问题    The United States has many different types of families. While most American families are traditional comprising a father, mother and one or more children, 22.5 percent of all American families in 1983 were headed by one parent, usually a woman. In some families in the United States, there are no children. These childless couples may believe that they would not make good parents; they may want freedom from the responsibilities of child-rearing; or perhaps they are not physically able to have children. Other families in the United States have one adult who is a stepparent. A stepmother or stepfather is a person who joins a family by marrying a father or mother.
   Americans tolerate and accept these different types of families. In the United States, people have the right to privacy and Americans do not believe in telling other Americans what type of family group they must belong to. They respect each other’s choices regarding family groups.
What percent did the families headed by one parent account for?
选项 A、50 percent.
B、40 percent.
C、35 percent.
D、22.5 percent.
答案D
解析 文章第一段第二句指出：“While most American families are traditional comprising a father, mother and one or more children, 22.5 percent of all American families in 1983 were headed by one parent, usually a woman.”即大多数美国家庭传统上由一位父亲，一位母亲，一个孩子或更多的孩子组成，但1983年22.5%的美国家庭是单亲家庭，通常只有母亲。所以正确答案选D。
