The horse and carriage is thing of the past, but love and marriage is still with us and still closely interrelated. Most American marriages, particularly first marriages【C1】________young couples are the result of【C2】________ attraction and affection【C3】________ than practical considerations.
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. Parents cannot select spouses for their children, but they can usually【C9】________ choices by【C10】________ disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable.
【C11】________, marriages between members of different groups (interclass, interfaith, and interracial marriages) are increasing, probably because of the greater【C12】________of today’s youth and the fact that they are restricted by【C13】________prejudice than their parents. Many young people leave their home towns to attend college,【C14】________in the armed forces,【C15】________pursue a career in a bigger city. Once away from home and family, they are more【C16】________to date and marry outside their own social group. In mobile American society, interclass marriages are neither【C17】________nor shocking. Interfaith marriages are【C18】________the rise particularly between Protestants and Catholics. On the other hand, interracial marriage is still very uncommon. It can be difficult for interracial couples to find a place to live, maintain friendships, and【C19】________a family. Marriages between people of different national【C20】________(but the same race and religion) have been commonplace here since colonial times.
【C13】
选项
A、less
B、rather
C、fewer
D、many
答案
A
解析
本填空考查比较结构,而且本句也是继续对前文进行解释,说明为什么不同群体间的婚姻正在增加。本填空所涉及的关键线索词为prejudice than their parents,这是明显的比较结构。prejudice表示“偏见”,是个不可数名词,而且本填空在这里表示的是程度上的比较,而非数量上的比较,即:今天的年轻人比他们的父母更少受到偏见的束缚(这里的更少是指程度上更少,不是说受到更少数量的偏见的约束),因此答案为选项A)less,而非C)fewer(表示数量,而且修饰可数名词)。选项B)rather (than)表示“不是……而是”,而本填空两边的原文信息根本不是对等事物,选项D)many更不对。
