语篇解读：本文说明了喜欢与爱这两种情感的不同。
1．解析：选E 空处承接上一句引入本文的主题“爱与喜欢的不同”，并与下文构成转折关系，故E项“对年轻人来说，知道喜欢与爱的不同是共同的任务”符合语境。
2．解析：选A 选项A中的“each case”指代上文中的“loves her best friend, her husband and her son”，再由下文中的“The same goes for the word ‘like’”和“but you don’t like them in the same way”可以推断出，此处要表达的是：尽管每种情形中所用的动词是一样的，但其含义不同。故A项符合语境。
3．解析：选F 选项F中的“the term”指代上文中的“like”，并且上下文都重现了“use”一词，本段用相同的句式结构说明人们用“like”描述不同的情感，故F项符合语境。
4．解析：选G 选项G中的“these three components”指代上文中的“passion, intimacy (亲密) and commitment”，其中的“Love”也与上文中的“Loving” “love”相呼应，故G项符合语境。
5．解析：选D 选项D中的“The change from like to love”与本段的小标题“From like to love”及下文中的“the transition (转变) from liking to loving”相对应，说明从喜欢到爱的转变会使人困惑，为下文作铺垫，故D项符合语境。
