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.
【C3】
选项 A、more
B、less
C、rather
D、other
答案C
解析 本填空考查一个起连接作用的短语，首先定位分析填空两边的原文信息，本填空两边的原文线索明显是对立、相反的，并且根据本文的中心主线，可知前边的线索支持主线，而后面的线索与主线相反，因此最佳答案应该为C)rather。rather than表达的就是选前不选后。A)more是干扰项，more than是前面超过后面的意思，似乎也差不多，但完形是选最佳选项，即最正确的、最符合原文意思和主线的选项，显然C)rather (than)优于A)more(than)。其他选项D)other(than)(除了)和B)less(than)(少于)意思均不符合。
