新余市2013届高三第二次模拟考试英语试题及答案(9)

　　Today there are many different kinds of families. Some people live in “traditional” families， that is， a stay-home mother， a working father， and their own biological children. Others live in two-paycheck families， single-parent families， adoptive or foster families and so on.

　　［3］What caused the structure of the family to change？ In the 1930s and 1940s， many families faced serious financial problems during the Great Depression and women were choosing to go to college and take jobs outside the home. As a result， the birthrate began to fall and the divorce rate began to rise. During World War II （1939-1945），5 million women were left alone to take care of their homes and their children. ___________________， thousands of their wives had to go to work outside their home.

　　［4］During the next ten years， the situation changed. There were fewer divorces， and people married at a younger age and had more children than the previous generation. It was unusual for a mother to work outside the home during the years when her children were growing up. The traditional family seemed to be returning.

　　［5］In the years between 1960s and 1990s， there were many important changes in the structure of the family. The divorce rate doubled and the birthrate fell by half. The number of single-parent families doubled， and the number of couples living together without being married doubled again. If we can judge from history， however， this will probably change again in the twenty-first century.
