问题     The family is a social institution. The importance of the family in an individual’s life usually depends on the size of the society. In small, primitive (原始的，早期的) societies, the family is the dominant social institution in an individual’s life. In larger, more complex societies, other social institutions are created to meet the needs of an individual.
    There are two basic family structures. The first structure is the extended family. The extended family includes all of an individual’s blood relatives, including spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, cousins, and aunts and uncles. The nuclear family is limited to the basic family nucleus: father, mother, and children.
    The extended family structure tends to exist in agricultural societies. In such societies family ties serve as a strong source of cultural and societal interaction. The nuclear family structure tends to exist in industrialized societies. In industrial societies, other social institutions (such as religion, education, and government) act as the primary sources of cultural and societal interaction.
The author implies that the development of social institutions other than the family in a society would probably lead to______.
选项 A、the end of the family as a social institution
B、the rise of industrialization
C、the rise in importance of the extended family
D、the decrease in the need for the extended family
答案D
解析 这是一道推断题。从文中我们得知，大家庭存在的主要原因是：在人类早期社会中其他的社会组织较少，无法满足人们社会和文化交往的需要，所以人们的社会和文化交往不得不在家庭中进行。随着社会机构的增多和发展，家庭的这一功能必然被削弱，导致的结果就是对大家庭需求的下降。其他三个选项均不符合文章中的内容。
