答案解析

46.C 第一段的第一句講的是：越來越多的人過著單身的生活。第二句是講過單身生活的原因。C也是一種過單身生活的原因。因此填入c是連貫的。

47.E 第二段的第一句講的是：一個(gè)典型的過單身生活的人既非年長，也非孤獨(dú)。這是主題句。主題句后面應(yīng)是具體r的說明。E是具體的說明，因而是正確的答案。

48.B B是合適的選擇，因?yàn)樯弦痪涫沁@么說的：隨著人們能找到更好的工作，經(jīng)濟(jì)上變得更加獨(dú)立，他們就越有可能保持住單人的家庭。

49.F 上一句是Nina Hagiwara說的話，David C'Debaca表示同意。下面是他說的話，因而F是合適的選擇。

50.D 最后一段的第一句是這么說的：兒童認(rèn)為，長大意味著想干什么就干什么。D說的是：似乎今天許多大人正在實(shí)現(xiàn)這種童年時(shí)的夢(mèng)想。
