　　A)transplant

　　B)solution

　　C)gadually

　　J)agricultural

　　K)including

　　M)requires

　　N)primary

　　O)consisting

　　ANSWER:

　　1. 選J)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞，修飾名次societies。文章第一句就說The typical pre-industrial family...工業(yè)化之前的典型家庭模式......， 即extended family存在于工業(yè)化之前的社會，即agricultural society。故J)正確。選項中的primary最初的，原始的不符合原文意思。

　　2. 選A)。由be hard to do sth.可知，此處應(yīng)填動詞原形。They are immobile這樣的家庭很難流動，這說明這樣的家庭are hard to...，選項中由transplant和transport兩個動詞原形，前者指的是遷居，遷移，后者指的是運輸，不難推斷前者符合原文意思，故A)transplant正確。3. 選C)。因為這句話的句子結(jié)構(gòu)完整，固此處應(yīng)填副詞。選項中的副詞有g(shù)radually和continually,原文中...and the so-called nuclear family emerged.所謂的核心家庭便出現(xiàn)了，emerge的意思是浮現(xiàn) ，強調(diào)經(jīng)過一個過程后出現(xiàn)的。由此可以判斷，這句話壞死說明核心家庭從無到有逐漸出現(xiàn)，而不是連續(xù)不斷地出現(xiàn)，故選擇C)gradually

　　4. 選O)。該句可拆分理解，即a family unit... of parents and a smell set of children 一個家庭單元......父母和不多的孩子，由此可以推出這里要填的詞是表示包含，由......組成的。選項中的including和consisting均可以表示此意，但由原文中的of可排除including,consist of為固定刺諸，故O)為正確答案。

　　5. 選H)。從原文中的more...than可知，此處應(yīng)填形容詞，構(gòu)成形容詞的比較級結(jié)構(gòu)。由第一段最后一句可知the traditional extended family是immobile,那么新型的家庭模式比舊的因該是更有流動性，故應(yīng)選H)mobile，說明新型的家庭模式的優(yōu)點。

　　6. 選M)。此處應(yīng)填動詞，作這句話的謂語。Super-industrialism超級工業(yè)化......更具流動性的家庭。可推知空格處應(yīng)填表示需要，需求的詞。requires表示出自一種迫切的需要而提出的要求，很明顯選擇M)requires。

　　7. 選E)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞，用來修飾名詞components。文中說明家庭被減縮到最......的成員，即由男人和女人組成，男人和女人是一個家庭最基本的成員。選項中的E)elemental基本的，本質(zhì)的，而N)primary主要的，最早的，原文強調(diào)的是男人和女人是一個家庭最basic的組成部分，故E)更符合原文意思。

　　8.選l)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。上段說兩人家庭的優(yōu)點，本句中提到rather than childlessness而不是不要孩子，說明晚要孩子是解決工作和孩子的折中的辦法，故選項中的L)compromise妥協(xié)，折中符合文意。而solution雖然也表示解決辦法，但不能表達夫婦們無可奈何的心情，故排除。

　　9.選F)。上題中已提到工作和要孩子之間存在矛盾即conflict，根據(jù)上下文意思，這個題相對容易。中 華 考 試 網(wǎng)

　　10.選I)。這段一直在說一個家庭里男人和女人因為工作和要孩子的事情發(fā)生爭吵，那么將來要解決這個問題的仍然是家庭中的夫妻兩人，故這里應(yīng)填I(lǐng))couples。
