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

　　[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] as well as

　　[考點(diǎn)分析] 邏輯關(guān)系

　　[選項(xiàng)分析] 因?yàn)榭疾檫壿嬯P(guān)系，所以需要我們先對(duì)填空前后的原文信息做定位分析：空格處身處大環(huán)境not only…but also之中，這是一個(gè)明顯的并列關(guān)系，表示“不僅……而且……”，該空后面的those指代前文出現(xiàn)的“parents and friends”，顯然“the young man”與“the young woman”為并列關(guān)系，表示“與他本人以及伴侶的父母朋友相關(guān)”，所以答案只能是[C]項(xiàng)as well as 也，又。[A]項(xiàng)by way of 通過，[D]項(xiàng)with regard to 關(guān)于，[B]項(xiàng)on behalf of 代表。

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

　　[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [D] decide on

　　[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義

　　[選項(xiàng)分析] 根據(jù)該句的主語(yǔ)a young man與賓語(yǔ)a likely spouse的關(guān)系，答案只能是[D]項(xiàng)decide on“決定”，表示自己決定自己的配偶。[B]項(xiàng)provide for為……提供準(zhǔn)備……，provide為及物動(dòng)詞，直接跟賓語(yǔ)，不需要加介詞；[C]項(xiàng)compete with“與……競(jìng)爭(zhēng)”，[A]項(xiàng)adapt to“適用”。

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

　　[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] arrange

　　[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析

　　[選項(xiàng)分析] 該句意思為：他可以自己選擇自己中意的伴侶并讓父母_____婚姻談判。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，[A]項(xiàng)close 關(guān)閉；[B]項(xiàng)renew 更新，恢復(fù)；[D]項(xiàng)postpone 推遲；這三項(xiàng)語(yǔ)義不正確，只有[C]項(xiàng)arrange“安排”符合語(yǔ)境。

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

　　[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [B] In theory

　　[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義

　　[選項(xiàng)分析] 邏輯判斷題主要是看前后兩句的含義，前面說“他可以自己選擇自己中意的伴侶并讓父母安排婚姻談判，或者完全由父母選擇對(duì)象，不給孩子選擇的機(jī)會(huì)。”空格后面說“女方可以否決她父母所選擇的對(duì)象。”這兩句之間顯然是相反的關(guān)系，且有一個(gè)may，更證明[B]項(xiàng)In theory“理論上說”的正確性，而其他選項(xiàng)[A]項(xiàng)Above all最重要的是，[C]項(xiàng)In time 準(zhǔn)時(shí)，[D]項(xiàng)For example舉例，均不符合題意。

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

　　[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] After

　　[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義

　　[選項(xiàng)分析] 根據(jù)下文“______a spouse has been selected, each family investigates the other…”可知，只有對(duì)象選擇好后，父母才會(huì)去調(diào)查對(duì)方，顯然表達(dá)的是時(shí)間先后順序，所以只有after才對(duì)。其他選項(xiàng)[A]項(xiàng)Although 盡管， [B]項(xiàng)Lest 以免，唯恐，[D]Unless 除非，否則都不符合題意。

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

　　[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [A] into

　　[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及介詞辨析

　　[選項(xiàng)分析] 這里主要是看marry與相關(guān)介詞的固定搭配及句意理解。這里marry into就是指“通過婚姻得到[成為]……的一員”，而其他選項(xiàng)均沒有這層含義。

　　7. [A] since [B] or [C] but [D] so

　　[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] but

　　[考點(diǎn)分析] 邏輯關(guān)系

　　[選項(xiàng)分析] 根據(jù)上文“以前婚禮會(huì)持續(xù)三天”，出處句子意為“到了20世紀(jì)80年代，婚禮只持續(xù)一天半”，顯然與前文發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變，為對(duì)比關(guān)系，因此選擇[C]項(xiàng)but 但是。

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

　　[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [C] recite

　　[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析

　　[選項(xiàng)分析] 空格處需要填一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，和后面的prayers of blessing所搭配，[C]項(xiàng)recite 有“吟誦、朗誦”的意思，與所給短語(yǔ)搭配最為合理，譯為“吟誦祝福的祈禱文”。

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

　　[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [D] tying

　　[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析

　　[選項(xiàng)分析] 本題需要根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)義分析，空格處需要搭配后文“棉線”，縱觀四個(gè)選項(xiàng)[A]項(xiàng) 折疊，[B]項(xiàng) 堆積，[C]項(xiàng) 包裹，[D]項(xiàng) 系上，根據(jù)后文的“around the bride’s and groom’s wrists 在新郎和新娘的腰間”，只有[D]項(xiàng)“將在圣水中浸過的棉線系在新郎和新娘的腰間”符合句意。

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

　　[標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案] [A] passing

　　[考點(diǎn)分析] 上下文語(yǔ)義及動(dòng)詞辨析

　　[選項(xiàng)分析] 原文空格需要填寫一個(gè)動(dòng)詞與后文“around a circle”來搭配，譯為“將蠟燭傳一圈”，故[A]項(xiàng)“傳遞”為正確選項(xiàng)。[B]項(xiàng) 點(diǎn)亮，[C]項(xiàng) 隱藏，[D]項(xiàng) 服務(wù)。
