【正确答案】：
     COLLOCATIVE MEANING CONSISTS OF THE ASSOCIATIONS A WORD ACQUIRES IN ITS COLLOCATION. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS THAT PART OF THE WORD-MEANING SUGGESTED BY THE WORDS BEFORE OR AFTER THE WORD IN DISCUSSION. PRETTY AND HANDSOME SHARE THE CONCEPTUAL MEANING OF "GOOD-LOOKING" BUT ARE DISTINGUISHED BY THE RANGE OF NOUNS THEY COLLOCATE WITH, SUCH AS PRETTY GIRL, PRETTY FLOWER, HANDSOME BOY, HANDSOME CAR.
     IT MAY BE NOTED THAT THERE IS SOME OVERLAP BETWEEN THE COLLOCATIONS OF THE TWO WORDS, SUCH AS PRETTY WOMAN AND HANDSOME WOMAN. THOUGH BOTH ARE CORRECT, YET THEY SUGGEST A DIFFERENT KIND OF ATTRACTIVENESS. A PRETTY WOMAN STRESSES THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF FACIAL FEATURES WHILE A HANDSOME WOMAN MAY NOT BE FACIALLY BEAUTIFUL, YET IS ATTRACTIVE IN OTHER RESPECTS: A SLENDER FIGURE, POSTURE, BEHAVIOR, ETC.
【题目解析】：本题考查关联意义分类中的搭配意义。搭配意义是指一个词在搭配中所获得的关联意义。换句话说，它是所讨论单词前后的单词所暗示的词义的一部分。pretty和handsome都有good-looking的概念意义，但区别在于它们搭配的名词的范围，如pretty girl（漂亮女孩）、pretty flower（好看的花）。handsome boy（帅哥），handsome car（拉风的小汽车）。值得注意的是，这两个词的搭配有些重叠，例如pretty woman和handsome woman。虽然这两种说法都是正确的，但它们暗示了一种不同的吸引力。pretty woman（漂亮的女人）注重五官的吸引力，而帅气的女人（handsome woman）也许不太漂亮，但在其他方面很有吸引力：苗条的身材、优美的体态、等等。
