundwater to keep their crops alive.(2) However, there may be a solution in sight. A group of researchers at Stanford University has developed a new material that can harvest water from the air. The material is a metal - organic framework (MOF), which has a very large surface area that can absorb water molecules.Question 17: What solution may be available?Answer: A new material developed by researchers at Stanford University, a metal - organic framework (MOF) that can harvest water from the air, may be a solution.(3) The MOF can be incorporated into a device that looks like a large box with a fan. Air is blown through the box, and as it passes over the MOF, the water molecules are absorbed. Then, by heating the MOF, the water canbe released and collected.Question 18: How does the MOF work in the device?Answer: Air is blown through the box containing the MOF. As the air passes over the MOF, water molecules are absorbed. Then, by heating the MOF, the water can be released and collected.(4) The researchers estimate that a device the size of a small refrigerator could produce about three to four liters of water per day.This could be enough to supply a small family or a small agricultural operation.Question 19: How much water can a device the size of a smallrefrigerator produce?Answer: A device the size of a small refrigerator could produce about three to four liters of water per day.Question 20: Who could this amount of water supply?Answer: This amount of water could supply a small family or a small agricultural operation.。

英语六级阅读理解练习和参考答案

英语六级阅读理解练习和参考答案英语六级阅读理解练习和参考答案：Homing pigeons are placed in a training program from about the time they are twenty-eight days of age. They are taught to enter the cage through a trap and to exercise above and around the loft(鸽棚) , and gradually they are taken away for short distances in willow baskets and released. They are then expected to find their way home in the shortest possible time.In their training flights or in actual races, the birds are taken to prearranged distant points and released to find their way back to their own lofts. Once the birds are liberated, their owners, who are standing by at the home lofts, anxiously watch the sky for the return of their entries. Since time is of the essence, the speed with which the birds can be induced to enter the loft trap may make the difference between gaining a win or a second place.The head of a homing pigeon is comparatively small, but its brain is one quarter larger than that of the ordinary pigeon. The homing pigeon is very intelligent and will persevere to the point of stubbornness; some have been known to fly a hundred miles off course to avoid a storm.Some homing pigeon experts claim that this bird is gifted with a form of built-in radar that helps it find its own loft after hours of flight,for hidden under the head feathers are two very sensitive ears, while the sharp, prominent eyes can see great distances in daytime.Why do homing pigeons fly home? They are not unique in this inherent skill; it is found in most migratory birds, in bees, ants, toads, and even turtles, which have been known to travel hundreds of miles to return to their homes. But in the animal world, the homing pigeon alone can be trusted with its freedom and trained to carry out the missions that people demand.21. This passage is mainly about_______.A. homing pigeons and their trainingB. how to buy a homing pigeonC. protection of homing pigeons against the threat of extinctionD. liberation of homing pigeons22. According to the passage, what happens to homing pigeons when they are about a month old?A. They are kept in a trap.B. They enter their first race.C. They begin a training program.D. They get their wings clipped and marked.23. According to the passage, the difference between a homing pigeon and an ordinary one is_______.A. the span of the wingsB. the shape of the eyesC. the texture of the feathersD. the size of the brain24. The author mentions all of the following attributes that enablea homing pigeon toreturn home EXCEPT_______.A. instinctB. air sacsC. sensitive earsD. good eyes25. Why does the author mention bees, ants, toads, and turtles in the last paragraph?A. To describe some unusual kinds of pets.B. To measure distances traveled by various animals.C. To compare their home-finding abilities with those of homing pigeons.D. To interest the reader in learning about other animals.21. A 22. C 23. D 24. B 25. C英语六级阅读理解练习和参考答案：Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reachesthose limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(任意的) from the population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth playsa part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.26. Which of these sentences best describes the writers point in Paragraph 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.27. It is suggested in this passage that_______.A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceB. close relations usually have similar intelligenceC. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence28. Brothers and sisters are likely to_______.A. have similar intelligenceB. have different intelligenceC. go to the same universityD. go to the same factory29. In Paragraph 1, the word "surroundings" means_______.A. intelligenceB. lifeC. environmentsD. housing30. The best title for this article would be_______.A. On IntelligenceB. What Intelligence MeansC. We Are Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence26. D 27. B 28. A 29. C 30. A。

六级英语篇章阅读练习带答案详解

六级英语篇章阅读练习带答案详解六级英语篇章阅读练习：体育休闲Depending on which player you ask, the "Fevernova" ball that sports equipment maker Adidas says provides the ultimate soccer experience is Uncontrollable, too big or just simply "stupid". The ball also has its fans, like Englands David Beckham. but so far they seem to have been outnumbered by critics.Adidas says the ball. splashed with gold coloring. is quite simply the best around-25 percent more accurate than the ball used at France 98 thanks to meticulous testing by scientists in Germany.The tongue-twisting nature of its contents confirms that the World Cup ball has come a long way from the leather-and-laces variety that was common as recently as the 1960s.The Fevernovas secret. Adidas says. is its radically improved Syntactic foam and unique knitted Raschel fabric.Given that this is supposed to make the ball faster and provide the freekick specialists like Beckham with more power, it may not be surprising that goalkeepers like Buffon are unhappy. Spain goalkeeper Pedro Contreras said the bail acts "strangely", while Danish keeper Thomas Sorensen admitted gloomily that it would probably result in more spectacular goals. "As a goalkeeper, you have to live with the fact thatthe makers create balls for the benefit of strikers." he said before leaving Copenhagen for South Korea.But outfield players have also weighed in with criticism, many saying the ball is too light and therefore hard to control. "Its big and its too light," Japans Jiji news agency quoted Brazilian forward Edilson as saying earlier this month. while striker Rivaldo said it soared too far when kicked.Journalists at the main press centre in Yokohama have been given the chance to try out the Fevernova from the penalty spot, with the aim of hitting special targets in the goal. So far. few have been able to score more than five out of ten, although this may have little to do with the quality of the ball.Putz. admits that the ball is on the light side of FIFAs 420 to 445 gram weight requirement. but says it is no bigger than previous balls.The controversy over the ball also has an off-pitch dimension. Industry insiders say it may be no coincidence that players from Brazil. sponsored by Adidas rival Nike, have been among the balls most vociferous critics.The same might go for the praise dished out for the ball by Beckham. one of the main players used to promote Adidas equipment.篇章阅读练习题目：1. How does Adidas describe the "Fevernova”ba11?A) The experience provided by the ball is the best so far.B) The ball is almost impossible to control because of its large size.C) The ball has gone through a long way of development.D) The experience provided by the ball is most welcome by strikers.2. What does the author think about the Syntactic foam and unique Raschel fabric chat are used to make the ball?A) The materials have long been used in history.B) The materials do not sound Familiar.C) The materials are new and advanced.D) The materials improve che precision of the ball.3. The goalkeepers tend to admit reluctantly that_____________.A) the ball is too strange to controlB) the ball is so light that it goes too fastC) the ball may make the game more thrillingD) the ball may help to enhance the strikers skills4. Which of the following js true according to Putz?A) The ball is lighter than but of the same size as the previous ones.B) The ball should have been heavier to meet the required weight.C) The ball should have been bigger than the previous ones.D) The ball is light but still meets the weight requirement.5. According to industry insiders. Beckhams comment on theball_____________.A) is justified in his daily trainingB) is out of commercial purposeC) goes as radical as the Brazilian playersD) is similar to that by the Brazilian players篇章阅读练习答案详解：1.阿迪达斯如何形容“飞火流星”球?A) 这个球所带来的体验是迄今为止最好的。

六级英语阅读专项训练附答案详解

六级英语阅读专项训练附答案详解六级英语阅读专项训原文Not too many decades ago it seemed "obvious" both to the general public and to sociologiststhat modern society has changed peoples natural relations, loosened their responsibilities tokin (亲戚) and neighbors,and substituted in their place superficial relationships with passingacquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the"obvious" is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident. you typically know a smallerproportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But,for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow thatif you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds.Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more andless urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents.Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interestsand activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does notdiffer between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to displaypsychological symptoms of stress or alienation. a feeling of not belonging, than areresidents of smaller communities. However. citydwellers do worry more about crime, and thisleads them to a distrust of strangers.These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors arestrangers to oneanother. they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple livingnext door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover. as Wirth suggested. theremay be a link between a communitys population size and its socialhe.heterogeneity (多样性).For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community isassociated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs. etc. Large-city urbanites are also morelikely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan(见多识广者的) outlook. todisplay less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates,and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, andso-called undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to beoutcomes of large population size.六级英语阅读专项训题目1. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the firstparagraph?A) Two contrasting views are presented.B) An argument is examined and possible solutions given.C) Research results concerning the quality of urban life are presented in order of time.D) A detailed description of the difference between urban arid small-town life is given.2. According co the passage, it was once a common belief chai urbanresidents____________.A) did not have the same interests as their neighborsB) could not develop long-standing relationshipsC) tended to be associated with bad behaviorD) usually had more friends3. One of the consequences of urban life is that impersonal relationships amongneighbors______.A) disrupt peoples natural relationsB) make them worry about crimeC) cause them not to show concern for one anotherD) cause them !o be suspicious of each other4. I can be inferred from the passage that che bigger a community is_____________.A) the better its quality of lifeB) the more similar its interestsC) the more tolerant it isD) the likelier it is to display psychological symptoms of stress5. What is che passage mainly about?A) Similarities in the interpersonal relationships between urbanites and small town dwellers.B) Advantages of living in big cities as compared with living in small towns.C) The positive role that urbanism plays in modern life.D) The strong feeling of alienation of city inhabitants.六级英语阅读专项训答案1. 以下哪种说法最适合形容第一段的结构?A) 展示了两种相反的观点。

六级英语阅读专项练习附答案讲解六级英语阅读专项练习原文Divorce doesnt necessarily make adults happy. But toughing it out in an unhappy marriageuntil it turns around just might do, a new study says.The research identified happy and unhappy spouses. culled (选出 ) from a national database.Of the unhappypartners who divorced. about half were happy five years later. But unhappyspouses who stuck it out often did better. About two-thirds were happy five years later. Studyresults contradict what seems to be commonsense, says David Blankenhorn of the Institute forAmerican Values, a think-tank on the family. The institute helped sponsor the research leambased at the University of Chicago. Findings will be presented in Arlington, Va.. at the SmartMarriage conference. sponsored by the Coalition for Marriage. Families and CouplesEducation.The study looked at data on 5,232 married adults from the National Survey of Families andHouseholds. It included .64.5 who were unhappy. The adults in the national sample wereanalyzed through 13 measures of psychological well being. Within the five years, 167 of theunhappy were divorced or separated and 478 stayedmarried.Divorce didnt reduce symptoms of depression, raise self-esteem or increase sense ofmastery compared withthose who stayed married, the report says.Results were controlled for factors including race, age, gender and income. Staying marrieddid not tend to trap unhappy spouses in violent relationships. What helped the unhappymarried turn things around To supplement the formal study data, the research team askedprofessional firms to recruit focus groups totaling 55 adults who were marriage survivors.All had moved from unhappy to happy marriages. These 55 once-discontented married felttheir unions got better via one of threeroutes, the report says:Marital endurance. Wich time, job situations improved, children got older or better. orchronic ongoing problems got put into new perspective. Partners did not work on theirmarriages.Marital work. Spouses actively worked to solve problems, change behavior of improvecommunication.Personal change. Partners found alternative ways to improve their own happiness and build agood and happy life despite a mediocre marriage. In effect the unhappy partner changed.六级英语阅读专项练习题目1.

A) 对于一段不美满的婚姻，离婚比勉强在一起是更好的解决方法。

B) 对于一段不美满的婚姻，离婚不一定是唯一的解决方法。

C) 要维系一段不美满的婚姻需要很大的勇气和容忍度。

D)要不要结束一段不美满的婚姻对于夫妻来说是一个很难做的决定。

[A]根据第2段第5句首先可以推断人们普遍的观点与研究结果相反。

第2段开头四句表明坚持不离婚的人最终的情况会变得比离婚的人好，与此相反的观点即为：人们通常认为离婚比坚持不离婚好。

因此选项A为本题答案。

选项B 是本文的主题，研究的结果也支持这个说法，而人们普遍的看法应与此相反;第2段并没有讨沦如何才能维持婚姻，选项C是无关内容;本段对比了婚姻不幸福的人采取不同做法的结果，并没有讨论人们面临婚姻问题时内心的挣扎，因此选项D也是无关内容。

2. 下列关于正在讨论的研究哪一个是正确的A) 研究是由David Blankenhorn任所长的美国价值观研究所主持的。

B) 研究是由婚姻、家庭和夫妻教育联盟资助的。

C) 研究对象选自基于芝加哥大学的全国数据库。

D) 研究报告会被纳入智慧婚姻大会的日程当中。

[D]第2段末句表明智慧婚姻会议的内容包括宣读研究报告，由此可见，选项D是对第2段末句的近义改写。

第2段第6句表明选项A中提到的研究所赞助该研究，并非主持开展该研究，而且原文也没有表示David Blankenhorn是该研究所的领导，故A不正确;第2段段末sponsored by 引出的名词结构修饰的对象是智慧婚姻会议，它并没有赞助该研究，故选项B不对;database在第2段首句提到，the University of Chicago在第6句提到，它们之间并没有关系，选项C也不对。
