问题     The way in which people use social space reflects their social relationships and their ethnic identity. Early immigrants to America from Europe brought with them a【S1】______style of living, which they retained until late in the 18th century. Historical records document a group-Oriented【S2】______, in which one room was used for eating, entertaining guests, and sleeping. People ate soups from a communal pot,【S3】______drinking cups, and used a common pit toilet. With the development of ideas about individualism, people soon began to shift to the use of【S4】______cups and plates; the eating of meals that included meat, bread, and vegetables【S5】______on separate plates; and the use of private toilets. They began to build their houses with separate rooms to【S6】______guests — living rooms, separate bedrooms for sleeping, separate work areas — kitchen, laundry room, and separate bathrooms.
    In Mexico, the meaning and organization of domestic space is【S7】______different. Houses are organized around a patio, or courtyard. Rooms open onto the patio, where all kinds of【S8】______activities take place. Individuals do not have【S9】______bedrooms. Children often sleep with parents, and brothers or sisters share a bed emphasizing familial interdependence. Rooms in Mexican houses are locations for multiple activities that, in【S10】______, are rigidly separated in the United States.

A)outdoor         B)shared             C)slightly             D)contrast
E)strikingly      F)contained          G)collective           H)entertain
I)domestic        J)contrary           K)served               L)existence
M)invite          N)separate           O)individual [br] 【S6】
选项
答案 H
解析 此处需要一个动词原形，entertain(款待)和invite(邀请)都能和guests搭配。但款待客人需要一个场所，而邀请只是发出邀请的信息，故选entertain。此句意为：他们开始为自己建造房子，在这种房子里，有独立的客厅用于接待客人，有用于睡觉的独立的卧室，还有单独的工作区域——厨房、洗衣房和单独的浴室。
