    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.

【C4】

选项 A、dating
B、appointment
C、engagement
D、matching

答案A

解析 本填空考查名词,根据无关词排除法,即把握主线就可以迅速定位答案。本文主题是谈论婚姻,仅凭此主题,四个选项A)dating(约会)、B)appointment(任命)、C)engagement(遭遇,约定,订婚)和D)matching(匹配,比赛)中,很显然选项B)appointment与D)matching离题最远,可以排除。另外两个选项,我们根据本句的详细信息再进行一次定位。本句的原文信息为:Teenagers begin ________ in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social________.根据本句中的关键线索find mates(找到伴侣)就可以判断本题答案为选项A)dating(约会),因为此时还远未到选项C)engagement(订婚)的程度,因此选项A)dating为最佳答案。
