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
【S3】
选项
答案M
解析 本题有一定难度。由于出现在介词后面，所以填的肯定是名词。此外，这个名词有后置定语“被写下来或是被传统规定的”，在五个名词中contract和rights可以与这样的定语搭配。再看修饰这个名词的定语从句，它的谓语动词defines用了第三人称单数，可见这个名词肯定是单数的，所以本题选择contract。
