Living Alone Is Joyful
More and more Americans are living alone. Some live alone because of divorce or the death of a partner. 【B1】______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 a dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple of generations ago.
The typical person living alone is neither old nor lonely.【B2】______The majority of these people have chosen to live alone. They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family.

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.【B4】______
Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please.【B5】______ The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking.

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.

选项
答案
E
解析
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2 300万个单身的人中有1/4的人不到35岁”是与此相关联的。
