  1. 1第 1 题

    • A. as well as
    • B. by way of
    • C. on behalf of
    • D. with regard to

    答案A

    解析原文“not only his parents and his friends, __ those of the young woman”构成 not only … as well as 的并列,把男方亲友与女方亲友一并纳入择偶圈。A 表“以及、也”,衔接自然。B 表途径、C 表代表、D 表关于,均无法连接两类人。

  2. 2第 2 题

    • A. adapt to
    • B. provide for
    • C. compete with
    • D. decide on

    答案D

    解析空格后为“a likely spouse on his own”,意为男子可自行选定对象。decide on 表示“选定、敲定”,与后文再请父母谈婚完全吻合。adapt to 适应、provide for 供养、compete with 竞争,语义均与择偶无关。

  3. 3第 3 题

    • A. renew
    • B. close
    • C. arrange
    • D. postpone

    答案C

    解析男子自己看中后,请父母“the marriage negotiations”。arrange 可与 negotiations 搭配,表示安排、操办婚事谈判。renew 续约、close 结束、postpone 推迟,皆不符“启动商谈”这一环节。

  4. 4第 4 题

    • A. In theory
    • B. In time
    • C. Above all
    • D. For example

    答案A

    解析前文写父母可代选、孩子几乎无发言权,后文却说女孩可以否决,前后对照的是原则与现实。In theory 点出“理论上仍可否决”。In time 及时、Above all 首要、For example 举例,均不能标示这种让步对照。

  5. 5第 5 题

    • A. Although
    • B. Lest
    • C. After
    • D. Unless

    答案C

    解析“a spouse has been selected”之后才“each family investigates”。After 表时间先后,选定对象再互相调查门第。Although 让步、Lest 以免、Unless 除非,逻辑均与调查发生的时序不符。

  6. 6第 6 题

    • A. within
    • B. into
    • C. from
    • D. through

    答案B

    解析marry into a family 为固定说法,指嫁入、娶入某家。into 强调进入对方家族。within 内部、from 来自、through 经由,都不能表达“结亲进入某家族”。

  7. 7第 7 题

    • A. since
    • B. or
    • C. so
    • D. but

    答案D

    解析原先婚礼持续三天,1980 年代则多为一天半,前后形成转折。but 连接昔今对比。since 因果、or 选择、so 结果,均无法体现“从前……而后来……”的对照。

  8. 8第 8 题

    • A. test
    • B. recite
    • C. copy
    • D. create

    答案B

    解析僧侣先讲短经,再“prayers of blessing”。recite 指诵读经文、祝祷,与宗教仪式匹配。test 检验、copy 抄写、create 创造,均非僧侣在婚礼上的典型动作。

  9. 9第 9 题

    • A. folding
    • B. piling
    • C. wrapping
    • D. tying

    答案D

    解析仪式包括把浸过圣水的棉线绕在新人腕上。tying … around the wrists 即系、缠绕。folding 折叠、piling 堆叠、wrapping 包裹,都不能准确描写“绕腕系线”。

  10. 10第 10 题

    • A. passing
    • B. lighting
    • C. hiding
    • D. serving

    答案A

    解析把蜡烛在一圈幸福受尊敬的夫妇间传递以祝福。passing a candle around 即传递。lighting 点燃、hiding 藏、serving 端上,均与“绕圈传递”这一动作不符。

  11. 11第 11 题

    • A. association
    • B. meeting
    • C. collection
    • D. union

    答案D

    解析祝福的对象是即将结合的新婚双方。union 可指婚姻结合。association 协会、meeting 会议、collection 收集,语义均偏离婚礼所祝福的“结合”。

  12. 12第 12 题

    • A. grow
    • B. part
    • C. live
    • D. deal

    答案C

    解析新婚传统上住进女方父母家,并“with them up to a year”。live with 表示同住。grow 成长、part 分离、deal 打交道,都不能表示共同居住。

  13. 13第 13 题

    • A. whereas
    • B. until
    • C. for
    • D. if

    答案B

    解析同住最多一年,“they can build a new house nearby”。until 表持续到能够另建新居为止。whereas 对比、for 因为、if 如果,均无法标示时间终点。

  14. 14第 14 题

    • A. follow
    • B. obtain
    • C. challenge
    • D. avoid

    答案B

    解析离婚合法且“easy to __”,后文又说并不常见。obtain 表示办成、获准离婚。follow 遵循、challenge 挑战、avoid 避免,与“容易办成”语义相反或无关。

  15. 15第 15 题

    • A. isolated
    • B. persuaded
    • C. viewed
    • D. exposed

    答案C

    解析离婚者会“with some disapproval”,即被人带着非议看待。viewed with 为常见搭配。isolated 隔离、persuaded 说服、exposed 暴露,都不能接 with disapproval 表示社会评价。

  16. 16第 16 题

    • A. whatever
    • B. however
    • C. whenever
    • D. wherever

    答案A

    解析各自保留“property he or she __ into the marriage”。whatever 作定语,指无论何种婚前财产。however 表方式、whenever 时间、wherever 地点,均不能修饰 property。

  17. 17第 17 题

    • A. changed
    • B. brought
    • C. shaped
    • D. pushed

    答案B

    解析财产是“into the marriage”带进婚姻的。brought 表示带入。changed 改变、shaped 塑造、pushed 推入,均不能描写婚前财产的带入。

  18. 18第 18 题

    • A. withdrawn
    • B. invested
    • C. donated
    • D. divided

    答案D

    解析共同财产被“equally”。divided equally 即平分。withdrawn 撤回、invested 投资、donated 捐赠,均与分割共同财产无关。

  19. 19第 19 题

    • A. clears
    • B. shows
    • C. warms
    • D. breaks

    答案B

    解析性别偏见“up”:男方可立即再婚、女须等待。shows up 表示显现、暴露。clears up 澄清、warms up 热身、breaks up 破裂,均不能表示偏见显现。

  20. 20第 20 题

    • A. while
    • B. once
    • C. so that
    • D. in that

    答案A

    解析男无等待期,“the woman must wait ten months”,对比男女差异。while 表对照。once 一旦、so that 以便、in that 因为,都不能连接这种性别待遇上的对照。
