问题     For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenient foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have taken the drudgery out of housework. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.
    Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their parents or their interests take them.
    Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up a bachelor apartment. This is the era of women’s liberation.
    But all this freedom and affluence (富裕) have had an unforeseen and in some aspects a devastating (破坏的) effect on marriage.
Why are women able to achieve economic independence?

选项 A、Because they have their own salary.
B、Because convenience foods are available.
C、Because they are free away from drudgery.
D、Because they are attending college.

答案A

解析 推理题。由题干关键词achieve economic independence,可知出题点在文章首段结尾处。原因题的答案一般在定位点前后的信号词处,如果没有信号词,则答案在相邻的句子上。所以答案应为many wives have found jobs outside the home,对该句进行改写,则得到答案项A。干扰项B、C实际上是解释女性为何能外出工作,是支持论点的论据,不可能成为推理题的答案。
