Last September, the U.S. government announced that its birthrate fell to "another record low". Morally speaking, there’s nothing wrong with this. It’s【C1】________in a way. All over the world, birthrates tend to fall a-long with economic development
The thing about an increasingly childless economy is that it has major implications for【C2】________. It is confirmed by a new data from a Gallup survey【C3】________on the average daily spending of families. Even after you control for income, age, education, and【C4】________status, families with young kids spend more every day.
What are parents spending on? Not just books, toys, and games. The Department of Agriculture【C5】________surveys the many ways we spend on our kids, to the tune of about $14,000 a year.

选项
A、released
B、created
C、counted
D、informed
答案
A
解析
句子主语It指代上句认为“孩子越来越少会严重影响经济”的观点。这一观点通过盖洛普调查的数据证实(is confirmed)。一般来说,要想用数据证实某一观点,需要公布出数据以便让他人信服。A项released“发表;发布”符合要求。B项created“创造”,调查所得的数据不能是创造出来的。C项counted“计数,计算”,不能搭配data使用。D项informed“告知,通知”,语义不符合要求。
