This is due to how the particular project has been set up. There are settings in Studio that can be changed that would allow you to access this feature. I'm no Studio expert though, so someone else will have to step in here.
Either
(1) your project manager set it up that way (either by mistake, or on purpose*), or
(2) you set it up that way (unknowingly)
* project managers sometimes switch off joining of segments in order to ensure a more uniform segmentation across multiple projects and/or translators, in order to maximise the amount of (exact and fuzzy) hits that are found when analysing documents at the outset of a project (to try to squeeze even more profit out of you)
