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.
【C7】
选项 A、similar
B、identical
C、differential
D、diverse
答案D
解析 本填空考查形容词，同样也受上下文逻辑关系的制约。可运用对应成分分析法迅速定位本填空在原文中可参照的已知线索。通过原文的已知线索词Though可以确定为让步逻辑关系，本填空与下文中的一个已知线索词similar形成对应，并且两者之间是让步关系，根据这些参照线索，可首先排除四个选项中A)similar(类似的)和B)identical(相同的)。选项C)differential 表示“差异的、区别的”，选项D)diverse表示“多种多样的”，其实作者此处不是强调“在差异的、区别的群体中找伴侣”，而是强调“在多样化的群体中找伴侣”，因此选项D)diverse比选项C)differential更为准确。
