问题     Suddenly, everywhere you look, everyone’s taking cold showers. Not literally—that would be weird—but there’s no mistaking a lifestyle trend when you see one. They’re【C1】________in a new book, What Doesn’t Kill Us, which
    【C2】________the exploits of the Dutch extreme-cold enthusiast (狂热者) Wim Hof, who once spent nearly two hours in an ice bath. In The New York Times, the novelist Ben Dolnick reports that cold showers changed his "entire【C3】________ toward the outside world". The benefits include everything from【C4】________immunity to slowing ageing and fighting depression. It’s environmentally better, too, so you’ll feel the warm glow of being moral, which is fortunate, given that you’re going to be extremely bloody cold.
    As someone who has always preferred the cold, and【C5】________the way hot days are considered "good weather", I’m a natural candidate for the craze. Finding myself sleepy at 5 p.m.—having woken with the baby at 5 a.m.—I tried taking naps,【C6】________that plan, and then started jumping under icy water instead. It worked【C7】________, helping me squeeze out a few more hours of energy. When I took another cold shower before bed, I slept better, too.
    But I’ll admit there’s something a little【C8】________about this, as there is with many strategies for "breaking out of your comfort zone". What are we all trying to prove, exactly? It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that behind the desire to【C9】________over extreme cold, there’s a desire to somehow conquer yourself, since both participants in this wrestling match, as you may have noticed, are you. The far more likely result is just more【C10】________conflict.

选项
答案L
解析 动词辨析题。空格位于系动词are之后、in a new book之前，因此空格处可填入现在分词（构成现在进行时）或填入过去分词（与are一同构成被动语态）。因为该句主语they指代的是cold showers，不是动作的执行者，不能使用进行时态，因此空格处需要填入动词的过去分词形式，构成被动语态。此处意为“一本新书《那些不能杀死我们的事情》________它们（冷水浴）”，即冷水浴被________，故答案为recommended“推荐”。
