27、系”。(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)A.intensely B.seriouslyC.effectivelyD.simultaneously解析:解析:上句讲婚姻和幸福、健康的关系,此处用了一般现在时,可看出是一个成熟的结论,也就是说得到了较深入的研究,intensely“强烈地”符合语义,故选 A。(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)A.easyB.difficult C.inevitableD.useful解析:解析:由 while 可知,本题所在的主句与 while 引导的从句为转折关系,因此空格处应填入一个形容词,使主从句构成转折关系,主句说“婚姻和幸福的得到了研究”,据此推测,从句
28、是说“预测婚姻幸福不容易”。B 项 difficult“困难的”符合语境。(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)A.husbandsB.wivesC.housekeepersD.spouses 解析:解析:上文讲到婚姻和幸福的关系及对婚姻是否会成功的预测,本句顺承上文:到底什么样的人有可能成为成功的_。既然是讲婚姻,那么此处应该是讲什么样的人可以成为成功的伴侣或配偶,故选D 项 spouses“配偶”。(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)A.emphasizeB.provideC.increase D.decrease解析:解析:本句和前句是并列的语义关系,意为:人们要怎么做_婚姻中成功和幸福的几率

30、statusD.influence解析:解析:前后两句之间有表转折的 However,因此前句讲受过高等教育的人们的婚姻,那本句就是讲少受一些教育的人的婚姻。education“教育”符合此处语境,故选 A。(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)A.structuresB.outlooksC.supportsD.outcomes 解析:解析:前一句讲到,少受一些教育的人们的结婚率更低而离婚率更高。紧接着本句讲到。幸福的婚姻在这样的家庭更加少见些。这两句存在因果关系,因为有前句的现象,才造成本句的结果。outcomes“结果”符合此处语境,故选 D。(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)A.team“s
31、B.class“sC.couple“s D.twin“s解析:解析:本句意为“成功婚姻的另一个预测指标是_的孩提时代和其父母亲关系的好坏”。此处需要一个词来限定所属关系,婚姻涉及夫妻双方,从上下文来看全部都是讲夫妻婚姻关系,因此本空讲的应该是 couple“s“夫妻的”孩提时代和父母亲的关系,故选 C。(10).【C10】(分数:2.00)A.growing B.bringingC.makingD.getting解析:解析:本句和前句意思相近,前句讲到“另外一个能够预测婚姻是否会成功的是夫妻童年时期和双亲关系的好坏”。此处需要一个词跟 up 连用,与童年时期相呼应,故选 A 项,growing
