题目 6 二、 阅读理解： 选择题（ 每题 10 分）

Most couples who get married or decide to live togethergenerally plan to have children. Several years ago, peoplethought that having big families was common and thiswas seen as an advantage. That was mainly becausechildren began working at an early age to help providefor the family. But with the changing times and with thecost of living getting higher every single year, having abig family is no longer considered to be a practicaloption. In fact, more couples consider that they haveonly one child and some do not have any desire tobecome parents at all.

According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by1986, women aged 40 to 44 years, were considerablymore likely to have given birth to two children than threechildren (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%).However, taken together, women were still more likely tohave had three or more children than to have had twochildren (46% vs. 36%).

In recent years, women were more likely to have had twochildren than three or more children – a trend that wasmost marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in1996; 38% vs. 22% in 2006). These days, most families inAustralia have two children. But the number of womenwho had given birth to a single child increasedprogressively from only 8% in 1981 to 13% in 2006.

The U.S. Census Bureau states that there areapproximately 14 million only children in America today.This comprises 20% of the children'spopulation compared to only 10% around fifty yearsago.

解析：

1. 这是一道细节题。 本题询问“几年前， 人们认为拥有大家庭？ ” ， 第一段第二句话告诉读者 “人们认为有个大家庭， 很常见， 而且大家庭也被认为是个优势” ， 所以选 C。
