问题                         Freezing to Death for Beauty
    People in Beijing wear a lot of clothing during winter to fend off(抵御)the cold. In the United States, however, people wear【C1】______,partly because the car is the primary mode of transportation. Cars take【C2】______straight to their workplaces, which are heated well. The American diet is full of calories, so their【C3】______can afford to burn heat more quickly.
    Fewer layers of clothing give people the opportunity to stay【C4】______. Lots of Yale girls wear skirts【C5】______when it’ s 10 degrees Centigrade outside. Some of them at least wear boots, tights,and leg-warmers. Some, however, really just go for the look【C6】______the risk of health. These girls have no pants to protect their【C7】______,and no socks to protect their feet. A mini skirt and a pair of stilettos(细高跟鞋)are all that they wear.
    Typically, the ones pursuing fashion are【C8】______,with little body fat. Just by the nature of their bodies, they are already at a disadvantage compared with normal people in【C9】______ weather. I have always【C10】______, whenever I pass these girls, how they manage to refrain from shivering and just smile like spring had arrived.
    And then there are the guys. The girls can be said to【C11】______health for beauty. But why do guys【C12】______so little? It is not like, once they take off some layers, they suddenly become better-looking. They are not exactly being fashionable when they【C13】______wear sporty (花哨的)shorts and shower slippers in the midst of winter. It’ s not cute(喜人的).
    Of course, people have the freedom to look whatever【C14】______they want. I am just surprised that, given the vast difference between winter and summer temperatures in Connecticut, they can still【C15】______like they are partying on the beach in the middle of February.
【C11】

选项 A、sacrifice
B、hurt
C、suffer
D、cost

答案A

解析 句意:这些女孩可以说是为了美丽牺牲健康。因为美国年轻人在冬天为了时尚而穿得很少,所以她们是“牺牲”保暖,sacrifice sth.for sth.意为“为了……而牺牲……”,故选A。hurt意为“伤害”;suffer意为“遭受”;cost意为“花费”,均排除。
