Tomorrow Japan and South Korea will celebrate White Day, an annual event when men are expected to buy a gift for the adored women in their lives. It is a relatively new【C1】______that was commercially created as payback for Valentine’s Day. That’s【C2】______in both countries, 14 February is all about the man.
On Valentine’s Day, women are expected to buy all the important male【C3】______in their lives a token gift; not just their partners, 【C4】______their bosses or older relatives too.
This seems【C5】______enough. Surely it’s reasonable for men to be indulged on one day of the year, 【C6】______the number of times they’re expected to produce bouquets of flowers and【C7】______their woman with perfume or pearls.
But the idea of a woman【C8】______a man didn’t sit easily with people. In 1978, the National Confectionery Industry Association(糖果业协会) 【C9】______an idea to solve this problem. They started to market white chocolate that men could give to women on 14 March, as 【C10】______for the male-oriented Valentine’s Day.
It started with a handful of sweet makers’ producing candy【C11】______a simple gift idea. The day【C12】______the public imagination, and is now a nationally【C13】______date in the diary — and one where men are【C14】______to whip out their credit cards. In fact, men are now expected to give gifts worth【C15】______the value of those they received. What a complication: not only do men have to remember who bought them what, they have to estimate the value and multiply it by three.
【C4】
选项
A、but
B、and
C、instead of
D、rather than
答案
A
解析
空格所在句子大意为:这些男性不仅只限于她们的配偶,还有她们的老板和年长的亲戚。句子含有递进关系,not just…but和not only…but also“不仅……而且……”词义相近;B项and表并列;C项instead of强调代替;D项rather than表并列,表示“是……而不是……”。所以A项符合文意。
