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.
How many types of families are mentioned by the writer?
选项 A、Six.
B、Two.
C、Five.
D、Four.
答案D
解析 从文章的第一段可以看出，美国基本有四种家庭类型：核心家庭(a father, mother and one or more children)，单亲家庭(one parent, usually a woman)，丁克族(childless couples)和再婚家庭(joint family)。所以正确答案选D。
