41、 意为“障碍”,loss 意为“损失”,handicap意为“障碍,阻碍”。结合句意“或许婚姻和睦的最大_是夫妻间通常看到对方的_”可知,此处表达的是影响夫妻和睦的不利因素,故应选 obstacle。A.amount B.numberC.mountD.account解析:词义辨析题。amount 意为“数量,总计”,侧重总数、总量;number 意为“数字,数量”,通常与确定的数字连用;mount 意为“山”;account 意为“计算,账目”。结合句意(见第 2 题解析)和下文提到的 the strain of daily,year-long cohabitation“长久相处所带来的紧张状
42、态”,可知此处表示的是夫妻看到对方多少的问题,故选 amount。A.triedB.examinedC.tastedD.tested 解析:词义辨析题。try 意为“尝试”;examine 意为“考试,检查”,多指上级对下级的检查;taste意为“品尝”;test 意为“测试,检验”。结合文意“通常意义上说,夫妻间的感情不是通过长久相处所带来的紧张状态来_的”,在该空中应该填入的是有“测试,衡量”之意的词,故 test 最符合文意。A.separate B.sameC.variousD.own解析:篇章逻辑题。此题的考点在 as well as“同样,也”,它指出的是一个问题的两个方面,因此
43、as well as 前部分的意思应与后部分的 shared ones“共同的爱好”相对应,即应该有各自的爱好。选项中various 虽然也表示“不同的”,但强调的是多样性而非个性,故只能选 separate“个别的,各自的”。A.basicallyB.primarilyC.mutually D.barely解析:词义辨析题。basically 意为“基本上,主要地”,primarily 意为“首先,起初”,mutually 意为“互相地”,barely 意为“仅仅,刚刚”。上文提到夫妻双方除了应有各自的兴趣外,还应有共同的兴趣,即两人相互的,故选 C。A.toB.for C.inD.at解析
44、:短语搭配题。exert oneself 意为“努力,尽力”,其后可接动词不定式 to do sth.也可接 for sth./sb.,表示为某事/某人尽力做某事,故选 B。原句意为“夫妻双方可能会尽力地为客人服务:逗大家开心或是与他们富有激情地讨论问题、表达看法,当客人离开之后他们就会陷入无聊、筋疲力尽的_中”。A.debateB.restC.silence D.sleep解析:篇章逻辑题。分析句子结构,该句中有两个破折号:第一个破折号进行解释说明,第二个破折号后的内容与前文客人在时的 amusing,discussing with passion 对比,结合空格前的形容词 dull 可知选

46、hC.seekD.deserve解析:习惯搭配题。preserve 意为“保护,保持”,search 意为“搜寻,探求”,seek 意为“寻觅,追求”,deserve 意为“应受,值得”。结合句意“同时他们需要花足够的时间在各自的兴趣上以_和发展各自的个性特点,进而使他们的关系保持_”,可知填入的词与 develop 在语义上并列,选项中能与 personalities 搭配的只有 preserve,意为“保持个性”。A.permanentB.fresh C.closeD.relaxed解析:词义辨析题。permanent 意为“永久的,持久的”,fresh 意为“新鲜的”,close 意为“
47、亲密的”,relaxed 意为“轻松的”。根据常理推断,夫妻之间保持各自的特性会给彼此新鲜的感觉,故选 B。A.purelyB.especiallyC.merelyD.highly 解析:词义辨析题。purely 意为“纯粹地,完全地”,especially 意为“尤其,特别”,merely 意为“仅仅,只不过”,hihgly 意为“高地,非常地”。该段主要就 intelligent working women 和下文中的 highly intelligent working men 对家的不同理解进行阐述,根据同词复现可知本题应选 D。A.responsibilitiesB.obligati

49、赠,赋予”,provide 意为“提供”。根据下文“对于许多高级职业男性来说,家庭代表的是无聊和_,因为妻子不能鼓起_从一个过度依赖的人转变为一个非常独立的人”可知,丈夫对女性工作的态度并非提倡,而是忍受,故选 A。A.attendB.takeC.participate D.enroll解析:词义辨析题。attend 意为“参加,出席”时是及物动词,take 和 in 搭配时意为“接受,吸收,欺骗”,poarticipate in 意为“参与,参加”,enrou in 意为“登记,注册”。结合句意(见第 13 题解析)可知选 C。A.praisesB.complaints C.complimentsD.quarrels解析:词义辨析题。praise 意为“表扬”,complaint 意为“诉苦,抱怨”,compliment 意为“称赞,恭维”,quarrel 意为“吵架,争论”。由并列连词 and 可知填入的词与 dullness 在词性和意思上应该是并列的,结合句意和常识可知 complaint 最符合文意。A.courage B.moneyC.timeD.property解析:词义辨析题。根据句意(见第 1
