解析:

1.本句意為在不同的社會(huì)里,這種合約采取不同的形式。take the form of是固定搭配,意為“采取……形式”。

2.本句是說(shuō)“在西方社會(huì),男女的結(jié)合只有由政府認(rèn)可的官員登記后才成為合法婚姻。”union“結(jié)合"；difference“區(qū)別”；condition“條件”；divorce“離婚”。

3.主語(yǔ)是the union，為單數(shù)，從上下文的時(shí)態(tài)看應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在時(shí)。

4.過(guò)去分詞做定語(yǔ)修飾official，意為被認(rèn)可的官員。

5.though為連詞，連接主語(yǔ)和從句，表“雖然……但是”；yet一般用在否定句或疑問(wèn)句尾，表示“已經(jīng)”；still用在動(dòng)詞前后，表示“仍然”；however可用逗號(hào)與前后隔開(kāi)，在意思上與前句轉(zhuǎn)折。

6.have nothing to do with,與……無(wú)關(guān)，固定搭配。

7.符合商品交換的選項(xiàng)只有exchange。contact“接觸”；communication指“交流、交換(消息)”；connection“連接”。

8.此處是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，It is…who/that結(jié)構(gòu)，故只能用it.

9.make a payment of是固定搭配，意為“支付”。money是不可數(shù)名詞，故不能用a money。cost和consumption是花費(fèi)、消費(fèi)的意思，后面一般沒(méi)有to的結(jié)構(gòu)。

10.also一般跟著謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞；too與as well一般放在句尾，too有時(shí)也放在句中，用逗號(hào)隔開(kāi)。

11.a people“一個(gè)民族”，a people living in southern Sudan是Nuer的同位語(yǔ)，從among the Nuer中可以看出，選項(xiàng)不可能是a man或a person或a couple。

12.be known as，作為……而得名；如用call或name，后面的as應(yīng)去掉。

13.in the form of“以……形式”,固定搭配。

14.number、figure表示數(shù)字；volume意為“容量”；只有amount“數(shù)量”可與新娘彩禮相搭。

15.動(dòng)詞agree后面可接不同的介詞，agree on/upon表示就一點(diǎn)雙方達(dá)成一致意見(jiàn)；agree to同意對(duì)方建議；agree with同意某人意見(jiàn)，雙方在觀點(diǎn)意見(jiàn)上的吻合。無(wú)agree for的說(shuō)法。

16.casual“偶爾的”；progressive“進(jìn)步的”；direct“直接的”。根據(jù)上下文。此處應(yīng)填legal“合法的”。

17.“聯(lián)姻的后代成為”，不可能選bride或cattle。但從后面的句子中可以看出，此處選children最為合適。

18.本句的意思是“即使妻子離開(kāi)丈夫后，同別人生活，他們的孩子應(yīng)屬于夫方。His指代husband。

19.根據(jù)上題的譯文，本句用even if“即使”，符合句意。

20.other后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞；表示單數(shù)概念時(shí)用another。
