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%). The gap has since【C14】______to 16 percentage points, according to the Pew Research Centre. 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 18 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.
【C6】
选项
A、evaporating
B、disappearing
C、vanishing
D、fading
答案
D
解析
根据上下文判断,空格处这一句话的意思应该是“典型的美国三口之家正在逐渐没落和消失”。[A]选项evaporating,原词evaporate意指水汽的蒸发,引申义往往表示某一种情绪逐渐消失,例如:His courage had evaporated away.他的勇气逐渐消失殆尽。因此该词用在本文形容某一种传统的家庭形式消失不太恰当。[B]选项disappearing,表示消失这个结果,这个词和appear一样,往往作为瞬时动词,不和进行时连用。[C]选项vanish一词语气强烈,表示“某个事物完全地消失,不留任何蛛丝马迹”。例如:Many species have now vanished from the earth.许多物种已在地球上绝迹了。[D]选项fading一词强调逐渐消失的过程,用在空格处最为恰当。例如:Hopes of a peaceful settlement are now fading.和平解决的希望正在消失。因此正确答案应该选[D]。
