    In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children. Teenagers begin【C4】______in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social【C5】______. Though young people feel【C6】______ to choose their friends from【C7】______groups, most choose a mate of similar background. This is【C8】______in part to parental guidance.

【C2】
选项 A、personal
B、unusual
C、emotional
D、magnetic
答案C
解析 考查形容词辨析。本句子的主语为Most American marriages(大多数美国人的婚姻)，空格处形容词修饰attraction and affection(吸引和爱慕)，句子的意思为“尤其是年轻人的初次婚姻依然是______吸引和爱慕的结果”，而且句子中有相对应的成分：practical。因此C．emotional“情感的”符合句意，为正确选项。personal“个人的”；unusual“不常见的，罕见的”；magnetic“磁石的”，均不符合题意。
