The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.
This important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never return to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relation in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.
According to the passage, around the Year 1900 most women married______.
选项
A、at about twenty-five
B、in their early fifties
C、as soon as possible after they were fifteen
D、at any age from fifteen to forty-five
答案
A
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问文章指出在1900年前后妇女何时结婚。根据文章第一段第三句,在19世纪末,妇女可能在二十几岁结婚,生育七八个孩子,其中四五个只能活到5岁。最小的孩子长到15岁时,做母亲的已经五十多岁了,假设还能活20年,在这20年中,由于习俗、机会和健康状况,她也不太可能找到有报酬的工作了。因此,本题的正确答案应是A“在大约25岁左右结婚”。
