Marriage, and its many ups and downs, still often【C1】______the headlines on newspapers, magazines and the airwaves. Nearly 23m Americans watched Prince William being joined in holy marriage to Kate Middleton. Millions more have【C2】______in the break-up of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s marriage after revelations that he fathered a son with a maid.
Less【C3】______are revelations about the sorry state of marriage across the United States. Data from the Census Bureau show that married couples, for the first time, now make up【C4】______than half (45%) of all households.
The【C5】______American family, with mom, dad and kids under one roof, is【C6】______. In every state the numbers of unmarried couples, childless households and single-person households are growing faster than【C7】______comprised of married people with children, finds the 2010【C8】______. The latter accounted【C9】______43% of households in 1950, but now just 20%. And the trend has a distinct【C10】______dimension. Traditional marriage has【C11】______from a universal rite to a luxury for the educated and the【C12】______.
There【C13】______was a marriage gap in 1960: only four percentage points separated the wedded ways of college and high-school graduates (76% versus 72%). The gap has since【C14】______to 16 percentage points, according to the Pew Research Centre. A Census Bureau analysis released this spring found that brides are significantly more【C15】______to have a college degree than they were in the mid-1990s.
"Marriage has become much more【C16】______, and that’s why the divorce rate has come down," said Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The project found that divorce rates for couples with college degrees are only a third as high as for those with a high-school degree.
"Less marriage means less income and more poverty," reckons Isabel Sawhill, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. She and other researchers have【C17】______as much as half of the inequality of wealth 18 in America to changes in family【C19】______: single-parent families (mostly those with a high-school degree or less) are getting poorer while married couples (with educations and dual incomes) are increasingly【C20】______. "This is a striking gap that is not well understood by the public," she says.

选项
A、sensitive
B、sentimental
C、sensational
D、sensible
答案
C
解析
本题主要考查对选项中几个形近词的辨析。[A]选项sensitive表示“敏感的”。[B]选项sentimental表示“多愁善感的”。[C]选项sensational表示“轰动的”。[D]选项sensible表示“理智的,明智的”。第一段中作者列举了两个名人婚姻的例子说明了现在大众仍然对婚姻话题津津乐道。第二段不再关注名人的婚姻,而是通过数据讲述普通老百姓的婚姻,因此空格处填[C]选项sensational比较恰当。
