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 estab- lished【C5】______ in munitions plants, under direct government sponsorship.【C6】______ the number of nurseries in the U. S. also rose【C7】______ , this rise was accomplished without government aid of any kind. During the years following the First World War,【C8】______ , Federal, State, and local governments gradually began to exercise a measure of control【C9】______ the day nurseries, chiefly by【C10】______ them and by inspecting and regulating the conditions within the nurseries.
     The【C11】______ of the Second World War was quickly followed by an increase in the number of day nurseries in almost all countries, as women were【C12】______ called upon to replace men in the factories. On this 【C13】______ the U. S. government immediately came to the support of the nursery schools,【C14】______ $ 6,000,000 in July, 1942, for a nursery school program for the children of working mothers. Many States and local communities【C15】______ this Federal aid. By the end of the war, in August, 1945, more than 100,000 children were being cared【C16】______ in day care centers receiving Federal【C17】______ . Soon afterward, the Federal government【C18】______ cut down its expenditures for this purpose and later【C19】______ them, causing a sharp drop in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the expectation that most employed mothers would leave their【C20】______ at the end of the war was only partly fulfilled.
【C20】
选项 A、nurseries
B、homes
C、jobs
D、children
答案C
解析 根据前面可知，日托所的成立是为了解决战争期间外出工作的母亲们照顾孩子的问题，当时大量妇女外出工作是因为大多数男人参战去了，战争结束后，人们以为妇女会重新回到家中做家庭妇女，但最后一句话一开始用了表示转折的词however，表明尽管政府在战后缩减甚至取消用于建立日托所钓费用，但是预计的大多数职业母亲将离开她们工作的现象并未出现，而只是部分职业母亲离开了工作岗位，故C项为正确答案。
