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.
【C6】
选项 A、certain
B、embarrassed
C、hesitated
D、free
答案D
解析 本填空受上下文逻辑关系的制约，通过原文的已知线索词Though可以确定上下文为让步逻辑关系，根据下文的已知信息most choose a mate of similar background(大多数人还是选择背景相似的伴侣)，利用后句推测前句，前句应该是涉及选择伴侣的问题，而且根据让步关系，再结合四个选项，其意思应该是说“尽管年轻人从……群体中选择朋友是自由的”，选项D)free的意思最贴切，其他的选项A)certain(确定的)、B)embarrassed(尴尬的)和C)hesitated(犹豫的)的意思均无法表达出上下文的让步关系。
