Last September, the U.S. government announced that its birthrate fell to "another record low". Morally speaking, there’s nothing wrong with this. It’s【C1】________in a way. All over the world, birthrates tend to fall a-long with economic development
The thing about an increasingly childless economy is that it has major implications for【C2】________. It is confirmed by a new data from a Gallup survey【C3】________on the average daily spending of families. Even after you control for income, age, education, and【C4】________status, families with young kids spend more every day.
What are parents spending on? Not just books, toys, and games. The Department of Agriculture【C5】________surveys the many ways we spend on our kids, to the tune of about $14,000 a year. The【C6】________majority of money goes to the【C7】________: housing, food, transportation, and education. Housing is kind of funny, because young children tend not to have their housing units,【C8】________the parents are extremely well-off and the children are terribly misbehaved. The survey estimates the housing portion of spending by trying to【C9】________a few factors: the cost of an extra bedroom, the cost of moving into safer【C10】________with better schools, and the cost of buying homes with larger yards.
It is【C11】________that on economic growth, some of the most discussed variables on editorial pages and cable news are policy choices like tax rates or international events. But buried【C12】________these headlines is the glacier of demographics, the steady and unyielding force of human numbers to【C13】________the economy. The【C14】________in U.S. birthrates in recent years has almost certainly had a negative effect on consumer spending (and【C15】________, lower birthrates are probably an outcome of the recession). In particular, childless couples don’t need space for more kids so they’re less【C16】________to buy homes in the suburbs,【C17】________demand for housing that badly needs to sell more homes. In other words,【C18】________families and less household formation【C19】________the U.S. economy of housing and transportation spending, which has historically accounted for half of family【C20】________.
【C19】
选项
A、warns
B、deprives
C、reminds
D、clears
答案
B
解析
该句表明,less household formation(家庭人口的减小)会减少人们的housing and transportation spending(住房和交通开支)。B项deprives“剥夺”常搭配of使用,意为“使……失去”,指美国经济数据中不再包含居民住房和交通开销。若代入A项warns和C项reminds则分别表示“告诫美国经济会产生住房和交通费用”和“提醒美国经济不要忘记住房和交通消费”,这不符合语义逻辑。D项clears代入后表示“清除美国经济中的住房和交通费用”,过于绝对,更小的家庭使住房和交通费用减少,但不可能彻底清除这些费用。
