The proportion of American adults who are married【S3】______from 72 percent in 1970 to 60 percent in 2002.

Experts【S5】______that about the same proportion of today’s young adults will eventually marry.

Besides, young adults of the 1950s married younger than did any【S7】______generation in U.S. history. Today’s later age of marriage is in line with the age of marriage between 1890 and 1940. Moreover, a【S8】______proportion of the population was married(95 percent)during the 1950s than at any time before and after. Experts do not【S9】______on why the "marriage rush" of the late 1940s and 1950s occurred, but most social scientists believe it represented a response to the return of peaceful life and【S10】______after 15 years of severe economic depression and war.
[A] declined [F] scarcely [K] widespread

[C] varied [H] substantially [M] number
[D] remain [I] predict [N] agree
[E] continued [J] larger [O] lower [br] 【S1】
选项
答案
H
解析
本文开篇句中had higher rates即指出美国与其他工业化国家相比,结婚率高,因此此处需要填入一个修饰higher,表示程度更高的副词,因此在两个副词中排除[F]scarcely“不足地,几乎不”,填入[H] substantially“相当地,实质性地”。
