According to the passage, when did Canada’s baby boom begin? [br]
Basic to any understanding of Canada in the 20 years after the Second World War is the country’s impressive population growth. For every three Canadians in 1945, there were over five in 1966. In September 1966 Canada’s population passed the 20 million mark. Most of this surging growth came from natural increase. The depression of the 1930’s and the war had held back marriages, and the catching-up process began after 1945. The baby boom continued through the decade of the 1950’s, producing a population increase of nearly fifteen percent in the five years from 1951 to 1956. After the peak year of 1957, the birth rate in Canada began to decline. It continued falling until 1966 it stood at its lowest level in 25 years. Partly this decline reflected the low level of births during the depression and the war, but it was also caused by changes in Canadian society. Young people were staying at school longer; more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families. It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution.
选项
A、people’s staying at school longer.
B、people’s getting married earlier.
C、better standards of living.
D、couples’ buying houses before starting families.
答案
B
解析
细节题。文中提到:年轻人求学时间增长、出现更多的职业妇女、新婚夫妇在养育后代之前忙于买车或购房和减少家庭人口以提高生活水平是人口出生率下降的原因,没有提到的是B。预读题干时,应注意EXCEPT。
