Living Alone Is Joyful More and more Americans are living alone.Some live alone because of divorce or the death of a partner. _______（46) According to a recent U.S.census（人口普查）,25 percent of all households in the U.S.are made up of just one person.This is dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago. The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely．
______(47)The majority of these people have chosen to live alone.They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.
It's now socially acceptable,even fashionable,to live alone.As people get better jobs and become financially 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 want when they want to do it."Living alone is a luxury,"says Nina Hagiwara,33."Once you do it,you can't ever go back to living with others,"David C'Debaca,46,agrees.
______(49) Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please._______(50) The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking.
选项 ______(48)
A:There's more pressure to get married nowadays.
B:The growing number of women with good jobs has done much to increase the number of people living alone.
C:However,even more people are living alone because they have chosen to.
D:It seems that many grown-ups today are realizing that childhood dream.
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B
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”。选项中只有C项“更多的美国人过单身生活的原因是他们选择了这种生活方式”是与此相关联的。
前面一句话说“典型的独居人群既不是老年人也不是离异者”；后面一句话说“这些人中的大部分人选择了这一生活方式”，联系上下文可知，“这些人”指的不是前面所提到的老年人或离异者，而应该是本段最后一句话中所提到的“响应减轻社会压力而不结婚和组建家庭的人”，选项中只有E项“事实上，在美国2300万个单身的人中有1/4的人不到35岁”是与此相关联的。
前面一句话说“因为人们得到了更好的工作，经济上更加独立，所以他们才有可能维持一个人生活需要的开支”，而选项中只有B项“越来越多的女士有了好的工作，她们也使得独居人口的数量增加了”是与此相关联的。
前面一句话提到了一个人David C ' Debaca，他说“一旦你独居了，就很难再与他人生活在一起。”说明他已经可惯了这种生活方式，而选项中只有F项“他说他喜欢自己生活”是与此相关联的。
最后一段的第一句话说“儿童认为，长大意味着想干什么就干什么”，而选项中只有D项“似乎今天许多大人正在实现那种儿时的梦想”是与此相关联的。
