问题                          Beauty or Comfort?
    People in Beijing wear a lot of clothing during winter to fend off the cold. In the United States, however, people wear【B1】______, partly because the car is the primary mode of transportation. Cars take them straight to their workplaces, which are heated well. The American diet is full of calories , so their【B2】______can afford to burn heat more quickly.
    【B3】______layers of clothing give people the opportunity to stay fashionable. Lots of Yales girls wear skirts even when it’s 10 degree Centigrade outside. Some of them at least wear boots, tights, and leg-warmers. Some, however, really just go【B4】______the look at the risk of health. These girls have nothing to prevent their legs against the wind, and no socks to protect their feet. A mini skirt and a pair of stilettos are all that they wear.
    Typically, the ones pursuing fashion are【B5】______, with little body fat. Just by the nature of their bodies, they are already at a【B6】______compared with normal people in cold weather. I have always wondered whenever I pass these girls, how they manage to refrain from【B7】______and just smile like spring had arrived.
    And then there are the guys. The girls can be said to sacrifice health for beauty. But why do guys wear so little? It is not like, once they shed some layers, they suddenly become better-looking. They are not【B8】______being fashionable when they only wear sporty shorts and shower slippers in the midst of winter. It’s not cute.
    Of course, people have the freedom to look【B9】______way they want. I am just surprised that, given the vast difference between winter and summer temperatures in Connecticut, they can still look like they are【B10】______on the beach in the middle of February.
A. however E. skinny I. at
B. shivering F. exactly J. partying
C. less G. bodies K. disadvantage
D. fewer H. whatever L. for
【B8】
选项
答案F
解析 译文：当冬天冷的时候他们仅仅穿着花哨的短裤和洗澡用的拖鞋其实并不显得更时髦。修饰表语being fashionable, 只能填入副词。exactly，adv．完全地、确切地。
