选项 A、ideal
B、image
C、stereotype
D、criterion

答案A

解析 本题考查名词的词义辨析。空格处填入的名词是a narrowly defined standard of attractive的同位语;空格后that引导的定语从句对该词进行了解释说明,即“包含着对外形的不切实际的期望”。ideal作名词时可指an idea or standard that seems perfect,and worth trying to achieve or obtain(理想,看似完美的思想和标准),符合文意需要,即狭隘的“美”的标准是不切实际的,是一种难以达到的完美标准。因此A选项正确。
