问题     Marriage is the socially recognized and approved union between individuals, who commit to one another with the expectation of a stable and【S1】______intimate relationship. It begins with a ceremony known as a wedding, which【S2】______unites the marriage partners. A marital relationship usually involves some kind of【S3】______, either written or specified by tradition, which defines the partners’【S4】______and obligations to each other, to any children they may have, and to their relatives. In most contemporary industrialized societies, marriage is【S5】______by the government.
    In addition to being a personal relationship between two people, marriage is one of society’s most important and basic institutions. Marriage and family serve as tools for ensuring social reproduction. Social reproduction mainly includes providing food, clothing, and【S6】______for family members; raising and socializing children; and caring for the sick and【S7】______. In families and societies in which wealth, property, or a hereditary (世袭的) tide is to be【S8】______on from one generation to the next generation, inheritance and the production of legitimate heirs are a prime concern in marriage. In some cultures, marriage【S9】______connects two strange families in a complicated set of property exchanges, which involve land, labor, and other【S10】______. However, in contemporary industrialized societies, marriage functions less as a social institution and more as a some of intimacy for the individuals involved.

A) lasting           B) passed             C) rights             D) freedom
E) resources         F) shelter            G) dominated          H) elderly
I) formally          J) attractive         K) certified          L) continually
M) contract          N) amazingly          O) closely
【S2】
选项
答案I
解析 此处需要一个副词来修饰unite这个谓语动词。从意思上看选择formally是最贴切的。这句话说的是“婚姻关系从结婚典礼开始，这一仪式使婚姻双方正式结合在一起。”如果在formally与closely两词中无法选择，可以在做完55题后再做本题，答案就很清晰了。
