36．【解析】 J。此处应填形容词，修饰名词societies。文章第一句就说The typical pre-industrial family„“工业化之前的典型家庭模式„„”，也就是“extended” family，存在于工业化之前的社会，即agricultural society。选项中的primary society“原始社会”不符合原文意思。 37．【解析】A。由be hard to do sth．可知，此处应填动词原形。根据They are immobile“这样的家庭很 难流动”，可知只有transplant“迁居，迁移”符合文意。 38．【解析】C。此处应填副词，修饰动词shed。选项中的副词有gradually和continually，原文中„and the So-called “nuclear” family emerged“所谓的‘核心家庭’便出现了”，emerge意为“浮现”，强调经过一 个过程后出现的。由此可以判断核心家庭从无到有逐渐出现，而不是连续不断地出现，故选择gradually。 39．【解析】O。此处需填表示“包含，由„„组成”的词。选项中的including和consisting均可以表示此意， 但由原文中的of可排除includin9，consist of为固定搭配。 40．【解析】H。由more„than可知，此处应填形容词，构成形容词的比较级结构。前面提到the traditional extended family是immobile，那么新型的家庭模式应该更具有流动性，故应选H。 41．【解析】M。此处缺少谓语动词。根据下文可以推测super-industrialism“(更发达的)超级工业化”需要更具流动性的家庭。空格处应填表示“需要，需求”的词。故选requires，表示出自一种迫切的需要 而提出的要求。 42．【解析】E。此处应填形容词，用来修饰名词components。文中说明家庭被减缩到由男人和女人组成。选项中的E)elemental“基本的，本质的”，而N)primary“主要的，最早的”，原调的是男人和女人是一个家庭最basic的组成部分，故E)更符合原文意思。 43．【解析】L。此处应填名词。晚要孩子，而不是不要孩子，是解决工作和孩子的折中的办法，故选项中的L)compromise“妥协，折中”符合文意。而solution虽然也表示解决办法，但不能表达夫妇们 无可奈何的心情，故排除。 44．【解析】F。上题中已提到工作和要孩子之间存在矛盾，故选conflict。 45．【解析】I。此处需填名词。空格后讲到养育孩子的问题，那么要解决这个问题应是夫妻两人，故这里应填I)couples。
