1.[B]事实细节题。本题考查特殊符号处。作者在第1段第2句很清楚地在Americansareamarryingpeople后面用冒号引出对这一说法的解释。对比选项A与选项B，就可发现选项A不够完整。
2.[A]推理判断题。第1段第1句的主语揭示了答案应为选项A。选项B与原文第1段第3句的陈述不符，选项C和D均无原文依据。
3.[D]推理判断题。本题涉及第2段的理解，该段第1句是一个主语从句，也可视为该段的主题句，点出了本段的主题是nuclearfamily，该段其他句子描述了什么是nuclearfamily。本题其实考査哪个选项是对nuclearfamily的正确描述，明白了第2段的结构后，找出正确答案就不难了。
4.[C]推理判断题。在最后一段第1句中，通过对比full-time和part-time的本义，以及联系上下文讲到的家庭现象，可以推断出part-timechildren应是指时不时和父亲或母亲生活的小孩，由此可见，选项C是正确答案。选项A毫无原文依据，B明显错误，题干中问的是part-timechildren，故显然不可能spendalloftheirtime,否则修饰语就应该是full-time,选项D与“Itisnotallthatunusual…”相悖。
5.[C]推理判断题。文章结尾处暗示了答案。原文并未讨论婚姻的功能，故选项A不对，选项B并无依据，选项D有悖第2段第1句的意思。
