Japan’s divorce rate rose to a record high last year, reflecting an increasing number of middle-aged and older couples who are parting ways.
    The number of divorces rose for a 12th straight year in 2002, according to recently re leased government statistics that provided the latest confirmation that the stigma long associated with breaking up is fading in this country.
    According to the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry, a record 289,836 couples divorced last year, up 1.4 percent from the previous high of 285,911 in 2001.
    Behind the rise is an increasing number of couples who are parting ways after being married for 20 years or more: They accounted for 15.7 percent in 1975. The corresponding figure for newlyweds—married five years or less—fell to 34.4 percent from 49 percent.
    Divorce is no longer seen as a social taboo in harmony-conscious Japan. But that is slowly becoming a thing of the past, a trend some attribute to a weakening of group-oriented values.
选项 A、The rising rate of divorces is attributed to the increasing influence of western cultures.
B、Divorce was regarded as a disgrace in Japan more than a decade ago.
C、Harmony has long been treasured in Japanese society
D、Group awareness is becoming weaker nowadays.
答案A
解析 原文中提到的“...the stigma long associated with breaking up is fading in this country”即“长期以来人们认为离婚是耻辱的观念正在消失”可与选项b的内容相对应；原文最后一段提到的“Divorce is no longer seen as a social taboo in harmony-conscious Japan.”即“离婚在重视和睦的日本不再被当作是社会禁忌”可与选项C对照；“...a trend some attributes to a weakening of group-oriented values.”即“这种趋势归因于集体意识正在淡漠”可与选项d对应。显然只有选项a的说法与原文不符，因此该项是正确答案。
