1. [A] by way of [B] as well as [C] on behalf of [D] with regard to
【答案】 [B] as well as
【解析】根據(jù)空格所在句子的內(nèi)容可以判斷，"擇偶涉及男方的親朋好友，_____女方的親朋好友"顯然前后是并列關(guān)系，選項(xiàng)中只有B選項(xiàng)as well as 表示并列關(guān)系。
2. [A] adapt to [B] provide for [C]compete with [D] decide on
【答案】 [D] decide on
【解析】根據(jù)選項(xiàng)得知空格處需要填謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，空格后面的賓語(yǔ)是"…配偶"，所以根據(jù)動(dòng)賓搭配的原則，D選項(xiàng) decide on可以與后面的賓語(yǔ)，構(gòu)成通順語(yǔ)義：選擇配偶。所以D項(xiàng)正確。
3. [A] close [B] renew [C]arrange [D] postpone
【答案】[C]arrange
【解析】此題考查的仍是動(dòng)賓搭配，空格處后面的內(nèi)容the marriage negotiation，只能與選項(xiàng)C arrange構(gòu)成通順語(yǔ)義，"安排…磋商"，故選C。
4. [A] In theory [B] Above all [C] In time [D] For example
【答案】 [A] In theory
【解析】根據(jù)空格后面的內(nèi)容，得知女孩可能會(huì)否定她的父母為其所選的配偶;句中的may 表示的是一種可能性。所以，與原文句子內(nèi)容表達(dá)一致的，只有A選項(xiàng) in theory。
5. [A] Although [B] Lest [C] After [D] Unless
【答案】 [C] After
【解析】空格處所在的句子是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，逗號(hào)后面的內(nèi)容是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，所以根據(jù)時(shí)態(tài)判斷，前后內(nèi)容存在時(shí)間上的先后性，所以C選項(xiàng)after正確。
6. [A] into [B] within [C] from [D] through
【答案】[A] into
【解析】原文：each family investigates the other to make sure its child is marrying _______ a good family. 每個(gè)家庭調(diào)查另一個(gè)家庭，確保孩子娶或嫁到一個(gè)好家庭。此處需要填入一個(gè)介詞，嫁入另一個(gè)家庭，介詞選擇into最合適。故選A。

【答案】 [C]recite
【解析】原文：Buddhist priests offer a short sermon and______ prayers of blessing.佛教神職人員提供一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)短的布道和__________祈禱祝福。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有recite prayers為其固定搭配，意為"誦經(jīng)"。故選C。

【答案】 [B] passing
【解析】原文： around a circle of happily married and respected couples to bless the union.在一圈婚姻幸福美滿和德高望重的情侶中_________一根蠟燭來(lái)祝福他們。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，A lighting，點(diǎn)亮，C hiding隱藏，D serving 服務(wù);均不合適，只能選B passing 傳遞。故選B。
11. [A] meeting [B] association [C] collection [D]union
【答案】 [D]union
【解析】該句講到：圍坐在新婚夫婦身邊祝福他們的____。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知應(yīng)填入團(tuán)聚的含義，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中union可以表示團(tuán)聚之意，為正確答案。
12. [A] grow [B] part [C] deal [D]live
【答案】 [D]live
【解析】該句意思是：傳統(tǒng)意義上講新婚夫婦搬去新娘的父母家，并和他們______長(zhǎng)達(dá)一年之久。前文講到新婚夫婦搬去新娘的父母家，后文應(yīng)保持一致性，"和他們生活在一起"，故live為正確答案。
13. [A] whereas [B] until [C] for [D] if
【答案】[B] until
【解析】該句意思是：新婚夫婦搬去新娘的父母家，并和他們______長(zhǎng)達(dá)一年之久，______他們能夠在附近建造新房�？崭裥枰钊脒壿嬤B接詞，前后為時(shí)間先后關(guān)系，故代入until，語(yǔ)義合理，"直到他們?cè)煨路恐岸甲≡谛履锔改讣?quot;。前后文無(wú)轉(zhuǎn)折，可排除whereas然而。for表原因，if表?xiàng)l件，代入均不合理。因此答案為until。
14. [A] obtain [B] follow [C] challenge [D]avoid
【答案】 [A] obtain
【解析】該句意思是：離婚是合法的并容易______，但并不普遍。填入詞應(yīng)與legal感情色彩一致，故排除avoid(避免)及challenge(挑戰(zhàn)，質(zhì)疑)，而follow(跟隨)一詞通常不與divorce搭配。選項(xiàng)obtain代入語(yǔ)境中，obtain a divorce可以表示獲得離婚，搭配合理，語(yǔ)義通順，為正確答案。
15. [A] isolated [B] persuaded [C] viewed [D] exposed
【答案】 [C] viewed
【解析】該句意思是：人們____離婚的人是反對(duì)的。此處需填入動(dòng)作，isolated隔離，persuaded勸說(shuō)，viewed看待、視為，exposed暴露、揭露。代入文中viewed是最合理的，人們看待離婚的人持反對(duì)態(tài)度的。因此答案為viewed。
16. [A]wherever [B] however [C] whenever [D]whatever
【答案】 [D]whatever
【解析】此處空前有動(dòng)詞retain， 因此需要填入一個(gè)連詞引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句， 并且與property搭配，共同充當(dāng)從句中的賓語(yǔ)。因此排除A選項(xiàng)wherever"無(wú)論何地"和C選項(xiàng)whenever"無(wú)論何時(shí)"。B 選項(xiàng)"however"，作"但是"解，與句意不服， 作"無(wú)論多么"理解， 后面常跟形容詞，而非名詞。 而whatever 與property搭配，可以充當(dāng)賓語(yǔ)從句的賓語(yǔ)，表示"一切財(cái)產(chǎn)"，因此選項(xiàng)D為正確答案。
17. [A] changed [B] brought [C] shaped [D] pushed
【答案】[B] brought
【解析】此處需要填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞，能和property 形成動(dòng)賓搭配。A選項(xiàng)changed意為"改變"， B選項(xiàng)brought意為"帶來(lái)"，C選項(xiàng)shaped意為"形成"，D選項(xiàng)pushed意為"推搡"。因此符合文意，能夠和財(cái)產(chǎn)搭配的只能是選項(xiàng)B。
18. [A] divided [B] invested [C] donated [D] withdrawn
【答案】[A] divided
【解析】空格處是一個(gè)被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)， 此處需要填入一個(gè)與jointly-acquired property(共同獲得的財(cái)產(chǎn))形成動(dòng)賓搭配的動(dòng)詞。同時(shí)此處的情境是討論離婚時(shí)的行為， 因此A選項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)。
19. [A]clears [B] warms [C] shows [D] breaks
【答案】 [C] shows
【解析】此處考察固定詞組。C選項(xiàng)show up意為"顯現(xiàn)，出現(xiàn)"。后文提到離婚后，男士可以立即重婚， 而女士必須要等十個(gè)月，可知符合文意，并且能夠和"性別歧視"搭配的只能是選項(xiàng)C。
20. [A]while [B] so what [C]once [D] in that
【答案】 [A]while
【解析】此處考察上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。上文指出，離婚男士在他再婚前沒(méi)有一個(gè)等候期，空格后提到"女性必須要等待10個(gè)月"，顯然，這二者之間不是因果關(guān)系，因此排除B選項(xiàng) so that"所以"和D選項(xiàng)in that"因?yàn)?quot;，也不是C選項(xiàng)once"一旦"所表達(dá)的條件關(guān)系，因此正確答案為A選項(xiàng)。
【試題點(diǎn)評(píng)】完型填空為了測(cè)試考生實(shí)際應(yīng)用英語(yǔ)的能力和語(yǔ)感。具體說(shuō)來(lái)，是從語(yǔ)篇的角度綜合測(cè)試考生的閱讀理解能力、詞匯的掌握和對(duì)英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)的熟悉程度、以及語(yǔ)法規(guī)則的靈活運(yùn)用。這部分大家一定要注重思路和尋找線索能力的訓(xùn)練，一般做題的基本思路是，根據(jù)已知信息去填空，根據(jù)空前后的線索來(lái)選擇填什么。比方說(shuō)，題目讓考生填主句的內(nèi)容，那么從句中就會(huì)有相應(yīng)的說(shuō)明。題目讓考生填動(dòng)詞，原文常常在別的地方出現(xiàn)這個(gè)動(dòng)詞的同義詞。那么如何判斷呢?首先根據(jù)需要填寫動(dòng)詞后面出現(xiàn)的賓語(yǔ)，找到有同一賓語(yǔ)的句子，該句中的動(dòng)詞就是所需填寫詞的同義詞。具體相關(guān)知識(shí)點(diǎn)和解題思路在學(xué)府考研沖刺階段-英語(yǔ)沖刺、點(diǎn)題班的完型填空部分鄭景婷老師有重點(diǎn)講解，在強(qiáng)化班完形填空及考研詞匯中也有所涉及。
