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.
【C4】
选项 A、dating
B、appointment
C、engagement
D、matching
答案A
解析 本填空考查名词，根据无关词排除法，即把握主线就可以迅速定位答案。本文主题是谈论婚姻，仅凭此主题，四个选项A)dating(约会)、B)appointment(任命)、C)engagement(遭遇，约定，订婚)和D)matching(匹配，比赛)中，很显然选项B)appointment与D)matching离题最远，可以排除。另外两个选项，我们根据本句的详细信息再进行一次定位。本句的原文信息为：Teenagers begin ________ in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social________．根据本句中的关键线索find mates(找到伴侣)就可以判断本题答案为选项A)dating(约会)，因为此时还远未到选项C)engagement(订婚)的程度，因此选项A)dating为最佳答案。
