    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.

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】______prejudices 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.

【C7】
选项 A、similar
B、identical
C、diverse
D、differential
答案C
解析 A项“similar”表示“相似的，类似的”；B项“identical”表示“同一的，同样的”；C项“diverse”表示“不同的，变化多的”；D项“differential”表示“有差别的，有区别的”。根据句子中“though”可知，后面的句子表转折，所填的词修饰的是“groups”，通过整个句子来看，选用“diverse”符合文意。所以应该选C。
