Living with parents edges out other living arrangements for18-to34-year-olds
A)Broad demographic(人口的)shifts is marital status,educational attainment and employment have transformed the way young adults in the U.S.are living,and a new Pew Research Center
analysis highlights the implications of these changes for the most basic element of their lives—where they call home.In2014,for the first time in more than130years,adults ages18to 34were slightly more likely to be living in their parents’home than they were to be living with a spouse or partner in their own household.
B)This turn of events is fueled primarily by the dramatic drop in the share of young Americans who are choosing to settle down romantically before age35.Dating back to1880,the most common living arrangement among young adults has been living with a romantic partner,whether a spouse or a significant other.This type of arrangement peaked around1960,when62%of the nation’s18-to34-year-olds were living with a spouse or partner in their own household,and only one-in-five were living with their parents.
C)By2014,31.6%of young adults were living with a spouse or partner in their own household, below the share living in the home of their parent(s)(32.1%).Some14%of young adults lived alone,were a sin
gle parent or lived with one or more roommates.The remaining22%lived in the home of another family member(such as a grandparent,in-law or sibling(兄弟妹)),a non-relative,or in group quarters like college dormitories.
D)It’s worth noting that the overall share of young adults living with their parents was not at a record high in2014.This arrangement peaked around1940,when about35%of the nation’s18-to 34-year-olds lived with mom and/or dad(compared with32%in2014).What has changed,instead, is the relative share adopting different ways of living in early adulthood,with the decline of romantic coupling pushing living at home to the top of a much less uniform list of living arrangements.
Among young adults,living arrangements differ significantly by gender.For men ages18to34, living at home with mom and/or dad has been the dominant living arrangement since2009,In 2014,28%of young men were living with a spouse of partner in their own home,while35%were living in the home of their parent(s).Young women,however,are still more likely to be living with a spouse of romantic partner(35%)than they are to be living with their parent(s)(29%).
F)In2014,more young women(16%)than young men(13%)were heading up a household without a spouse or parther.This is mainly because women are more likely than men to be sigle parents living wit
h their children.For their part,young men(25%)are more likely than young women(19%)to be living in the home of another family member,a non-relative or in some type of group quarters.
G)A variety of factors contribute to the long-run increase in the share of young.Adults living with the parents.The first in the postponement of,if not retreat from,marriage.The average age of first marriage has risen steadily for decades.In addition,a growing share of young adult may be avoiding marriage altogether.A previous Pew Research Center analysis projected that as many as one-in-four of today’s young adult may never marry.While cohabitation（同居）has been on the rise,the overall share of young adults either married or living with an unmarried patner has substantially fallen since1990.
H)In addition,trends in both employment status and wages have likely contributed to the growing share of young adults who are living in the home of their parent(s),and this is especially true of young men.Employed young men are much less likely to live at home than young men without a job,and employment among young men has fallen significantly in recent decades.The share of young men with jobs peaked around1960at84%.In2014,only71%of 18-to-34-year-old men were employed.Similarly with earnings,young men’s wages(after
adjusting for inflation)have been on a downward trajectory(轨迹)since1970and fell significantly form20
00to2010.As wages have fallen,the share of young men living in the home of their parent(s)has risen.
I)Economic factors seem to explain less of why young adult women are increasingly likely to live at home.Generally,young women have had growing success in the paid labor market since 1960and hence might increasingly be expected to be a be to afford to afford to live independently of their parents.For women,delayed marriage—which is related,in part,to labor market outcomes for men—may explain more of the increase in their living in the family home.
J)The Great Recession(and modest recovery)has also been associated with an increase in young adults living at home.Initially in the wake of the recession,college enrollments expanded, boosting the ranks of young adults living at home.And given the weak job opportunities facing young adults,living at home was part of the private safety net help young adults to weather the economic storm.
K)Beyond gender,young adult’s living arrangements differ considerable by education—which is tied to financial means.For young adults without a bachelor’s degree,as of2008living at home with their parents was more prevalent than living with a romantic partner.By2014,36%of18-to 34-year-olds who had not completed a bachelor’s degree were living with their parent(s)while 27%were living with a spouse or partner.Among college graduates,in201446%were married or living with a partner,and only1
9%were living with their parent(s).Young adults with a college degree have fared much better in the labor market than their less-educated counterparts,which has in turn made it easier to establish their own households.
36.Unemployed young men are more likely to live with their parents than the employed.
37.In2014,the percentage of men aged18to34living with their parents was greater than
that of their female counterparts.
38.The percentage of young people who are married or live with a partner has greatly
decreased in the past three decades or so.
39.Around the mid-20th century,only20percent of18-to34-year-old lived in their parents’
home.
40.Young adults with a college degree found it easier to live independently of their parents.
41.Young men are less likely to end up as single parents than young women.
42.More young adult women live with their parents than before due to delayed marriage.
43.The percentage of young men who live with their parents has grown due to their decreased
pay in recent decades.
44.The rise in the number of college students made more young adults live with their parents.
45.One reason for young adults to live with their parents is that get married late or stay single
all their lives.

Section C
Directions:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and
D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on
Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions46to50are based on the following passage.
According to the majority of Americans,women are every bit as capable of being good political leaders as men.The same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate boardroom. And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on women and leadership,most Americans find women indistinguishable from men on key leadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation,with many saying they’re stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.
So why,then,are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States?According to the public,at least,it’s not that they lack toughness,management talent or proper skill sets.
It’s also not all about work-life balance.Although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive jobs,relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this
as a key barrier for women seeking leadership roles.Only about one-in-five say women’s family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadership positions in business and politics.
Instead,topping the list of reasons,about four-in-ten Americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business,where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves.Similar shares say the electorate(选民)and corporate America are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions.
As a result,the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate America will change in the foreseeable future,even though women have made major advances in the workplace. While53%believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future,44%say it’s only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men.Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics:73%expect to see a female president in their lifetime.
46.What do most Americans think of women leaders according to a new Pew Research
Center survey?
A)They have to do more to distinguish themselves.
B)They have to strive harder to win their positions.
C)They are stronger than men in terms of willpower.
D)They are just as intelligent and innovative as men.
47.What do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles?
A)They have unconquerable difficulties on their way to success.
B)They are lacking in confidence when competing with men.
C)Their failures may have something to do with family duties.
D)Relatively few are hindered in their career advancement.
48.What is the primary factor keeping women from taking top leadership positions according
to the recent survey?
A)Personality traits.
B)Family responsibilities.
C)Gender bias.
D)Lack of vacancies.
