At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. 【C1】______. chances are that you don’t act on your impulse,【C2】______let it pass instead. You know that to【C3】______the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not【C4】______your behavior.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo (禁忌) behavior is how it can change【C5】______the years within the same society, how【C6】______behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly【C7】______and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so【C8】______and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now people have become more aware【C9】______the importance of expressing feelings about death and, 【C10】______, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject
One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat.【C11】______many other taboos, fat is a topic that Americans talk about【C12】______. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The "in" look is【C13】______. not fat. In the work world, most companies【C14】______youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as【C15】______as their products to the public. The thin look is【C16】______with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the【C17】______hand, is thought of as lazy and【C18】______in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. In the final analysis, people think, how can people who care about themselves, and therefore the【C19】______they look, permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society like the U.S., thin is "in", fat is "out".
It’s not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed with staying thin and "in【C20】______".
【C18】
选项
A、dropping
B、lacking
C、cutting
D、wanting
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。空前的and表明,【C18】______in energy…self-respect应该与lazy(懒惰的)并列说明人们对fat person的负面看法,[B]lacking与in连用表示“缺少”,用在此处表示“缺少精力、自律和自尊”,符合语境,故为答案。drop in表示“顺便拜访”:cut in表示“插入;干涉”;want in表示“想进来”。
