    In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children. Teenagers begin【B4】______in high school and usually find mates through their own academic and social【B5】______. Though young people feel【B6】______to choose their friends from【B7】______groups, most choose a mate of similar background. This is【B8】______in part to parental guidance. Parents cannot select spouses for their children, but they can usually【B9】______choices by【B10】______disapproval of someone they consider unsuitable.

【B19】

选项 A、raise
B、obtain
C、grow
D、unite

答案A

解析 考查动词辨析。空格处所填动词处于一个排比结构中——“to find a place to live,maintain friendships,and______a family”。我们据此可以推断此处大意应为“组建或者维持家庭”。A.raise“养育,抚养”,raise a family可以表达这种意思,因此答案为A。obtain“获得,获取”;grow“生长,成长”:unite“联合”,均不符合题意。
