问题     After decades of decline, the share of mothers who stay home with their children has【C1】______ risen over the last several years, a new report by the Pew Research Center has found. Pew 【C2】______the rise of stay-at-home mothers to a mix of economic and societal factors. The【C3】______majority of married stay-at-home mothers, 85%, say they are doing so by choice in order to care for their families. That rate is much lower for single stay-at-home mothers, at 41%.
    The report also found a【C4】______in women working because of the recession, a trend that has【C5】______as the economy recovers. Pew cited an increase in immigrant families, for whom it is more【C6】______to have a mother stay at home with her children, and an increase in the number of women who said they were disabled and unable to work.
    A companion public opinion survey by Pew, from 2013, found that mothers are much more likely than fathers to have【C7】______work hours, take a significant amount of time off, quit a job or, by a small【C8】______turn down a promotion in order to care for a child or family member.
    A second Pew survey, taken this year, found most in the general public think that children are better off with a parent at home. "This has important【C9】______ for the day to day lives of children," said D’Vera Conn, the report’s author.
    The report also looked at how stay-at-home versus working moms use their time. Those at home spend more time on housework, child care,【C10】______and sleep.
A) reduced E) interim I) leisure M) abnormally
B) impetus F) steadily J) drop N) attributed
C) vast G) common K) intuitions O) margin
D) implications H) cling L) lingered
【C9】
选项
答案D
解析 此处应填入important修饰的名词，作has的宾语。上文提到公众大多认为父母有一方待在家中的孩子过得更好(better off)，本句用D’Vera Cohn的话进一步说明该观点，认为对孩子的日常生活意义重大，因此implications“含意”符合上下文语境。
