问题     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】______".
【C6】
选项 A、certain
B、significant
C、exact
D、subsequent
答案A
解析 语义衔接题。能同时与空后的behavior和attitudes形成合理动宾搭配的只有[A]certain“某些，一些”，用在此处表示“曾经被认为是禁忌的某些行为和态度是如何在几年间变成很自然的事情的”，故答案为[A]。[B]significant“重要的；有意义的”、[C]exact“准确的；精确的”、[D]subsequent“后来的，随后的”均不能使此处语义通顺，故排除。
