There【C13】______was a marriage gap in 1960: only four percentage points separated the wedded ways of college and high-school graduates(76% versus 72%).

选项
A、sensitive
B、sentimental
C、sensational
D、sensible
答案
C
解析
本题主要考查对选项中几个形近词的辨析。[A]选项sensitive表示“敏感的”。[B]选项sentimental表示“多愁善感的”。[C]选项sensational表示“轰动的”。[D]选项sensible表示“理智的,明智的”。第一段中作者列举了两个名人婚姻的例子说明了现在大众仍然对婚姻话题津津乐道。第二段不再关注名人的婚姻,而是通过数据讲述普通老百姓的婚姻,因此空格处填[C]选项sensational比较恰当。
