Passage Two
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 (29)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. (30)Then the couple will exchange their solemn promises to each other. It is traditional to use the words “To have and to 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 newlywedded couple. After all the procedures, (31)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.
29. What is in common for those weddings held in different locations?
A)。通过预读选项可知，本题与婚礼习俗有关。文章一开头就列举了各种不同的婚礼方式，然后用but进行转折，many weddings, no matter where they are performed, include certain traditional customs，but后面的内容即是本题的答案。本题中的B)具有干扰性，主要考查考生对读音相近的两个单词customs和costumes的辨析。
30. What will the new couple do after all the guests enter the church?
C)。分析选项可知，本题与婚礼的一个环节有关，因此听录音时一定要对婚礼进行的过程仔细辨听，最好做些记录。听音后可知，婚礼仪式的程序是：宾客入场、新娘入场、新郎入场、交换誓言、交换戒指和举行宴会。其中Then the couple will exchange their solemn promises to each other是本题的考查内容。
31. What is the custom before the couple goes on a honeymoon?
D)。预读选项可知，本题与婚礼结束后的习俗有关。考点在文章的结尾：the couple run to the car under a shower of rice thrown by the wedding guests. And then the couple just go on their honeymoon.
