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】______.

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%).

" 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【C18】______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】______.

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。
