nancially independent, it becomes possible for them to maintain a one-person household._______(48)
However, people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often.
The number one reason given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they

E: In fact, a quarter of the 23 million single people in the U. S.are under the age of 35.
F: He says, "I like being by myself. "
答案D
解析在第一段开始，作者就提到“越来越多的美国人过着单身生活”，紧接着讲述了“一些人 过着单身生活的原因是离婚或者配偶的去世”在几个选项中，只有C选项与前文相照应，因为 C选项提到了美国人过单身生活的其他原因二故选C。
从第二段的第一句话，我们很容易看出本段叙述单身生活的人群。第一句话指出“典 型的单身者既不是老年人也不是离异者”，那么在其后面肯定是说明这些典型的．单身者到底是 什么人。在几个选项里面，只有E提到了人群，即“事实上，在美国，2300万单身者中，有四分 之一的人处于35岁以下”：故选E。
本题可以用排除法解决。首先本段主要叙述单身生活被社会所接受以及各种成因，主 要是因为人们得到了更好的工作，经济上更加独立等。但该段没有提及pressure（压力）,child- hood dream（儿时梦想），故排除A和D；在F中的He没有前后呼应的主语，故将其排除。只有 B选项与本段内容相符。
第四段的倒数第二句话提到了一个人物David C' Debaca，所以能与人物相对应的只有 F选项中的He。
最后一段的第一句话说：儿童认为，长大意味着想十什么就于什么。选项D的意思是： 似平今天许多大人正在实现那种儿时梦想。第6部分：完形填空
