　　Much research over the years has shown that people【B3】________to contagious disease with disgust and【B4】________： They instinctively want to【B5】________the threat, and that impulse can cause them to shop less and consume less. But across two large empirical analyses and four experiments, the researchers showed that a second emotion—fear—is also【B6】________, mediating the【B7】________on consumption patterns.
　　Analyzing data from 2009 through 2014 from Google Flu Trends, and Nielsen Consumer panels, they found that people bought more items when the【B8】________of influenza was high in their state, and they【B9】________products that were familiar. If a household had【B10】________favored a certain brand, that preference was more pronounced during spikes of flu.
　　And on an aggregate level, sales of well-known national brands rose disproportionately during outbreaks,【B11】________less-familiar ones. Even less-familiar variations on well-known brands—tiramisu Oreos, say—【B12】________a hit.

【B17】
选项 A、and
B、or
C、but
D、yet
答案[C]
解析 本题考查副词辨析。四个选项分别为[A]and“和，且”；[B]or“或”；[C]but“但是，除了，只有，仅仅”；[D]yet“还(用于否定句和疑问句，谈论尚未发生但可能发生的事)，然而”。由后文可知，营销经理需要根据传染性线索来推销新颖的或熟悉的产品，因此他们不仅要在疫情期间关注市场。而且要在疫情之后关注市场。本题考查固定搭配：not just…but(also)…意为“不仅……而且……”，其中also可以被省略，且just可以改成only。故选项[C]正确。
