问题     Marriage is the socially recognized and approved union between individuals, who commit to one another with the expectation of a stable and【S1】______intimate relationship. It begins with a ceremony known as a wedding, which【S2】______unites the marriage partners. A marital relationship usually involves some kind of【S3】______, either written or specified by tradition, which defines the partners’【S4】______and obligations to each other, to any children they may have, and to their relatives. In most contemporary industrialized societies, marriage is【S5】______by the government.
    In addition to being a personal relationship between two people, marriage is one of society’s most important and basic institutions. Marriage and family serve as tools for ensuring social reproduction. Social reproduction mainly includes providing food, clothing, and【S6】______for family members; raising and socializing children; and caring for the sick and【S7】______. In families and societies in which wealth, property, or a hereditary (世袭的) tide is to be【S8】______on from one generation to the next generation, inheritance and the production of legitimate heirs are a prime concern in marriage. In some cultures, marriage【S9】______connects two strange families in a complicated set of property exchanges, which involve land, labor, and other【S10】______. However, in contemporary industrialized societies, marriage functions less as a social institution and more as a some of intimacy for the individuals involved.

A) lasting           B) passed             C) rights             D) freedom
E) resources         F) shelter            G) dominated          H) elderly
I) formally          J) attractive         K) certified          L) continually
M) contract          N) amazingly          O) closely
【S9】
选项
答案O
解析 这里修饰的是动词connect，所以需要一个副词做状语，而在剩下的closely，continually，amazingly三个副词中，只有closely一词能使本句话言辞达意并符合逻辑。此外，后面出现的strange一词也有相当的提示作用，它与closely的意思正相对。这里说的是在某些文化里，婚姻会通过复杂的财产交换将原本陌生的两个家庭紧密联系起来。
