    There is a closer relationship between morals and architecture and interior decoration than we suspect. Huxley has pointed out that Western ladies did not take frequent baths because they were afraid to see their own【C1】________ bodies, and this moral concept delayed the【C2】________ of the modern white-enameled bathtub for centuries. One can understand, why in the design of old Chinese furniture there was so little【C3】________ for human comfort only when we realize the-Confucian atmosphere in which people moved about. Chinese redwood furniture was designed for people to sit upright in, because that was the only posture【C4】________by society.
    Even Chinese emperors had to sit on a throne on which I would not think of remaining for more than five minutes, and for that matter the English kings were just as badly off. Cleopatra went about【C5】________ on a couch carried by servants, because【C6】________ she had never heard of Confucius. If Confucius should have seen her doing that, he would certainly have【C7】________ her shins with a stick, as he did to one of his old disciples, Yuan Yan, when the latter was found sitting in an【C8】________posture. In the Confucian society in which we lived, gentlemen and ladies had to【C9】________ themselves perfectly erect, at least on formal occasions, and any sign of putting one’s leg up would be at once considered a sign of vulgarity and lack of【C10】________.
【C5】

选项

答案M

解析 这里填入动词分词形式,与后面的on a couch构成搭配,作状语,说明克莉奥帕特拉是怎样四处走动(went about)。空格后提到on a couch carried by servants(由仆人们扛着的睡椅上),可推知克莉奥帕特拉当时是斜靠在躺椅上四处走动的,词库中的reclining“斜躺”符合语义逻辑。
