Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the following questions from 45 to 54. 
 Most Americans still get married at some point in their lives, but even that group is shrinking. Among 
current generations of adult American – starting with those born in 1920s – more than 90 percent have married 
or will marry at some point in their lives. However, based on recent patterns of marriage and mortality, 
demographers calculate that a growing share of the younger generations are postponing marriage for so long 
that an unprecedented number will never marry at all. 
 More Americans are living together outside of marriage. Divorced and widowed people are waiting longer 
to remarry. An increasing number of single women are raising children. Put these trends together with our 
increasing life expectancy, and the result is inevitable. Americans are spending a record low proportion of their 
adult lives married. 
 Married rates for unmarried men and women have dropped from their post-1950s high to record lows. 
Part of this fall is due to the change in the age at which people first marry. The median age at first marriage is the 
age by which half the men or women who will ever marry have done so. It fell almost continuously from the time it 
was first measured, in 1890, at 22.0 years for women and 26.1 for men, to a low of 20.3 for women and 22.6 for 
men between 1947 and 1962. Since then, it has risen at a rapid pace, to a record high for 23.8 for women and 
26.2 for men in 1994. 
 The length of time between marriages is also increasing, and more divorced people are choosing not to 
remarry. In 1990, divorced men had waited an average of 3.8 years before remarrying, and divorced women had 
waited an average of 3.5 years, an increase of more than one year over the average interval in 1970. 
 Data on cohabitation and unmarried childbearing suggest that marriage is becoming less relevant to 
Americans. 2.8 million of the nation’s households are unmarried couples, and one-third of them are caring for 
children, according to the Census Bureau. 
Question 45: The passage supports all of the following statements EXCEPT______ 
A. Americans are having fewer children than they did in the past 
B. Divorced Americans are waiting longer to marry. 
C. Americans are spending fewer years married than they did in the past. 
D. Most Americans get married at least once. 
Question 46: The word “those” in paragraph 1 refers to______ 
A. adult Americans B. American men 
C. married Americans D. younger generations 
Question 47: The word “unprecedented” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_________ 
A. never before seen B. decreasing 
C. unbelievable D. impossible to count 
Question 48: According to the passage, recent demographic patterns suggest that_______ 
A. 90 percent of younger generations will marry. 
B. young people prefer to marry in order to have children. 
C. most young people delay marriage for personal reasons. 
D. an increasing number of young people will never marry. 
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to paragraph 2? 
A. More Americans are living together without marrying. 
B. It takes divorced and widowed people fewer years before they get married again than in the past.

D. Americans are spending fewer years in their adult lives married.

A. remained about the same. B. decreased by less than 2 years. 
C. decreased by more than 3 years. D. increased by almost 2 years.

A. rose then fell between 1890 and 1962. 
B. rose between the 1960s and 1990s. 
C. reached a record high for women in the early 1960s. 
D. fell continuously between 1947 and 1962.

A. fast B. increasing C. unbelievable D. predictable

A. More divorced people want to remarry. 
B. Divorced people waited longer to remarry in the past than today. 
C. Divorced women had waited longer before remarrying than divorced men.
