The family is a social institution. The importance of the family in an individual’s life usually depends on the size of the society. In small, primitive (原始的,早期的) societies, the family is the dominant social institution in an individual’s life. In larger, more complex societies, other social institutions are created to meet the needs of an individual.
There are two basic family structures. The first structure is the extended family. The extended family includes all of an individual’s blood relatives, including spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, cousins, and aunts and uncles. The nuclear family is limited to the basic family nucleus: father, mother, and children.
The extended family structure tends to exist in agricultural societies. In such societies family ties serve as a strong source of cultural and societal interaction. The nuclear family structure tends to exist in industrialized societies. In industrial societies, other social institutions (such as religion, education, and government) act as the primary sources of cultural and societal interaction.
As it is used in the second paragraph of the passage, the word "spouse" means______.
选项
A、a husband or wife
B、a waiter or waitress
C、a bridegroom or bride
D、a doctor or nurse
答案
A
解析
文中第二段第三句说:“大家庭包括了一个人的所有血缘关系……”我们根据生活常识及通过与核心家庭的成员对比很容易推断出“spouse”一词为配偶的意思。
