參考答案:
1．A，空格后面在解釋原因(出現(xiàn)這種情況的一個(gè)原因是有越來(lái)越多的未婚媽媽)，由此判斷空格前很可能是對(duì)某種現(xiàn)象(“未婚媽媽越來(lái)越多”造成的現(xiàn)象)，因此A(在美國(guó)大約有22%的孩子生活在單親家庭里)是答案。
2．C．選項(xiàng)C中的the report正好與空格前的a report呼應(yīng)，選項(xiàng)c(報(bào)告涉及到年齡再l8歲到44歲之間從未結(jié)過(guò)婚的婦女)在旬意上也與空格前句內(nèi)容銜接。
3．B。選項(xiàng)B中的the increase與空格前句(上一段最后一句)中的an increase呼應(yīng)，空格后面的句子是在分析原因，因此B(專家們一直在試圖解釋造成這種增加的原因)是答案。
4．E．空格前句說(shuō)“專家們說(shuō)在過(guò)去美國(guó)社會(huì)的很多因素迫使婦女結(jié)婚”，這是一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)旬，因此其后面很可能應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)解釋性的話語(yǔ)，而E正好是在解釋，E說(shuō)“在過(guò)去，美國(guó)婦女的家庭希望她結(jié)婚，社會(huì)上的宗教群體，習(xí)俗和法律也希望婦女結(jié)婚”。而且E與空格前句的時(shí)態(tài)也一致。
5．D．空格所在的段落是在講述現(xiàn)在的情況，從過(guò)去情況的講述轉(zhuǎn)變到對(duì)現(xiàn)在情況的描述，這兩者之間需要出現(xiàn)一個(gè)起著承上啟下的過(guò)渡句，D正好起著這樣的作用。
