问题      The horse and carriage is a thing of the past, but love and marriage are still with us and still closely interrelated. Most American marriages, particularly first marriages【1】young couples, are the result of mutual attraction and affection【2】than practical considerations. In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children. Teenagers begin【3】in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social contacts. Though young people feel free to choose their friends from【4】groups, most choose a mate of similar background. This is due in part to parental guidance. Parents cannot select spouses for their children, but they can usually【5】choices by voicing disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable.
    【6】, marriages between members of different groups (interclass, interfaith, and interracial marriages) are increasing, probably because of the greater【7】of today’s youth and the fact that they are restricted by fewer prejudices than their parents. Many young people leave their home towns to attend colleges,【8】in the armed forces, or pursue a career in the bigger cities. Once away from home and family, they are more【9】to date and marry outside their own social group.
     In mobile American society, interclass marriages are neither rare nor shocking. Interfaith marriages are on 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【10】a family. Marriages between people of different national origin (but the same race and religion) have been commonplace here since colonial times.
选项 A、probable
B、likely
C、reluctant
D、readily
答案B
解析 本题测试形容词。probable意为“很可能的，可能发生的”，指事物有根据、合情理、值得相信的，通常作表语；likely意为“可能的，很可能发生的”，指从表面迹象来看很有可能的，可以作表语或与that从句连用，还可以与动词不定式连用；reluctant意为“勉强的，不愿意的”，指“不情愿做……的”；readily意为“欣然地，爽快地”，是副词，用在此处明显不对。根据句子后面的to可知，应该选用likely。
