问题      Strong bonds can exist in dating relationships. My cousin Candice and her friend Louis started dating casually last year. As the months passed, they began seeing only each other, and now they enjoy a close relationship. They are neither married or engaged but are constant companions and consider each other best friends. Candice’s friends think of them as a couple and recognize their special relationship.
    Both Candice and Louis have made commitments to each other. They think of themselves as couple. However, each has the freedom to develop new friends, to seek separate social activities, to build separate careers, and to have his or her individual needs fulfilled.
    Living together can be the transition from extended dating to marriage. Just recently, Louis and Candice decided to live together. They are not sure about marriage and want to try living together first. Louis has many divorced friends who had rushed into marriage. He doesn’t want to make a similar mistake. He knows that living together will not be easy, but feels he has few alternatives. Friends and family will exert pressure on the couple to get married. Louis knows that this is the worst reason to get married. He believes that living together will provide Candice and him with an opportunity to see how well each can adjust to the other’s feelings and living styles.He hopes they will discover whether they are compatible.
    Louis moved into Candice’s apartment this weekend. Books, records, and clothing fit in nicely. Of course, they will have to decide what to do with two couches, two beds, twenty-two pots and pans, and duplicates of all kitchen and bath items. They have settled in as an unmarried-married couple and will have to make the same adjustments as any newlyweds.
Living together ______.

选项 A、is practiced by relatively few
B、is guilty
C、is pretty common among singles
D、will involve both good and trying times

答案D

解析 本题为细节推理题。文章第三段暗示同居可以避免 Louis 那些朋友在婚姻问题上所犯的错误,但同时又指出“living together will not be easy”,因为有来自各方面的压力 (Friends and family will exert pressure on the couple to get married)。这正好符合选项 D 中的 “good” 和 “trying” (使人痛苦的,考验人的)两个词的含义。
