As a wise man once said, we are all ultimately alone. But an【C1】______number of Europeans are choosing to be so at an ever earlier age. This isn’t the stuff of gloomy philosophical【C2】______, but a fact of Europe’s new economic landscape, believed in by sociologists,real estate developers and ad executive alike. The【C3】______away from family life to solo lifestyle, observes a French sociologist, is part of the " irresistible【C4】______of individualism " over the last century. The communications revolution, the change from a business culture of stability to one of【C5】______and the mass entry of women into the【C6】______have greatly wreaked havoc (大破坏) on European’s private lives.
Europe’s new economic climate has largely【C7】______ the trend toward independence. The current generation of home-aloners came of age【C8】______Europe’s shift from social democracy to the sharper, more individualistic climate of American-style capitalism.【C9】______in an era of privatization and increased consumer choice, today’s tech-savvy (精通技术的) workers have【C10】______a free market in love as well as economics. Modern Europeans are rich enough to【C11】______to live alone, and temperamentally independent enough to want to do so.
Once upon a time, people who lived alone【C12】______to be those on either side of marriage—twenty something【C13】______or widowed senior citizens. While pensioners,【C14】______elderly women, make up a large【C15】______of those living alone, the newest crop of singles are high earners in their 30s and 40s who increasingly【C16】______living alone as a lifelong choice. Living alone was【C17】______to be negative—dark and cold,while being together【C18】______warmth and light. But then came【C19】______the idea of singles. They were young,beautiful, and strong! Now,young people want to live alone.
The【C20】______economy means people are working harder than ever, which doesn’t leave much room for relationships. [br] 【C11】
选项
A、reduce
B、offer
C、afford
D、compensate
答案
C
解析
动词辨义。本句意为“现代的欧洲人,无论从经济能力还是内心的独立意愿来讲,都已经具备单身生活的条件”。故选C)afford,它常接在can/could或be able to后,表示“担负得起(损失、后果等),足以,够得上(做某事)”。
