答案及解析：11.本句空白处放在不定冠词a后以及名词relationship前面提示需填入形容词来修饰该名词。因此,将提示词名词romance改成形容词romantic填入即可。12.本句主谓成分完整,另外空白处放在谓语requires后,联系句意“在浏览其他人的信息之前,相亲网站通常要求中请人提交个人信息”,空白处需填入名词“申请者”。从before引导的从句中可以看出空白处应填名词复数。因此,将提示词动词apply(申请)改成名词applicant(申请者)再改成复数形式applicants填入即可。13.本句空白处放在并列连词and之后提示需填入和and之前词性相同的词汇,空白处前的词汇age(年龄)和religion(宗教信仰)等都是名词。因此,将提示词动词locate改成名词location填入即可。14.本句句法完整,成分不缺失,空白处放在名词services前面提示需填入形容词来修饰该名词。因此,将提示词名词addition改成形容词additional(附加的,额外的)即可。15.本句空白处放在形容词free后面提示需填入名词。因此,将提示词动词register改成名词registr ation填入即可。16. 本句空白处放在不定冠词a之后及名词pay之前提示应填入形容词来修饰该名词。根据句意“但会提供按月付费服务”,将提示词名词month改成形容词monthly(每月的)填入即可。17. 本句空白处与后面“makingtheirprofiles…."并列,故将提示词动词place改成现在分词placing填入即可。18. 本句空白处放在比较级标志词more后及名词词组searchengine前面提示需填入形容词来修饰该名词词组。因此,将提示词动词advance改成形容词advanced(高级的)填入即可。19. 本句空白处放在名词age,genderandcity前提示需填入形容词来修饰它们,将提示词动词specify改成specific(明确的,具体的)填入句中即可。20. 本句句法完整,成分不缺失,空白处放在形容词popular前提示需填入副词修饰该词。根据句意“近年来这些网站越来越受欢迎”可知此空白处是修饰形容词popular的。因此,将提示词动词Increase加上-ing改成现在分词再加上副词后缀-y改成副词increasingly填入即可。
