　　1. [A] by way of [B] on behalf of [C] as well as [D] with regard to

　　[标准答案] [C] as well as

　　[考点分析] 逻辑关系

　　[选项分析] 因为考查逻辑关系，所以需要我们先对填空前后的原文信息做定位分析：空格处身处大环境not only…but also之中，这是一个明显的并列关系，表示“不仅……而且……”，该空后面的those指代前文出现的“parents and friends”，显然“the young man”与“the young woman”为并列关系，表示“与他本人以及伴侣的父母朋友相关”，所以答案只能是[C]项as well as 也，又。[A]项by way of 通过，[D]项with regard to 关于，[B]项on behalf of 代表。

　　2. [A] adapt to [B] provide for [C] compete with [D] decide on

　　[标准答案] [D] decide on

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义

　　[选项分析] 根据该句的主语a young man与宾语a likely spouse的关系，答案只能是[D]项decide on“决定”，表示自己决定自己的配偶。[B]项provide for为……提供准备……，provide为及物动词，直接跟宾语，不需要加介词;[C]项compete with“与……竞争”，[A]项adapt to“适用”。

　　3. [A] close [B] remew [C] arrange [D] postpone

　　[标准答案] [C] arrange

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词辨析

　　[选项分析] 该句意思为：他可以自己选择自己中意的伴侣并让父母_____婚姻谈判。四个选项中，[A]项close 关闭;[B]项renew 更新，恢复;[D]项postpone 推迟;这三项语义不正确，只有[C]项arrange“安排”符合语境。

　　4. [A] Above all [B] In theory [C] In time [D] For example

　　[标准答案] [B] In theory

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义

　　[选项分析] 逻辑判断题主要是看前后两句的含义，前面说“他可以自己选择自己中意的伴侣并让父母安排婚姻谈判，或者完全由父母选择对象，不给孩子选择的机会。”空格后面说“女方可以否决她父母所选择的对象。”这两句之间显然是相反的关系，且有一个may，更证明[B]项In theory“理论上说”的正确性，而其他选项[A]项Above all最重要的是，[C]项In time 准时，[D]项For example举例，均不符合题意。

　　5. [A] Although [B] Lest [C] After [D] Unless

　　[标准答案] [C] After

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义

　　[选项分析] 根据下文“______a spouse has been selected, each family investigates the other…”可知，只有对象选择好后，父母才会去调查对方，显然表达的是时间先后顺序，所以只有after才对。其他选项[A]项Although 尽管， [B]项Lest 以免，唯恐，[D]Unless 除非，否则都不符合题意。

　　6. [A] into [B] within [C] from [D] through

　　[标准答案] [A] into

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及介词辨析

　　[选项分析] 这里主要是看marry与相关介词的固定搭配及句意理解。这里marry into就是指“通过婚姻得到[成为]……的一员”，而其他选项均没有这层含义。

　　7. [A] since [B] or [C] but [D] so

　　[标准答案] [C] but

　　[考点分析] 逻辑关系

　　[选项分析] 根据上文“以前婚礼会持续三天”，出处句子意为“到了20世纪80年代，婚礼只持续一天半”，显然与前文发生转变，为对比关系，因此选择[C]项but 但是。

　　8. [A] copy [B] test [C] recite [D] create

　　[标准答案] [C] recite

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词辨析

　　[选项分析] 空格处需要填一个动词，和后面的prayers of blessing所搭配，[C]项recite 有“吟诵、朗诵”的意思，与所给短语搭配最为合理，译为“吟诵祝福的祈祷文”。

　　9. [A] folding [B] piling [C] wrapping [D] tying

　　[标准答案] [D] tying

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词辨析

　　[选项分析] 本题需要根据上下文语义分析，空格处需要搭配后文“棉线”，纵观四个选项[A]项 折叠，[B]项 堆积，[C]项 包裹，[D]项 系上，根据后文的“around the bride’s and groom’s wrists 在新郎和新娘的腰间”，只有[D]项“将在圣水中浸过的棉线系在新郎和新娘的腰间”符合句意。

　　10. [A] passing [B] lighting [C] hiding [D] serving

　　[标准答案] [A] passing

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词辨析

　　[选项分析] 原文空格需要填写一个动词与后文“around a circle”来搭配，译为“将蜡烛传一圈”，故[A]项“传递”为正确选项。[B]项 点亮，[C]项 隐藏，[D]项 服务。

　　11. [A] meeting [B] collection [C] association [D] union

　　[标准答案] [D] union

　　[考点分析] 名词辨析

　　[选项分析] 本句语义为“将蜡烛绕着幸福完婚和受人尊敬的夫妻传递一圈来祝福 ”，[D]项 结合，引申为“婚姻”之意;根据语境，[D]项正确。

　　12. [A] grow [B] part [C] deal [D] live

　　[标准答案] [D] live

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词辨析

　　[选项分析] 本题比较简单。根据语义“根据传统，新婚夫妇要搬到妻子父母家，与父母____一年”，[D]项“生活”为最佳答案。[C]项 交易，[B]项 分开，[A]项 成长。

　　13. [A] whereas [B] until [C] if [D] for

　　[标准答案] [B] until

　　[考点分析] 时间逻辑关系

　　[选项分析] 本句意为“_____他们在附近建造一栋新房子”，[A]项 然而，[B]项 直到，[D]项因为，[C]项 如果，结合前文“新婚夫妇根据传统要和女方家人生活一年”，前后存在一定的时间关系，[B]项“直到”最符合原文语境，搭配最为合理。

　　14. [A] avoid [B] follow [C] challenge [D] obtain

　　[标准答案] [D] obtain

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词辨析

　　[选项分析] Divorce is legal and relatively easy to __14__, but not common. 该句句意为“离婚是合法的，且相对容易____。”[A]项avoid避免，[B]项follow跟随，[C]项challenge挑战，质疑，[D]项obtain获得，实现。根据关键词“legal”可知这里表达的是正面的意思，再根据句意选择[D]项。

　　15. [A] isolated [B] persuaded [C] viewed [D] exposed

　　[标准答案] [C] viewed

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词辨析

　　[选项分析] Divorced persons are __15__ with some disapproval. 离婚的人 一些不认可。本段第一句提到“离婚是合法的且相对容易得到批准，但是不常见。”这句其实是在说明离婚并不常见的原因，[A]项isolated孤立，[B]项persuaded劝说，[C]项viewed看待，[D]项exposed接触，受到……的影响，[C]项最符合句意。

　　16. [A] whereever [B] whatever [C] whenever [D] however

　　[标准答案] [B] whatever

　　[考点分析] 关系代词辨析

　　[选项分析] Each spouse retains ___16___ property he or she __17__ into the marriage. 17小题四个选项都是动词，所以该句意思为：夫妇双方保有财产，这个财产是他或她进婚姻的。结合[A]项 whereever“无论何地;任何(地方)=any place where(定从)”;[B]项 whatever“无论什么;任何(东西)=anything that/any+N that”;[C]项 whenever无论何时;任何时间=any time when;[D]项 however无论如何;无论多么。根据语义，这里应该不是让步的关系，而且填的这个词还要能修饰property。因此，选择[B]项，等于retains any property that he or she……。

　　17. [A] changed [B] brought [C] shaped [D] pushed

　　[标准答案] [B] brought

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词义辨析

　　[选项分析] Each spouse retains ___16___ property he or she __17__ into the marriage，结合[A]项 changed“改变”，[B]项 brought “带来”，[C]项 shaped“形成”，[D]项 pushed“推，逼迫”。结合语境只有[B]项符合句意，意为“把财产带入婚姻”。

　　18. [A] invested [B] divided [C] donated [D] withdrawn

　　[标准答案] [B] divided

　　[考点分析] 上下文语义及动词义辨析

　　[选项分析] ...and jointly-acquired property is __18__ equally. 结合[A]项invested投资;[B]项divided分配;分开;[C]项donated 捐赠;[D]项withdrawn撤出，提取。根据语义应该是共同财产被(夫妻双方)平分，因此选择[B]项。

　　19. [A] warms [B] clears [C] shows [D] breaks

　　[标准答案] [C] shows

　　[考点分析] 动词固定搭配

　　[选项分析] Divorced persons may remarry, but a gender prejudice __19__up. 该句语义为离过婚的人或许会再婚，但是性别偏见 。[A]项warm up加热，热身;[B]项clear up(天气)变晴，收拾，消除;[C]项show up显现;[D]项break up分裂，分开;根据句意，选择[C]项。

　　20. [A] while [B] so that [C] once [D] in that

　　[标准答案] [A] while

　　[选项分析] 上下文语义

　　[考点分析] 本句句意为：离婚的男性再婚不需要等待期，女性必须等十个月。显然前后两句存在转折关系，只有[A]项while“然而”能够表达这个意思。
