Our personal celebrations, 22 weddings, promotions, graduations, and anniversaries, are 23 linked with drinking. 24 children can attend any family affair without seeing the adults enjoying their liquor.
答案：(B) such as
【句型】such as 是固定的舉例片語，後面直接接舉例的名詞列表（weddings, promotions...）；so as／as such／such that 都是不同的固定用法，文法上無法直接接名詞列表舉例。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項都由 so 或 such 組成，長得很像，但它們的用法完全不同。這一格看空格後面接什麼就能定案。
先看空格後面：weddings, promotions, graduations, and anniversaries——是一串並列的名詞，用來舉例說明前面的 our personal celebrations（我們個人的慶祝場合）。從一個籠統的上位說法走到幾個具體的例子，而且後面直接接名詞，用的是 such as（例如）。順便把這四個分清楚，它們常一起出現在選項裡：such as ＋ 名詞（例如）；so as to ＋ 原形（為了）；such that ＋ 子句（如此……以致於）；as such（就其本身而言、就這一點來說）。關鍵在後面接的是名詞、原形動詞，還是子句。
so as：完整說法是 so as to V（為了做……），後面要接不定詞，接不了名詞列表。such that：後面要接一個完整的子句表示結果。as such（就其本身而言）：是一個獨立的插入語，後面不接舉例的名詞。
such as ＋ 名詞（例如）、so as to V（為了）、such that ＋ 子句（如此……以致於）、as such（就其本身而言）、a personal celebration（個人的慶祝場合）、an anniversary（週年紀念）。
America encourages its young people to drink. 21 , our society makes drinking a part of every celebration. Our personal celebrations, 22 weddings, promotions, graduations, and anniversaries, are 23 linked with drinking. 24 children can attend any family affair without seeing the adults enjoying their liquor. Drinking is part of our national celebrations as well. The Fourth of July means beer and New Year's Eve is an entire night dedicated to the proposition that everyone must get 25 .
Secondly, the shows young people watch on television encourage them to drink. On 26 every soap opera, the characters drink casually and often. The rock videos young people watch over and over again feature alcohol, too. 27 on the videos sit in bars, nightclubs, and roadhouses. Drinking, the message goes, is cool.
The strongest encouragement to drink that young people receive, 28 , comes from advertisers. Beer companies often sponsor the sports events young people watch. In addition, advertisements for liquor, on TV and in print, show situations that are 29 to the young. People hoist their glasses 30 they are sitting around ski lodges, sailing, dancing, or enjoying a football game. We may say we don't want our children to drink, but our messages say just the opposite.
