In some parts of Italy, the percentage of adult children who【2】with their parents【3】65 to 70 percent. In Thailand, too, children are expected to take care of their elderly parents; few Thai elderly live【4】. What explains these differences in living arrangements【5】cultures? Modernization theory【6】the extended family household to low levels of economic development. In traditional societies, the elderly live with their children in large extended family units for economic reasons. But with modernization, children move to urban areas, leaving old people【7】in【8】rural areas.

A、isolated
B、segregated
C、idealized
D、secluded
答案
A
解析
考查近义词词义辨析。此句意思是:将老人留在孤零零的乡村地带。isolated“隔离的,分离的,孤立的”,符合题意;segregated意为“隔离的”,一般仅用于“种族隔离”;idealized意为“理想的”;secluded意为“退隐的,隐居的”,侧重“有意使自己与他人隔离”的意思。
