The typical pre-industrial family not only had a good many children, but numerous other【C1】______as well—grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Such "extended" families were【C2】______for survival in slow paced agricultural societies. But such families are hard to transplant. They are 【C3】______. Industrialism demanded masses of workers ready and able to move off the land in【C4】______of jobs, and to move again whenever necessary. Thus the extended family【C5】______shed its excess weight and the so-called " nuclear" family emerged—a stripped-down, portable family unit consisting only of parents and a small set of children. This new style family, far more【C6】______than the traditional extended family, became the standard model in all the industrial countries. Super-industrialism, however, the next stage of eco-technological development,【C7】______even higher mobility. Thus we may expect many among the people of the future to carry the streamlining process, a step further by remaining children,【C8】______the family down to its more elemental components, a man and a woman. Two people, perhaps with matched careers, will prove more efficient at【C9】______through education and social status, through job changes and geographic relocations, than the ordinarily child-cluttered family. A compromise may be the postponement of children, rather than childlessness. Men and women today are often torn in【C10】______between a commitment to career and a commitment to children. In the future, many couples will sidestep this problem by deferring the entire task of raising children until after retirement.
A) need I) suited
B) dependents J) requests
C) gradually K) navigating
D) consisting L) immobile
E) harmony M) requires
F) conflict N) pursuit
G) continually O) cutting
H) mobile
【C8】
选项
答案
O
解析
分析该句的句子结构可以推断出空格处应为动词的现在分词形式。该句的大意是我们或许期望未来有许多人进一步缩小家庭规模,比保留孩子的“核心家庭”更进一步,由此可知此处讲的是缩小家庭的规模,只留下其必需的成员,即一个男人和一个女人。此外,cut sth.down to是固定用法,意为“削减,缩小(尺寸、数量或数目)”,故答案选O。
