问题     Ironically, a study finds that we’re awful gift-givers precisely because we spend too much timetrying to be considerate. We imagine our friends【C1】______a gift that is impressive, expensive, andsentimental.We imagine the look of happiness and surprise on their faces and the warmth we feel【C2】______But there’s something that the most sentimental gift-givers tend not to think too muchabout:【C3】______the gift is practical in the first place.
   【C4】______, practicality seems likeanenemy of great gift giving. Beautiful jewelry, lovely watches, perfect rugs, finely crafted kitchen hardware: These things【C5】______great gifts because they , communicate something beyond practicality. They communicate that the giver cares.
    But do the receivers care? Often, no. "Gift receivers would be【C6】______if givers gave them exactly what they requested【C7】______attempting to be * thoughtful and considerate’ by buying gifts they did not explicitly request" to surprise them, the researchers write. Their clever paper asks givers and receivers to【C8】______gifts from two perspectives: desirability ( e. g, the cost of a coffee maker) and feasibility (e.g.the【C9】______of the coffee maker). Across several experiments, they find that givers, consistently give gifts based on desirability and receivers【C10】______favor gifts based on feasibility.
【C10】
选项 A、nevertheless
B、continuously
C、unexpectedly
D、whereas
答案D
解析 本题考查上下文语义关系。题干的意思是：实验表明，礼物赠与者赠送礼物时主要基于必要性基础之上，______礼物收受者却更喜欢基于实用性基础之上的礼物。很明显，两个分句之间为对比关系，故用whereas是最合适的。
