The typical pre-industrial family not only had a good many children, but numerous other【C1】______as well—grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Such "extended" families were【C2】______for survival in slow paced agricultural societies. But such families are hard to transplant. They are【C3】______. Industrialism demanded masses of workers ready and able to move off the land in【C4】______of jobs, and to move again whenever necessary. Thus the extended family【C5】______shed its excess weight and the so-called " nuclear" family emerged—a stripped-down, portable family unit consisting only of parents and a small set of children. This new style family, far more【C6】______than the traditional extended family, became the standard model in all the industrial countries. Super-industrialism, however, the next stage of eco-technological development,【C7】______even higher mobility. Thus we may expect many among the people of the future to carry the streamlining process, a step further by remaining children,【C8】______the family down to its more elemental components, a man and a woman. Two people, perhaps with matched careers, will prove more efficient at【C9】______through education and social status, through job changes and geographic relocations, than the ordinarily child-cluttered family. A compromise may be the postponement of children, rather than childlessness. Men and women today are often torn in【C10】______between a commitment to career and a commitment to children. In the future, many couples will sidestep this problem by deferring the entire task of raising children until after retirement.

选项
答案
O
解析
分析该句的句子结构可以推断出空格处应为动词的现在分词形式。该句的大意是我们或许期望未来有许多人进一步缩小家庭规模,比保留孩子的“核心家庭”更进一步,由此可知此处讲的是缩小家庭的规模,只留下其必需的成员,即一个男人和一个女人。此外,cut sth.down to是固定用法,意为“削减,缩小(尺寸、数量或数目)”,故答案选O。
