Marriage, and its many ups and downs, still often【C1】______the headlines on newspapers, magazines and the airwaves. Nearly 23m Americans watched Prince William being joined in holy marriage to Kate Middleton. Millions more have【C2】______in the break-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s marriage after revelations that he fathered a son with a maid.
Less【C3】______are revelations about the sorry state of marriage across the United States. Data from the Census Bureau show that married couples, for the first time, now make up 【C4】______than half(45%)of all households.
The【C5】______American family, with mom, dad and kids under one roof, is【C6】______. In every state the numbers of unmarried couples, childless households and single-person households are growing faster than【C7】______comprised of married people with children, finds the 2010【C8】______. The latter accounted【C9】______43% of households in 1950, but now just 20%. And the trend has a distinct【C10】______dimension.
Traditional marriage has【C11】______from a universal rite to a luxury for the educated and the【C12】______.
There【C13】______was a marriage gap in 1960: only four percentage points separated the wedded ways of college and high-school graduates(76% versus 72%).

A Census Bureau analysis released this spring found that brides are significantly more【C15】______to have a college degree than they were in the mid-1990s.
" Marriage has become much more【C16】______, and that’s why the divorce rate has come down," said Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The project found that divorce rates for couples with college degrees are only a third as high as for those with a high-school degree.
" Less marriage means less income and more poverty," reckons Isabel Sawhill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. She and other researchers have【C17】______as much as half of the inequality of wealth【C18】______in America to changes in family【C19】______: single-parent families(mostly those with a high-school degree or less)are getting poorer while married couples(with educations and dual incomes)are increasingly【C20】______. "This is a striking gap that is not well understood by the public," she says.

选项
A、less
B、more
C、rather
D、other
答案
A
解析
第二段中第一句话说“美国普通老百姓的婚姻虽然不及明星婚姻那么轰动,但是状况也令人担忧”。根据sorry state这个短语,可以推测文章主要讲美国婚姻率下降的现象。根据美国人口数据统计中心对美国人婚姻状况的调查,历史上首次以来,美国所有的家庭中,结婚的家庭率跌破一半(less thanhalf),因此正确答案应该选[A]。
