Once upon a time, people who lived alone tended to be
those on either side of marriage—twenty something professionals
or widowed senior citizens. While pensioners, particularly
elderly women, making up a large proportion of those【S1】______
are living alone, the newest crop of singles are high earners【S2】______
on their 30s and 40s who increasingly view living alone as a lifestyle【S3】______

along the idea of singles. They were young, beautiful, strong!
Now, young people want to live alone.

ever. And that doesn’t leave much rooms for relationships. Pimpi【S5】______
Arroyo, a 35-year-old composer who lives alone in a house in Paris,

"I have deadlines which would make life with someone else fair【S7】______
difficult. " Only an Ideal Woman would make him change his
lifestyle, he says. Kaufmann, an author of a recent book called The【S8】______
Single Woman and Prince Charming, thought this very new【S9】______

a career to raise a family. Instead, "I’ve always done what I wanted

【S4】
选项
答案
since—while
解析
连词误用。这里主句说“独居被认为是消极的:黑暗而又寒冷”;从句说“和别人同住则意味着温暖和光明”,可见主句与从句之间是对比关系,不是因果关系,因此应该使用while。
