问题     Many indigenous cultures have elaborate rituals that mark the【C1】______from childhood to adulthood. In some African cultures, teenage boys are subject to horrendously difficult physical tasks such as being buried up to their shoulders as fire ants feast on their defenceless faces. In modern societies, such rites of passage also exist. Jews【C2】______the boy becoming a man by having a Barmitzvah. This celebration is as big and important as a wedding and is【C3】______by the entire community. Other cultures mark the end of the teen years in a more relaxed manner such as graduating from high school or earning one’ s first driver’s【C4】______.
    Young people are known to be moody, insecure, argumentative, impulsive, reckless and【C5】______. Teenagers are also characterized by odd sleeping patterns, awkward growth spurts, acne and snobbish behaviour. Most teenager’s rooms are filled with posters of their idols to whom they profess their undying devotion.【C6】______more often than not, these idols tend to fuel teenagers’ rebellious natures. Given these【C7】______, teenagers are obviously at higher risk for all types of destructive behaviour from being unable to read social cues to engaging in physically risky activities such as driving too fast and【C8】______alcohol.
    Science has taught us that most other animals, apes and human ancestors included, skip that stage altogether, developing rapidly from infancy to full【C9】______. A puppy relies on its mother for nurturing and milk. Within some weeks, that same puppy, now an adult dog, is able to reproduce her own off-spring. Humans, in【C10】______, have a very puzzling four-year gap between sexual maturity and prime reproductive age.
A)rebellious B)adulthood C)childhood D)carefree
E)transition F)Unfortunately G)consuming H)attended
I)characteristics J)exposed K)celebrate L)continuously
M)contrast N)appealing O)license
【C10】
选项
答案M
解析 此空需联系上下文，推断逻辑关系。此句前，讲其他动物大多会跳过青春期。这一句说人类有四年令人费解的间隔期。固定结构“in contrast”表示“相对来说”，且对比不同之处。符合逻辑关系，表示对比。因此，正确答案是M。
