选项 A、system
B、structure
C、concept
D、heritage
答案 B
解析 本题要求判断family后接什么中心名词。此题有几个线索，第一个线索在上一题中也提到，即空格所在句子中的比较级。从中可分析出：the traditional family 106families consist of one-parent households or two working parents是相对照的，后者为现代家庭的组成方式即结构，那么前者空格处也应相应地填入一个表“结构”含义的词。第二个线索离得比较远，第三段首句提到changes in the social structure，接下来依次提到changes in the economy和families have also experienced changes，因此后面两个变化是第一个变化的分述，即从社会结构谈到经济结构和家庭结构，而且后面提到的“单亲和双职工家庭”等也确实是在谈论家庭结构问题，因此空格处应填入这个不止一次出现的关键词structure。
