问题      The horse and carriage is a thing of the past, but love and marriage are still with us and still closely interrelated. Most American marriages, particularly first marriages【1】young couples, are the result of mutual attraction and affection【2】than practical considerations. In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children. Teenagers begin【3】in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social contacts. Though young people feel free to choose their friends from【4】groups, most choose a mate of similar background. This is due in part to parental guidance. Parents cannot select spouses for their children, but they can usually【5】choices by voicing disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable.
    【6】, marriages between members of different groups (interclass, interfaith, and interracial marriages) are increasing, probably because of the greater【7】of today’s youth and the fact that they are restricted by fewer prejudices than their parents. Many young people leave their home towns to attend colleges,【8】in the armed forces, or pursue a career in the bigger cities. Once away from home and family, they are more【9】to date and marry outside their own social group.
     In mobile American society, interclass marriages are neither rare nor shocking. Interfaith marriages are on 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【10】a family. Marriages between people of different national origin (but the same race and religion) have been commonplace here since colonial times.
选项 A、dating
B、appointment
C、engagement
D、matching
答案A
解析 本题测试近义动词。date意为“约会”；appointment意为“约会，约定”，通常构成have/make an appointment with somebody结构，意为“与某人约会”；engagement意为“婚约，订婚”；match意为“相配，结婚”。本句话并不是have/make an appointment with somebody结构，所以选用B不对；根据后面的find mates(寻找伴侣)可知，所填之词表示的意思应该在“寻找伴侣”之前，而C、D表示的意思是在“寻找伴侣”之后，所以选用C、D不对。应该选用date。
