    Sitting in the theatre I had to look through the【C2】________ between the two tall heads in front of me. I had to keep changing the angle every time she leaned over to talk to him, or he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans display such【C3】________ in a public place?

选项

答案H

解析 此处结构为prefer A to B“喜欢A更胜于B”,to为介词,因此空格处需填入名词或动名词。preferring后面的that即指代前面所说的这种一言不发的情景,根据prefer…to…的意思,可知to后面应表示“说话”的情况。词库中的uttering和speaking都有“说,讲”之意,但空格后有介词in,表明需填不及物动词,故可排除及物动词uttering,选speaking。
