问题     The family is the center of most traditional Asians’ lives. Many people worry about their families’ welfare, reputation, and honor. Asian families are often【C1】________, including several generations related by【C2】________or marriage living in the same home. An Asian person’s misdeeds are not blamed just on the individual but also on the family—including the dead【C3】________ .
    Traditional Chinese, among many other Asians, respect their elders and feel a deep sense of duty【C4】________them. Children repay their parents’【C5】________by being successful and supporting them in old age. This is accepted as a【C6】________part of life in China.【C7】________, taking care of the aged parents is often viewed as a tremendous【C8】________in the United States, where aging and family support are not【C9】________highly.【C10】________, in the youth-oriented United States, growing old is seen as a bad thing and many old people do not receive respect.
    Pilipinos, the most Americanized of the Asians, are【C11】________extremely family-oriented. They are【C12】________to helping their children and will sacrifice greatly for their children to get an education.【C13】________, the children are devoted to their parents, who often live nearby. Grown children who leave the country for economic reasons【C14】________ send large parts of their income home to their parents.
    The Vietnamese family【C15】________people currently【C16】________as well as the spirits of the dead and of the as-yet unborn. Any【C17】________or actions are done from family considerations, not individual desires. People’s behavior is judged【C18】________whether it brings shame or pride to the family. The Vietnamese do not particularly believe in self-reliance; in this way, they are the【C19】________of people in the United States. Many Vietnamese think that their actions in this life will influence their【C20】________ in the next life.
【C1】
选项 A、enlarged
B、extended
C、expanded
D、lengthened
答案B
解析 本填空需选择一个动词。首先应该填入的动词的意思可以根据后面分词结构确定。很容易定位出该动词需要表达的是亚洲的家庭是扩展、扩大之类的意思。但关键是确定最为准确的一个选项。A)enlarged是把体积小的东西放大，而D)lengthened更多是指时间或长度上的拉长，此处均不合适。因此主要在两个选项B)extended(扩展，延伸)和C)expanded(放大，扩大范围)之间选择。分词结构“including several generations related by ________or marriage living in the same home”提到了several generations(几代人)的概念，很明显是在说家庭的概念在扩展、延伸，所以答案应该为选项B)extended。选项C)expanded更多地表示范围上的扩大，如果选择了这个选项，其表达的意思应该为家庭范围的扩大，即家庭还要包括非直系亲属之类的意思，这就与后文不符了。
