1、【答案】B as well as

【解析】根据空格所在句子的内容可以判断，“择偶涉及男方的亲朋好友，_____女方的亲朋好友”显然前后是并列关系，选项中只有B选项as well as 表示并列关系。其他选项意思与原文内容不符。

2、【答案】D decide on

【解析】根据选项得知空格处需要填谓语动词，空格后面的宾语是“…配偶”，所以根据动宾搭配的原则，D选项 decide on可以与后面的宾语，构成通顺语义：选择配偶。所以D项正确。

3、【答案】C arrange

【解析】此题考查的仍是动宾搭配，空格处后面的内容the marriage negotiation，只能与选项C arrange构成通顺语义，“安排…磋商”，故选C。

4、【答案】A In theory

【解析】根据空格后面的内容，得知女孩可能会否定她的父母为其所选的配偶;句中的may 表示的是一种可能性。所以，与原文句子内容表达一致的，只有A选项 in theory。

5、【答案】C after

【解析】空格处所在的句子是现在完成时，逗号后面的内容是一般现在时，所以根据时态判断，前后内容存在时间上的先后性，所以C选项after正确。

6、【答案】A into

【解析】原文：each family investigates the other to make sure its child is marrying _______ a good family. 每个家庭调查另一个家庭，确保孩子娶或嫁到一个好家庭。此处需要填入一个介词，嫁入另一个家庭，介词选择into最合适。故选A。

7、【答案】C but

【解析】若要判断此空的答案，需要看到前后文的具体含义和逻辑关系。空格上半句说：原来传统婚礼持续三天，后半句说：到20世纪80年代婚礼通常持续1天半，显然前后文形成了对比，故选C。

8、【答案】C recite

【解析】原文：Buddhist priests offer a short sermon and______ prayers of blessing.佛教神职人员提供一个简短的布道和__________祈祷祝福。四个选项中只有recite prayers为其固定搭配，意为“诵经”。故选C。

9、【答案】D tying

【解析】原文：________ cotton threads soaked in holy water around the bride’s and groom’s wrists, 把浸泡在圣水中的棉线______在新娘和新郎的手腕。A folding 折叠; B piling 堆积;C wrapping 包裹;以上三项均不符合文意，故选D项tying，绑，系。

10、【答案】B passing

【解析】原文： around a circle of happily married and respected couples to bless the union.在一圈婚姻幸福美满和德高望重的情侣中_________一根蜡烛来祝福他们。根据语境，A lighting，点亮，C hiding隐藏，D serving 服务;均不合适，只能选B passing 传递。故选B。

11、【答案】D union

【解析】该句讲到：围坐在新婚夫妇身边祝福他们的____. 根据语境可知应填入团聚的含义，四个选项中union可以表示团聚之意， 为正确答案meeting会议、会面，association联合、联盟，collection收集、集合，均不符合语境。

12、【答案】 D live

【解析】该句意思是：传统意义上讲新婚夫妇搬去新娘的父母家，并和他们______长达一年之久。前文讲到新婚夫妇搬去新娘的父母家，后文应保持一致性，“和他们生活在一起”故为答案live (with) 与……生活在一起，grow成长，part (with)表分离，反向干扰，deal (with) 处理、应对，不符合题意，故live为正确答案

13、【答案】 B until

【解析】该句意思是：新婚夫妇搬去新娘的父母家，并和他们______长达一年之久，______他们能够在附近建造新房。空格需要填入逻辑连接词，前后为时间先后关系，故代入until，语义合理，“直到他们造新房之前都住在新娘父母家”。前后文无转折，可排除whereas然而。for表原因，if表条件，代入均不合理。因此答案为until。

14、【答案】 A obtain

【解析】该句意思是：离婚是合法的并容易______，但并不普遍。填入词应与legal感情色彩一致，故排除avoid(避免)及challenge(挑战，质疑)，而follow(跟随)一词通常不与divorce搭配。选项obtain代入语境中，obtain a divorce可以表示获得离婚，搭配合理，语义通顺，为正确答案。

15、【答案】C viewed

【解析】该句意思是：人们______离婚的人是反对的。此处需填入动作，isolated隔离，persuaded劝说，viewed看待、视为，exposed暴露、揭露。代入文中viewed是最合理的，人们看待离婚的人持反对态度的。因此答案为viewed。

16、【答案】D whatever

【解析】此处空前有动词retain， 因此需要填入一个连词引导宾语从句， 并且与property搭配，共同充当从句中的宾语。因此排除A选项wherever“无论何地”和C选项whenever“无论何时”。B 选项“however”，作“但是”解，与句意不服， 作“无论多么”理解， 后面常跟形容词，而非名词。 而whatever 与property搭配，可以充当宾语从句的宾语，表示“一切财产”，因此选项D为正确答案。

17、【答案】B brought

【解析】此处需要填入一个动词，能和property 形成动宾搭配。A选项changed意为“改变”， B选项brought意为“带来”，C选项shaped意为“形成”，D选项pushed意为“推搡”。因此符合文意，能够和财产搭配的只能是选项B。

18、【答案】A divided

【解析】空格处是一个被动语态， 此处仍然需要填入一个与jointly-acquired property(共同获得的财产)形成动宾搭配的动词。A 选项divided“分割”，不B选项invested“投资”，C选项donated“捐赠”，D选项withdrawn“取钱;撤走资金”，均能和jointly-acquired property构成动宾搭配，但是此处的情境是讨论离婚时的行为， 因此A选项为正确选项。

19、【答案】C shows

【解析】此处考察固定词组。 A选项clear up意为“(天空)放晴;治疗;处理;解释”，B选项warm up意为“使变热;(使)更活跃”，C选项show up意为“显现，出现”，D选项break up意为“结束;使破碎”。后文提到离婚后，男士可以立即重婚， 而女士必须要等十个月，可知符合文意，并且能够和“性别歧视”搭配的只能是选项C。

20、【答案】A while

【解析】此处考察上下文的逻辑关系。上文指出，离婚男士在他再婚前没有一个等候期，空格后提到“女性必须要等待10个月”，显然，这二者之间不是因果关系，因此排除B选项 so that“所以”和D选项in that“因为”，也不是C选项once“一旦”所表达的条件关系，因此正确答案为A选项。
