问题      In the United States the first day nursery was opened in 1854. Nurseries were established in various areas during the 【C1】______ half of the 19th century; most of 【C2】______ were charitable. Both in Europe and in the U. S. , the day-nursery movement received great 【C3】______ during the First World War, when 【C4】______ of manpower caused the industrial employment of unprecedented numbers of women. In some European countries nurseries were established even in munitions plants, under direct government 【C5】______ . Although the number of nurseries in the U. S. also rose 【C6】______ , this rise was accomplished without government aid of any kind. During the years following the First World War, 【C7】______ , Federal, State, and local governments gradually began to 【C8】______ a measure of control in the day nurseries, chiefly by 【C9】______ them and by inspecting and regulating the conditions within the nurseries.
     The 【C10】______ of the Second World War was quickly followed by an increase in the number of day nurseries in almost all countries, as women were again 【C11】______ to replace men in the factories.

Soon afterward, the Federal government drastically 【C17】______ its expenditures for this purpose and later 【C18】______ them, causing a sharp drop in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the expectation 【C19】______ most employed mothers would leave their jobs at the end of the War was only partly 【C20】______ .  
【C3】
选项 A、impetus
B、motivation
C、imitation
D、initiative
答案A
解析 篇章逻辑题之篇章语义。根据上下文，句意是说“在一战期间，由于人力缺乏，女性工作的比例很高，所以托儿所的发展受到了很大刺激。”impetus意为“推动力，促进”，符合句意。motivation意为“动机”，imitation意为“模仿”，initiative意为“主动”，均不符合句意。
