【答案】 [B] as well as
【解析】根據空格所在句子的內容可以判斷，"擇偶涉及男方的親朋好友，_____女方的親朋好友"顯然前後是並列關係，選項中只有B選項as well as 表示並列關係。
2. [A] adapt to [B] provide for [C]compete with [D] decide on
【答案】 [D] decide on
【解析】根據選項得知空格處需要填謂語動詞，空格後面的賓語是"…配偶"，所以根據動賓搭配的原則，D選項 decide on可以與後面的賓語，構成通順語義：選擇配偶。所以D項正確。
3. [A] close [B] renew [C]arrange [D] postpone
【答案】[C]arrange
【解析】此題考查的仍是動賓搭配，空格處後面的內容the marriage negotiation，只能與選項C arrange構成通順語義，"安排…磋商"，故選C。

【解析】若要判斷此空的答案，需要看到前後文的具體含義和邏輯關係。空格上半句說：原來傳統婚禮持續三天，後半句說：到20世紀80年代婚禮通常持續1天半，顯然前後文形成了對比，故選C。

【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簡短的佈道和__________祈禱祝福。四個選項中只有recite prayers爲其固定搭配，意爲"誦經"。故選C。

【答案】 [D]live
【解析】該句意思是：傳統意義上講新婚夫婦搬去新娘的父母家，並和他們______長達一年之久。前文講到新婚夫婦搬去新娘的父母家，後文應保持一致性，"和他們生活在一起"，故live爲正確答案。

【答案】[B] until
【解析】該句意思是：新婚夫婦搬去新娘的父母家，並和他們______長達一年之久，______他們能夠在附近建造新房。空格需要填入邏輯連接詞，前後爲時間先後關係，故代入until，語義合理，"直到他們造新房之前都住在新娘父母家"。前後文無轉折，可排除whereas然而。for表原因，if表條件，代入均不合理。因此答案爲until。
14. [A] obtain [B] follow [C] challenge [D]avoid
【答案】 [A] obtain
【解析】該句意思是：離婚是合法的並容易______，但並不普遍。填入詞應與legal感情色彩一致，故排除avoid(避免)及challenge(挑戰，質疑)，而follow(跟隨)一詞通常不與divorce搭配。選項obtain代入語境中，obtain a divorce可以表示獲得離婚，搭配合理，語義通順，爲正確答案。

【答案】 [C] viewed
【解析】該句意思是：人們____離婚的人是反對的。此處需填入動作，isolated隔離，persuaded勸說，viewed看待、視爲，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態度的。因此答案爲viewed。
16. [A]wherever [B] however [C] whenever [D]whatever
【答案】 [D]whatever
【解析】此處空前有動詞retain， 因此需要填入一個連詞引導賓語從句， 並且與property搭配，共同充當從句中的賓語。因此排除A選項wherever"無論何地"和C選項whenever"無論何時"。B 選項"however"，作"但是"解，與句意不服， 作"無論多麼"理解， 後面常跟形容詞，而非名詞。 而whatever 與property搭配，可以充當賓語從句的賓語，表示"一切財產"，因此選項D爲正確答案。
17. [A] changed [B] brought [C] shaped [D] pushed
【答案】[B] brought
【解析】此處需要填入一個動詞，能和property 形成動賓搭配。A選項changed意爲"改變"， B選項brought意爲"帶來"，C選項shaped意爲"形成"，D選項pushed意爲"推搡"。因此符合文意，能夠和財產搭配的只能是選項B。
18. [A] divided [B] invested [C] donated [D] withdrawn
【答案】[A] divided
【解析】空格處是一個被動語態， 此處需要填入一個與jointly-acquired property(共同獲得的財產)形成動賓搭配的動詞。同時此處的情境是討論離婚時的行爲， 因此A選項爲正確選項。
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show up意爲"顯現，出現"。後文提到離婚後，男士可以立即重婚， 而女士必須要等十個月，可知符合文意，並且能夠和"性別歧視"搭配的只能是選項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係。上文指出，離婚男士在他再婚前沒有一個等候期，空格後提到"女性必須要等待10個月"，顯然，這二者之間不是因果關係，因此排除B選項 so that"所以"和D選項in that"因爲"，也不是C選項once"一旦"所表達的條件關係，因此正確答案爲A選項。
【試題點評】完型填空爲了測試考生實際應用英語的能力和語感。具體說來，是從語篇的角度綜合測試考生的閱讀理解能力、詞彙的掌握和對英語習慣用語的熟悉程度、以及語法規則的靈活運用。這部分大家一定要注重思路和尋找線索能力的訓練，一般做題的基本思路是，根據已知資訊去填空，根據空前後的線索來選擇填什麼。比方說，題目讓考生填主句的內容，那麼從句中就會有相應的說明。題目讓考生填動詞，原文常常在別的地方出現這個動詞的同義詞。那麼如何判斷呢?首先根據需要填寫動詞後面出現的賓語，找到有同一賓語的句子，該句中的動詞就是所需填寫詞的同義詞。具體相關知識點和解題思路在學府考研衝刺階段-英語衝刺、點題班的完型填空部分鄭景婷老師有重點講解，在強化班完形填空及考研詞彙中也有所涉及。
