问题     Research has shown that—in both sexes and across numerous cultures—attractive people are judged to be smarter, kinder, more honest and【C1】______.
    With some regularity we hear about the latest beauty contestant who has【C2】______to a soft-ball of a question with an epic fail of a mistake, a【C3】______opinion or an incoherent ramble.
    Ridiculous. But what’s even more ridiculous is that our brains【C4】______us toward believing such people—just because they’re【C5】______.
    In politics, we are also more likely to believe and vote【C6】______people who are attractive. And when it comes to blind【C7】______numerous studies discovered that more-attractive individuals are less likely to be【C8】______of crimes and, if so,【C9】______shorter-than-average sentences for the crime.
    Why should this be? Some have【C10】______that since it is pleasurable to meet someone attractive and someone good and honest, we【C11】______merge the two. But this convergence(the occurrence of two or more things coming together)of rewarding experiences seems【C12】______.
    Work by two researchers in Duke University【C13】______something more convincing: one part of the brain is involved in rating both the【C14】______of a face and the goodness of a behavior, and the level of activity in that【C15】______during one of those tasks predicts the level during the other.
   【C16】______, the brain does similar things when【C17】______beautiful minds, hearts or cheekbones.
    It’s a【C18】______finding. But there’s also some good news in this story: The brain can get confused in【C19】______directions. That is to say, the same neural wiring that gives【C20】______to "What is beautiful is good" also generates "What is good is beautiful."
【C16】

选项 A、In a word
B、On the contrary
C、On the other hand
D、In other words

答案D

解析 上句提及人脑的一个区域同时评判人的脸和行为两个部分,本句则提及到在涉及美丽的心灵和外貌时,人脑所做的事是类似的。本句是在前句给出相对理论性的介绍之后进行更简明易懂的解释。因此,应选表“进一步解释说明”的D项in other words“换而言之”。
