网友回答
(答案→)D
解析：本文叙述了冲突和分歧是夫妻间的生活不可缺少的组成部分，一些夫妻不能在事件早期解决他们的问题，这可能会导致以后甚至会有更大的问题。要试着理解对方的观点和与对方换位思考一下。人们需要能为他们做错的事情向对方致歉，道歉能使冲突最小化，最后得到谅解。
【小题1】考查动词及上下文的呼应。resolve解决； regret后悔； abandon 放弃； avoid避免。结合空格旁边的连词and，可知前后为并列关系，由于后面给出的是deny，故在选项中找与deny意思相近的词即可。故选D。
【小题2】考查副词及上下文的呼应。besides此外，而且； therefore因此； moreover此外，而且； however可是。逻辑连词题，一般做法是看前后，找重复，体会变化。我们要兼顾上一句的信息，重复在于denying, conflict, couples基本上本句的开头部分是上一句的重复，但是变化也明显，本句最后讲到更大的问题，也就是把上一句基本都否定掉了，是转折关系。故本题选择However。另外本题也有一个小技巧，besides和moreover的意思和用法是完全一样的，可直接排除，降低题目难度。故选D。
【小题3】考查动名词及上下文的呼应。trying尝试； declining下降； failing失败； striving努力。根据下文which can then lead to even greater problems later 可知处理问题失败，故选C。
【小题4】考查名词及上下文的呼应。ages年龄； years年；at early stages在早期阶段； intervals间隔。否认冲突的存在导致了在早期阶段没有处理好他们的问题，故选C。
【小题5】考查动词及上下文的呼应。prescribes开药方； protests抗议； proves证明；predicts预言。不奇怪的是，在最初时期，表达愤怒和分歧导致了较低的婚姻满意度。根据空格后面的宾语increases（增加，增长），和主语pattern（样式，图案），再结合本句开头的however，前面讲低，后面增长，说明了空格处应该填写一个对未来的增长的预测。故选D。
【小题6】考查连词及上下文的呼应。so因此； while尽管； but但是； and表示前后是并列关系。所以说，在你自己的（婚姻）关系中，你要做些什么来管理冲突？试图想想其他人的观点并且可以换位思考一下，故选D。
【小题7】考查形容词及上下文的呼应。sensitive敏感的； superior优秀的； exclusive独有的；efficient生效的。那些对他们伴侣的想法和感觉敏感的人会经历更大的（婚姻）关系的满足感。故选A。
【小题8】考查动词及上下文的呼应。expose揭露，曝光； experience经历； explore探索；exploit开发。人们应该是讲经历了满足感。故选B。
【小题9】考查短语及上下文的呼应。as long as只要； as far as就……而言； as well as和； as soon as一……就。前面是恋爱关系，后面是婚姻，两者相似，故选as well as表示并列，故选C。
【小题10】考查介词及上下文的呼应。用to 表示对于冲突而言，故选A。
【小题11】考查形容词及上下文的呼应。absolute绝对的； inevitable必然的，不可避免的； essential必要的；obvious显然的。冲突和分歧是婚姻关系中一个不可避免的组成部分，故选B。

【小题13】考查形容词及上下文的呼应。creative创造性的； positive积极的； objective客观的；petitive比赛的。渐渐地，道歉对身体有积极的健康的益处。故选B。
【小题14】考查名词及上下文的呼应。prospects前景； concepts概念； memories回忆； outlooks展望。当人们有受伤的回忆和怨恨时，故选C。
【小题15】考查形容词及上下文的呼应。added增加的； toughened坚韧的； strengthened加强的； increased增强的。当人们有受伤的回忆和怨恨时，他们会产生消极的生理的影响，包括心率加快和血压升高。heart rate心率，表达心率加快应该用increased，故用D。
