单选题
A. to
B. against
C. for
D. at
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 文章的开头解释什么是“良好的夫妻关系”。选择该题的选项时，要参考空白处前面的名词和后面从句中的动词。该空白涉及的词之间的关系可表达为evaluate a relationship ______ an ideal model。介词against的意义之一就是“同……比较”，常与动词measure或judge连用，如measure our achievements against the highest standards。
单选题
A. certainly
B. definitely
C. necessarily
D. fundamentally
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 副词certainly，definitely是同义词，表示很有把握，而necessarily的意义是“必须”或“不可避免地”，常与not连用，表示“不一定”或“不是必须的”，如this is not necessarily the case(情况不一定是这样)。
【答案解析】[解析] 第二段第一句涉及夫妻解决问题的方式。选择的依据是介词in。根据组合要求，首先排除了method，而其他三个名词都可以与in连用。in a respect是“在某一方面”。虽然英语中有in view，in view of或with a view to doing...，但in a view可翻译为“在某景色内”或“以……的观点”。in a...manner意义是“以……的方式”。解决问题需要方式，而不是观点。
单选题
A. resort
B. creature
C. meal
D. beginning
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[解析] 第二段第二句说，许多人把心理咨询看作是最后一个______。显然，心理疏导不是creature(动物)，也不是meal，the last beginning也不太合适，而名词resort的含义是“可借助的手段”，是最合适的。
单选题
A. On the contrary
B. On one hand
C. For example
D. First of all
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 第二段第三句中，It指代前句的心理疏导。该句的意义是“心理疏导在任何时候都起作用”。空白处后面的句子意义是“俩人关心弄僵后，寻求心理疏导有助于缓解紧张局面”。从这两个句子的意义上判断，选择on the contrary(相反)不合适，而on one hand和first of all缺少相对应的连用结构，如on the other hand或secondly，所以for example是最佳选择。
