问题     Visitors to Britain may find the best place to【C1】______local culture is in a traditional pub. But these friendly hostelries can be minefields of potential gaffes for the uninitiated.
    An anthropologist and a team of researchers have【C2】______some of the arcane rituals of British pubs—starting with the difficulty of getting a drink. Most pubs have no【C3】______— you have to go to the bar to buy drinks. A group of Italian youths waiting 45 minutes before they realized they would have to【C4】______their own. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose.
    Pub culture is designed to promote【C5】______in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which friendly conversation with strangers is considered entirely【C6】______and really quite normal behaviour. "If you haven’t been to a pub, you haven’ t been to Britain." This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists’ Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customer’ s【C7】______of conduct for those wanting to sample "a central part of British life and culture". The trouble is that if you do not【C8】______the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing【C9】______the regular customers and bar staff more than a gang of strangers【C10】______all access to the bar while they chat and dither about what to order.

【C10】

选项

答案D

解析 根据该句已知信息“酒吧常客和酒保最愤怒的就是,一大伙人一边聊着一边又优柔寡断不知喝什么酒好,把通往吧台的路 ”,由此可推知,一大伙人不知喝什么酒一直商议,而且酒吧常客和酒保对此非常愤怒,一定是这伙人站的位置影响到了他们。即挡住了通往吧台的路。D项blocking意为“阻塞”,符合句意。因此选择blocking“阻塞”。
