【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】考查逻辑关系。本句句意为“它可能不仅涉及男女双方的父母和朋友,而且还涉及媒人”。本句中的“not only…but also…”是一个明显的并列关系,表示“不仅…而且…”。空格处与前一句his parents and his friends也是并列关系,表示“与他本人以及未来配偶的父母和朋友相关”。as well as表示“也,以及”,符合句意,故D项正确。by way of“经由,通过”,with regard to“关于”,on behalf of“代表”,均不符合题意。
【答案解析】考查上下文语义及动词辨析。本句句意为“仪式的组成部分包括剪发,在新郎新娘的手腕上系上浸满圣水的棉绳,在一圈幸福且受人尊敬的夫妇中______蜡烛来祝福他们______”。第一个空格处需要填写一个动词与后文around a circle来搭配,passing表示“通过,传递”,与其搭配,表示“将蜡烛传递一圈”,符合句意,故A项正确。light“点亮,点着”,hide“隐藏”,serve“为…服务”,均不符合题意。
