问题      Strong bonds can exist in dating relationships. My cousin Candice and her friend Louis started dating casually last year. As the months passed, they began seeing only each other, and now they enjoy a close relationship. They are neither married or engaged but are constant companions and consider each other best friends. Candice’s friends think of them as a couple and recognize their special relationship.
    Both Candice and Louis have made commitments to each other. They think of themselves as couple. However, each has the freedom to develop new friends, to seek separate social activities, to build separate careers, and to have his or her individual needs fulfilled.
    Living together can be the transition from extended dating to marriage. Just recently, Louis and Candice decided to live together. They are not sure about marriage and want to try living together first. Louis has many divorced friends who had rushed into marriage. He doesn’t want to make a similar mistake. He knows that living together will not be easy, but feels he has few alternatives. Friends and family will exert pressure on the couple to get married. Louis knows that this is the worst reason to get married. He believes that living together will provide Candice and him with an opportunity to see how well each can adjust to the other’s feelings and living styles.He hopes they will discover whether they are compatible.
    Louis moved into Candice’s apartment this weekend. Books, records, and clothing fit in nicely. Of course, they will have to decide what to do with two couches, two beds, twenty-two pots and pans, and duplicates of all kitchen and bath items. They have settled in as an unmarried-married couple and will have to make the same adjustments as any newlyweds.
The word "compatible" (in the last paragraph but one) can be replaced by "______".

选项 A、harmonious
B、consistent
C、understanding
D、particular

答案A

解析 本题为上下文理解题。第三段倒数第二句 “He believes that living together will provide Candice and him with an opportunity to see how well each can adjust to the other’s feelings and living styles.” 即:同居可以给他们提供一个机会,看他们能否相互适应对方的情感和生活方式。这就解释了下一句中 compatible (协调的,一致的,兼容的)的含义。选项B意思是“符合的,一贯的”。
