B．Thepartofthetradition“asilversixpence”isneverusednow.

C．Theborroweditemcanbesomethingborrowedfromanyfriend.

D.Somethingnewisusuallythemostdifficultandexpensivekindtofill.

细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“Inmanycases，somethingoldmayalsobesomethingborrowed”可知，一些老的物件也可以是借来的。

【干扰项分析】　根据最后一段中的“thispartofthetraditionisnotusedveryofteninmoderntimes”可知，B选项错误；

根据第五段中的“Theborroweditemshouldbesomethingborrowedfromafriendthatishappilymarried”可知，C项错在“anyfriend”；

D项与文中的“Something‘new’isusuallytheeasiestkindtofill”不符，故排除。

3．Whatcanweinferfromthepassage?

A．Nobridesnowarenotfamiliarwiththesilversixpence.

B．Everyitemrepresentssomethinggoodforthenewcouple.

C．Thebridewillbemorebeautifulwithallthesefiveitems.

D．Ofthefiveitems，somethingblueisthemostimportantone.

通读全文可推测出，这几样新婚佩戴的物件都会给新婚夫妇带来好处。

B

【干扰项分析】　根据最后一段中的“Sincemostbridesprobablydon'

tevenknowwhatasixpenceis”可知，现在大部分新娘都不知道六便士硬币是什么，故A选项“现在，新娘都熟悉六便士硬币”错误；

C选项错误，文中只说这些物件会给新婚夫妇带来好处，并未涉及新娘佩戴这些物件后是否漂亮的问题；

这五种物件哪个更重要文中未提及，因此D项错误。

4．Whichwordcanreplacetheunderlinedword“fidelity”inthesixthparagraph?

A．Success.　　　　B．Wealth.

C．Loyalty.D．Opportunity.

词义猜测题。

根据语境并结合画线词前的purity和其后的love可推知，“fidelity”此处意思为“忠诚”，即“loyalty”。
