Marriage, and its many ups and downs, still often【C1】______the headlines on newspapers, magazines and the airwaves. Nearly 23m Americans watched Prince William being joined in holy marriage to Kate Middleton. Millions more have【C2】______in the break-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s marriage after revelations that he fathered a son with a maid.
Less【C3】______are revelations about the sorry state of marriage across the United States. Data from the Census Bureau show that married couples, for the first time, now make up【C4】______than half (45%) of all households.
The【C5】______American family, with mom, dad and kids under one roof, is【C6】______. In every state the numbers of unmarried couples, childless households and single-person households are growing faster than【C7】______comprised of married people with children, finds the 2010【C8】______. The latter accounted【C9】______43% of households in 1950, but now just 20%. And the trend has a distinct【C10】______dimension. Traditional marriage has【C11】______from a universal rite to a luxury for the educated and the【C12】______.
There【C13】______was a marriage gap in 1960: only four percentage points separated the wedded ways of college and high-school graduates (76% versus 72%). The gap has since【C14】______to 16 percentage points, according to the Pew Research Centre. A Census Bureau analysis released this spring found that brides are significantly more【C15】______to have a college degree than they were in the mid-1990s.
"Marriage has become much more【C16】______, and that’s why the divorce rate has come down," said Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The project found that divorce rates for couples with college degrees are only a third as high as for those with a high-school degree.
"Less marriage means less income and more poverty," reckons Isabel Sawhill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. She and other researchers have【C17】______as much as half of the inequality of wealth 18 in America to changes in family【C19】______: single-parent families (mostly those with a high-school degree or less) are getting poorer while married couples (with educations and dual incomes) are increasingly【C20】______. "This is a striking gap that is not well understood by the public," she says.
【C15】
选项
A、probable
B、likely
C、liable
D、possible
答案
B
解析
根据上下文意思判断,空格处的这句话应该是说“比起90年代中期,现在新娘拥有大学学历的比例要高得多”。因此空格处应该填一个词表示“倾向于,可能的”。四个选项都有这层含义,[A]选项probable表示“可能性”,一般不用表人的词作主语。例如:It seems probable that the accident has damaged her brain.很可能车祸损伤了她的大脑。[B]选项likely表示“可能性”,可用it作形式主语,也可由物或人充当主语。例如:I’m hardly Ukely t0 finish it within a week.我不可能在一周内把它干完。因此本题应该选[B]。[C]选项liable表示“有……倾向的”,往往用来表示易于产生某种(对主语)不利的后果,例如:The car is liable to overheat in the summer.车在夏天总是容易过热。[D]选项possible表示“可能性”,往往不用表人的词作主语,例如:It is quite possible that he will stay for another term.他很可能会连任。
