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 them were charitable. Both in Europe and in the U. S. the day-nursery movement received great impetus during the First World War, when【C2】______of manpower caused the industrial employment of unprecedented numbers of women. In some European countries nurseries were established even in munitions(军火)plants, under direct government sponsorship.【C3】______the number of nurseries in the U. S. also rose sharply, this rise was accomplished without government aid of any kind. During the years following the First World War,【C4】______, Federal, state, and local governments gradually began to exercise a measure of control【C5】______the day nurseries, chiefly by licensing them and by inspecting and regulating the conditions within the nurseries.
The outbreak of the Second World War was quickly followed by an increase in the number of day nurseries in almost all countries, as women were【C6】______called upon to replace men in the factories. On this【C7】______the U. S. government immediately came to the support of the nursery schools, allocating $6 000 000 in July, 1942, for a nursery-school program for the children of working mothers. Many states and local communities【C8】______this Federal aid. By the end of the war, in August, 1945, more than 100 000 children were being cared for in day-care centers receiving Federal subsidies. Soon afterward, the Federal government【C9】______cut down its expenditures for this purpose and later abolished them, causing a sharp drop in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the expectation that most employed mothers would leave their【C10】______at the end of the war was only partly fulfilled. [br] 【C6】

选项 A、again
B、thus
C、repeatedly
D、yet

答案 A

解析根据上下文的意思，此处所填的词应表示“再次，又一次”，所以正确答案为A项again，与第2题句中的unprecedented一词相参照。B项thus(因此)表示因果关系；C项repeatedly意为“频繁地”；D项yet表示转折关系，它们显然都与题意不符。
