    There is a closer relationship between morals and architecture and interior decoration than we suspect. Huxley has pointed out that Western ladies did not take frequent baths because they were afraid to see their own【C1】______ bodies, and this moral concept delayed the【C2】______ of the modern white-enameled bathtub for centuries. One can understand, why in the design of old Chinese furniture there was so little【C3】______ for human comfort only when we realize the Confucian atmosphere in which people moved about.

选项

答案K

解析 空格前的the提示空格处应填入名词,作delayed的宾语,同时被of the modern white-enameledbathtub修饰。this moral concept指的是西方妇女由于害怕看自己的身体而不经常洗澡,这种道德观念肯定会对现代白色搪瓷浴缸的发展起阻碍作用,因此空格应填入与“发展”近义的词,词库中的rise“兴起”符合语境。
