问题     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.
【C10】
选项 A、sounding
B、avoiding
C、expecting
D、voicing
答案D
解析 本填空涉及分词，分词也表达动作，我们首先关注其宾语：disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable(对他们认为不合适的人的反对)；再分析本填空所在句子的原文信息：父母可以影响子女的选择(they can usually influence choices)，后面则表达的是通过做什么来影响。理解了这一点，又分析了本填空的宾语，这个动词就好选择了。首先排除B)avoiding(避免)；而C)expecting表示“期望”，不能很好地表达本句的意思；分析选项A)sounding，该动词主要作不及物动词，表示“发音、听起来”，而D)voicing是典型的及物动词，表示“说出、讲出来”，与本填空的宾语最为搭配，而且意思符合本句的意思，所以答案为选项D)voicing。
