问题     The horse and carriage is thing of the past, but love and marriage is still with us and still closely interrelated. Most American marriages, particularly first marriages【C1】________young couples are the result of【C2】________ attraction and affection【C3】________ than practical considerations.
    In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children. Teenagers begin【C4】________in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social【C5】________. Though young people feel【C6】________to choose their friends from【C7】________groups, most choose a mate of similar background. This is【C8】________in part to parental guidance. Parents cannot select spouses for their children, but they can usually【C9】________ choices by【C10】________ disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable.
    【C11】________, marriages between members of different groups (interclass, interfaith, and interracial marriages) are increasing, probably because of the greater【C12】________of today’s youth and the fact that they are restricted by【C13】________prejudice than their parents. Many young people leave their home towns to attend college,【C14】________in the armed forces,【C15】________pursue a career in a bigger city. Once away from home and family, they are more【C16】________to date and marry outside their own social group. In mobile American society, interclass marriages are neither【C17】________nor shocking. Interfaith marriages are【C18】________the rise particularly between Protestants and Catholics. On the other hand, interracial marriage is still very uncommon. It can be difficult for interracial couples to find a place to live, maintain friendships, and【C19】________a family. Marriages between people of different national【C20】________(but the same race and religion) have been commonplace here since colonial times.
【C2】
选项 A、personal
B、unusual
C、emotional
D、magnetic
答案C
解析 本填空选择一个形容词。首先分析本填空所在句子要表达的意思，此句实际属于分述，是顺延着本文的主线向下写的，即围绕着“爱情与婚姻紧密联系”的主题。本句子的主语为Most American marriages(大多数美国人的婚姻)，而本填空修饰attraction and affection(吸引和爱慕)。本填空与原文已知词汇practical(实际的、现实的)形成对应，而且根据句子的意思，两者意思应该是相反的，所以四个选项：A)personal(个人的)、B)unusual(罕见的，不常见的)、C)emotional(情感的)和D)magnetic(磁石的)中，只有选项C)emotional(情感的)与practical形成对应，答案为选项C)。
