【C1】______we admit it or not, we all want to feel as if we are a little better than the people around us. We begin to establish that--at least in our own minds--with the range of【C2】______, such as branded clothing, jewelry,【C3】______automobiles, and exclusive neighborhoods.【C4】______the poorest of people find symbols with【C5】______to establish their status.

选项
A、inexpensive
B、luxury
C、pretty
D、useful
答案
B
解析
考查形容词辨义。填入的形容词修饰automobiles,此处应填luxury“奢华的”,才能和珍宝等匹配,凸显“财富”这一概念,故B正确。inexpensive“廉价的”、pretty“漂亮的”和useful“有用的”都不符合语境。
