    Internet data shows that American younger adults have become the primary group mad about altering their personal appearance. Once the realm of the well-to-do female【C1】________ her fifties, plastic surgery has become the attraction of the least rich segment of younger Internet users. Search data【C2】________ this phenomenon. One of the most popular sites visited from the search term "plastic surgery" is the【C3】________ site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Over 25% of visitors to the site fell within the 18- to 24-year-old demographic (特定年龄段的人群)—that’s up from 19.6% two years ago.
    Looking at other health related sites visited by 18- to 24-year-olds, reveals just how mad this age group is about appearance. Unlike their older counterparts who visit sites related to【C4】________ and keeping healthy, younger Internet users flock to sites that dwell on personal appearance, such as those【C5】________ on bodybuilding, weight loss and skincare. And definitely plastic surgery.
    But if we track the trend in searches on topics such as "breast implants" or "plastic surgery," there has been a steep decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year. What’s【C6】________  this downturn? It may very well be related to the failing U.S. economy and the predominant income group of visitors to cosmetic surgery sites—U.S. households that【C7】________ less than $30,000 per year. In fact, if we look at the search patterns around popular surgeries, over the last year the term "cost" is the most【C8】________ appearing qualifier (限定词). We see more searches such as "breast implant cost" and "plastic surgery cost". While older demographics continue to search for information on procedures such as face-lifts, it’s the younger Internet users who in tough【C9】________ times are focusing on improving their outer beauty, although at a(n)【C10】________ price.
【C6】
选项
答案G
解析 空格前为’s，空格后为名词短语this downturn，因此推断空格处应填入现在分词。上一句讲数量下降，而下一句讲“这与……有关”，推断空格所在句是问原因。词库中的fueling有“刺激，激起”的意思，代入后表示“是什么引起了这种下降呢”，符合上下文语义。
