Much research over the years has shown that people【B3】________to contagious disease with disgust and【B4】________: They instinctively want to【B5】________the threat, and that impulse can cause them to shop less and consume less. But across two large empirical analyses and four experiments, the researchers showed that a second emotion—fear—is also【B6】________, mediating the【B7】________on consumption patterns.
Analyzing data from 2009 through 2014 from Google Flu Trends, and Nielsen Consumer panels, they found that people bought more items when the【B8】________of influenza was high in their state, and they【B9】________products that were familiar.

选项
A、by means of
B、at the expense of
C、in need of
D、for fear of
答案
[B]
解析
本题考查介词短语辨析。四个选项分别为[A]by means of“借助于,用,凭借”;[B]at the expense of“以……为代价”;[C]in need of需要”;[D]for fear of“为了避免,唯恐”。由该句话的意思可知,知名国家品牌产品的销量出现了增长,因此牺牲的代价肯定是不知名的品牌(即人们不太熟悉的品牌)产品销量的下降,根据选项内容,at the expense of放在句中能体现此意。故选项[B]正确。
