    The United States has historically had higher rates of marriage than those of other industrialized countries. The current annual marriage rate in the United States—about 9 new marriages for every 1,000 people—【T17】______ . However, marriage is no longer as widespread as it was several decades ago. The proportion of American adults who are married declined from 72 percent in 1970 to 60 percent in 2002.【T18】______ will remain unmarried throughout their lives. Throughout the 20th century, about 90 percent of Americans married at some point in their lives. Experts project that about the same proportion of today’s young adults will eventually marry.
    The timing of marriage【T19】______ . In 1995 the average age of women in the United States at the time of their first marriage was 25. The average age of men was about 27. Men and women in the United States marry for the first time at an average of five years later than people did in the 1950s. However, young adults of the 1950s married younger than did any previous generation in U. S. history. Today’s later age of marriage is in line with the age of marriage between 1890 and 1940. Moreover, a greater proportion of the population was married (95 percent) during the 1950s than at any time before and after. Experts do not agree on why the "marriage rush" of the late 1940s and 1950s occurred, but most social scientists believe【T20】______ after 15 years of severe economic depression and war.

选项 A、 
B、 
C、 
D、 
答案B
解析 空格处的意思为：专家们对于为什么20世纪40年代晚期以及20世纪50年代会出现“结婚高峰”这一点，始终没有达成共识，但是，大多数社会科学家认为，这是对15年严重的经济萧条和战争之后回归和平生活以及繁荣的回应。所以，B项“代表了回归和平生活以及繁荣的回应”符合题意。所以，答案是B。
