问题     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 in her fifties, plastic surgery has become the attraction of the least rich【C1】______of younger Internet users.
    Search data【C2】______this phenomenon. One of the most popular sites visited from the search【C3】______"plastic surgery" is the【C4】______site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

In fact, if we look at the search patterns around popular surgeries, over the last year the term "cost" is the most【C17】______appearing qualifier. We see more searches such as "breast implant cost" and "plastic surgery cost".【C18】______older demographics continue to search for information on procedures such as face-lifts, it’s the younger Internet users who in tough【C19】______times are focusing on improving their outer beauty, although at a(n) 【C20】______price.

选项 A、ago
B、early
C、after
D、later

答案A

解析 破折号前的数据为25%,而破折号后说that’s up from 19.6%(从19.6%涨起),据此可推断19.6%是更久以前的数据,故选A项ago“以前”。
