问题 What is this passage mainly about?
There are many reasons why family life in Britain has changed so much in the last fifty years. The liberation of women in the early part of the twentieth 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. During the war they had worked in factories and proved their worth, now, 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 through 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. It is particularly interesting to note that the concept of "the family" as a social unit has survived all these challenges.

选项 A、The liberation movement of British women.
B、Rapid economic development in Britain.
C、Changing attitudes to family life.
D、Reasons for changes in family life in Britain.

答案 D

解析 主旨题。短文一开始就说在过去50年英国人的家庭生活发生了巨大的变化是有多种原因的,接下来具体谈到各种原因,包括妇女的解放、二战后社会和经济的影响,医学的发展、对宗教、权威、传统的态度的不同,可见本文主要讲的就是英国人家庭生活发生变化的原因,故D项正确。
