问题     The horse and carriage is thing of the past. But love and marriage are still with us and still closely interrelated. Most American marriages, particularly first marriages【B1】______young couples are the result of【B2】______attraction and affection【B3】______ than practical considerations.
    In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children. Teenagers begin【B4】______in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social【B5】______. Though young people feel【B6】______to choose their friends from【B7】______groups, most choose a mate of similar background. This is【B8】______in part to parental guidance. Parents cannot select spouses for their children, but they can usually【B9】______choices by【B10】______disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable.
    【B11】______, marriages between members of different groups (interclass, interfaith, and interracial marriages) are increasing, probably because of the greater【B12】______of today’s youth and the fact that they are restricted by【B13】______prejudices than their parents. Many young people leave their home towns to attend college,【B14】______in the armed forces,【B15】______pursue a career in a bigger city. Once away from home and family, they are more【B16】______to date and marry outside their own social group. In mobile American society, interclass marriages are neither【B17】______nor shocking. Interfaith marriages are【B18】______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【B19】______a family. Marriages between people of different national【B20】______(but the same race and religion) have been commonplace here since colonial times.
【B3】
选项 A、more
B、less
C、rather
D、other
答案C
解析 考查逻辑关系。空格处所在句子的意思为：大多数美国人的婚姻，尤其是年轻人的初次婚姻，依然是情感相吸和互相爱慕的结果，______处于现实的忧虑。空格两边明显是对立的，rather than意为“而不是…”，符合句意，因此正确答案为C．rather。“more than+名词”表示“不仅仅是”，不如rather than恰当；less than意为“少于”，显然不符合题意；other than意为“除了…”，亦不符合语境。
