问题     Interracial marriages and relationships have become increasingly accepted and encouraged by society. Since the 1967 legalization of interracial marriage, the number of mixed race marriages has more or less doubled with each passing decade. There are currently over 1. 6 million interracial marriages in the United States and that figure is forecasted to continue rising. For the most part, relationships between races are no different than the interactions between people of the same race. 【B6】______
    Over 70% of American society has no problem with mixed race relationships, thus proving that people are starting to overcome racial stereotypes. Over 40 % of Americans have already dated someone of another ethnicity and are pioneering a revolution in the dating scene. Many high school and college students are dating interracially; which is helping to increase awareness of mixed race relationships. 【B7】______Secret mixed race romances often occur because the parents are strict and forbid or discourage dating outside of one’s culture. Parents are often the perpetrators of stereotypes and racism. Many parents force their children to date within their culture, in order to avoid betraying their own cultural roots.
    【B8】______Some couples choose to avoid cultural tradition altogether, some choose to have two separate weddings in order to celebrate both traditions properly, and some try to compromise by combining cultural customs and creating their own. 【B9】______Including the families in the decision making process is a great way to keep everyone communicating and feeling happy.
    【B10】______It is important to talk about where holidays will take place and which traditions they will choose to celebrate. Many couples choose to worship either separately or they will find a different faith that suits them both. Issues concerning children, and how they will be raised both in faith and cultural are also major concerns for mixed race parents. The mixed race children should also be taught how to deal with racism.
A. Successful relationships often result in marriage, and the wedding plans themselves can be a major struggle.
B. Once married, mixed race couples face more decisions concerning holiday traditions, religious worship and children.
C. While there are many issues faced by those in interracial relationships, the friendships and romances are often worthwhile and fulfilling.
D. There are, however, certain issues such as faith, cultural traditions and racism that can cause tension and discomfort in the relationship.
E. Unfortunately, many of these relationships go unnoticed because the couples feel that either friends or family will not approve.
F. When preparing for interracial weddings, many of the parents feel that their cultural traditions are being denied and can cause problems.
【B7】
选项
答案E
解析 第二段是在介绍不同种族的人婚前的交往情况。因此空格处句子应该介绍不同种族的人交往时的情况。这样就可以确定答案是在C、D、E三个选项中。空格后一句子的意思是“秘密的混种爱情故事经常发生，因为父母禁止或不鼓励孩子与自己文化不同的人约会”。E选项的内容与此句联系最为紧密，因此正确答案是E选项。
