问题     During the winter, most London auctioneers(拍卖商)have wine auctions. Some are of wines for【C1】______drinking, but most are of fine wines. Last winter, at Christies, a dozen bottles of Lafite 1945 were【C2】______down at ￡ 158 a bottle. 1945 and 1961 are the two most【C3】______vintage years for claret (红葡萄酒). Of course, that is not the maximum you could pay. Not【C4】______ago, an American at Christies paid ￡ 8 ,500 for one bottle of Lafite 1806.
    Sometimes, it is a matter of personal【C5】______by the very rich. At other times there can be a【C6】______objective. Last October, a restaurateur from Memphis, paid ￡ 9,000 for a magnum—that is, a two-bottle size—of 1864 Lafite. He【C7】______30 people ￡ 1,500 each for a dinner with a small glass of the wine. It was【C8】______ten times the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant.
    Of course, some people buy wine purely for investment. On the other hand, a real wine lover will use the【C9】______value of good wine to pay for his own drinking. A syndicate of four will buy a【C10】______of Lafite 1945 at, say, ￡ 2,000. Each takes three bottles. Then each drinks one bottle, and keeps the other two to sell later at the【C11】______price as the three cost in the first place. That is, naturally, taking inflation into【C12】______.
    But there is no【C13】______that a bottle of wine at ￡ 1 ,000 is a hundred times【C14】______than one that costs ￡ 10. Perhaps the top price you can pay for wine to enjoy for drinking is ￡ 100 a bottle. Above ￡ 100, you are paying for something【C15】______than taste.
【C9】
选项 A、lifting
B、rising
C、peaking
D、raising
答案B
解析 lifting举起、提高，rising上升、增高，peaking剧烈增加，raising提起、竖起。根据上下文，原文是指价值上升，所以选项B是正确的。
