问题     There is a closer relationship between morals and architecture and interior decoration【C1】______we suspect. Huxley has pointed out that Western ladies did not take frequent baths【C2】______they were afraid to see their own naked bodies, and this moral concept delayed the【C3】______of the modern white-enameled bathtub for centuries. One can understand【C4】______in the design of old Chinese furniture there was so little consideration for human【C5】______only when we realize the Confucian atmosphere in which people moved about. Chinese redwood furniture was designed for people to sit【C6】______in, because that was the only posture approved by society. Even Chinese emperors had to sit on a(n)【C7】______on which I would not think of【C8】______for more than five minutes, and for that matter the English kings were just as badly off. Cleopatra went about【C9】______on a couch carried by servants, because【C10】______she had never heard of Confucius. If Confucius should have seen her doing that, he would certainly have struck her shins with a stick, as he did【C11】______one of his old disciples, Yuan Jiang, when the latter was found sitting in an【C12】______posture. In the Confucian society in which we lived, gentlemen and ladies had to【C13】______themselves perfectly erect, at least on formal【C14】______, and any sign of putting one’s leg up would be at once considered a sign of vulgarity and lack of【C15】______.
【C6】
选项 A、upright
B、tight
C、fast
D、stiff
答案A
解析 本题为词义辨析题。upright意为“笔直的”；tight意为“紧紧的”；fast意为“快速的”；stiff意为“坚硬的，呆板的”。根据句意和中国传统文化的常识，坐在红木家具上唯一被社会接受的姿势是坐得笔直。所以选A项。
