第三部分閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

A

Washington—Almost half of todays US ceremonies are “encore weddings,” in which one or both members of the happy couple have been married before. Many other weddings unite people from different cultures with different ideas about gifts, all of which means more research for anyone who used to give pans and toaster ovens[烤箱].

“The symbolism of wedding gifts has changed,” says etiquette consultant Peggy Post. “In the past, gifts helped set up a couples home. Now its important that a wedding gift be something a couple can enjoy.”

Todays bride often is a woman in her 30s who already has a well-equipped home and kitchen. She and her groom, who already have such traditional gifts as china, crystal and silver, may prefer camping equipment. Or hope for contributions toward a giant flat-screen TV or their dream honeymoon in Venice. Their Internet registry site might suggest guests book a gondola[威尼斯遊船] ride, or a dinner for two overlooking the Grand Canal.

“Often a couple will use the wedding as an opportunity to upgrade what they already have, including their reputations and their living standards,” says Carley Roney of theknot.com Internet wedding service. “So you can give them an antique[古董的] fork, or something else extravagant[奢侈的] they really like.” And theyd always be happy to take a check.

56. Traditional wedding gifts are the following Except _________.

A. china B. toaster ovens

C. ski sticks D. frying pans

57. Todays brides and grooms often take advantage of their weddings to _________.

A. get favorite antique forks

B. raise their reputations and living standards

C. invite guests as many as possible from different cultures

D. improve their free tours abroad

58. What can we learn about weddings from the passage?

A. An encore wedding means the new couple are both remarried.

B. Almost half of todays Americans hold encore weddings.

C. Todays new couples are as rich as those in the past.

D. Modern wedding gifts might be checks.

B
