【答案解析】[听力原文]
   Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. There are church weddings; there are weddings on mountain tops with guests barefooted; and there have been weddings underwater on the ocean floor. But many weddings, no matter where they are performed, include certain traditional customs. Before a couple is married, they become engaged. And then invitations are sent to those who live nearby, their close friends and their relatives who live far away. When everything is ready, then comes the most exciting moment. The wedding itself usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. The guests enter the church first while the wedding music is played. The bride, carrying flowers, enters last with her father who will "give her away." The bridegroom enters the church from a side door. Then the couple will exchange their solemn promises to each other. It is traditional to use the words "To have and hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to care, till death do us part." Following this, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom. After the ceremony there is often a party, called a "reception" which gives the wedding guests an opportunity to congratulate the newly wedded couple. After all the procedure, the couple runs to the car under a shower of rice thrown by the wedding guests. And then the couple just go on their honeymoon.
   What is common for those weddings held in different locations?
选项中需要注意的单词是：customs，rings，promises，presents，flowers，couple，通过这些词可推测文章是跟婚礼有关的，特别是第一小题的选项中出现的场景基本都是婚礼中的。文章一开头就列举了各种不同的婚礼方式，然后用but一词进行转折，说明许多婚礼不管以什么样的形式举行，都有一些特定的传统习俗。所以A正确。
