(14)There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last 50 years. The liberation of women in the early part of the 20th century and the social and economic effects of World War II had a great impact on traditional family life. Women became essential to industry and the professions.(15)During the war, they had worked in factories and proved their worth. With the loss of millions of men, their services were indispensable to the nation. More recently, great advances in scientific knowledge, and particularly in medicine, have had enormous social consequences. Children are better cared for and are far healthier. Infant death rate is low. Above all, parents can now plan the size of their family if they wish by more effective means of birth control. Different attitudes to religion, authority and tradition generally have also greatly contributed to changes in family life. But these developments have affected all aspects of society.(16)It is particularly interesting to note the concept of "the family" as a social unit has survived all these challenges.
14. What is this passage mainly about?
15. Why did British women become indispensable to the nation after World War II ?
16. What remained unchanged in spite of all the changes in family life?

选项 A、Because millions of men died in the war.
B、Because women had proved their worth.
C、Because women were more skillful than men.
D、Because factories preferred to employ women.

答案 A

解析 短文中提到,在战争期间,女性去工厂劳动,证明了自己的价值。伴随着大量男性在战争中牺牲,女性对国家来说变得必不可少。因此,女性在第二次世界大战后变得对国家必不可少的直接原因是大量男性在战争中牺牲。
