问题     The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their obvious advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were【C1】______ to find the cause of the consumers’ seemingly unreasonable【C2】______ to the product. The reason given by most people was【C3】______   for the taste. The producers suspected that there might be【C4】______ reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of【C5】______  research’s classic studies, one often cited in the trade. Mason Haire, of the University of California,【C6】______ two shopping lists that were identical except for one【C7】______ . There were six items common to both lists, carrots, baking power, bread, canned peaches and potatoes,【C8】______ the brands or amounts specified. The seventh item, in the fifth【C9】______ both fists, read "! pound. Maxwell House coffee" on the list and "Nescafe instant coffee" on the【C10】______ One list was given to each person in a group of fifty【C11】______ , and the other list to those in another group of the same【C12】______ .The women were asked to study their lists and then to describe【C13】______ they could, the kind of woman (personality and character)【C14】______  would draw up that shopping list.【C15】______ half of those who had received the list including instant coffee【C16】______ a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner.【C17】______ , only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had【C18】______ regular coffee on her list,【C19】______ lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was a poor planner. Eight women felt that the instant-coffee user was probably not a good wife! No one in the other group【C20】______ such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.  
【C17】
选项 A、Therefore
B、Thus
C、However
D、While
答案C
解析 语篇衔接题。本句的意思是：“但是另外一组拿到单子上列有常规咖啡(即研磨咖啡)的女性中只有一人用懒惰来形容清单制定者。”从内容上来看，空格前后的两个句子分别讲述了两个小组受调查的情况，并且两种情况形成强烈的对比。四个选项中，A Therefore“因此”，表示因果；B Thus“这样，因而”，表示结果；D While“虽然，当……时候”，该词不可单独使用；C However“然而，可是”，可单独使用，例如：The book is expensive；however，it’s worth it．(这本书很贵；却很值。)综合分析，只有However符合句子意思。因此选项C为正确答案。
