问题     People who describe them. themselves as perfectionists may do well on job interviews, but new study findings  suggest that they may struggle in marriage and other intimate relationships.
    Previous research has shown that certain personality traits can affect a couple’s ability to【S1】______to marriage. In this study ,a team of Canadian researchers report that a partner’s perfectionism greatly influences  their and their mate’s adjustment to marriage.
    "Thus, perfectionism may be worth considering in the【S2】______of marital and family therapy," write Dr. Paul L. Hewitt of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and his colleagues.
    Their study involved  76  couples who were married or had been living together for no more than four years. Perfectionism was【S3】______by the extent to which the men and women agreed with statements  such as," When I am working on something, I cannot relax until it is perfect."
    Overall, men and women who【S4】______their partners as perfectionists--meaning they felt that their mates demanded perfection from them--tended to report greater use of sarcasm(讽刺),nagging(唠叨)and other conflict-driven strategies to【S5】______with their marital problems, study findings indicate.
    And when men used these【S6】______strategies, both they and their wives【S7】______marital adjustment— including their satisfaction with the marriage and the quality of their marital intimacy--lower than did their peers.
    "This suggests individuals’ personality traits may【S8】______not only their own experience of the marriage, but the experience of their partner as well, "Hewitt and his colleagues write.
    What’s more, women, but not men, who expected perfection from their mates also seemed unhappy with the relationship, study findings indicate. They reported poorer marital functioning than did women who did not have such high demands of their partners.
    "This finding may suggest that women who expect perfection from their【S9】______may be especially  likely to be dissatisfied, because their spouses will【S10】______fail to meet these expectations," the researchers  speculate.

选项
答案K
解析 contest，combat 和 conflict 是近义词，需要进一步辨析其差异。contest意为“争论，竞赛”，combat意为“战斗，格斗”，conflict 意为“斗争，冲突”。原文的含义是相互有争议的策略。所以应该选择conflict。
