    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. Chinese redwood furniture was designed for people to sit upright in, because that was the only posture【C4】________by society.
    Even Chinese emperors had to sit on a throne on which I would not think of remaining for more than five minutes, and for that matter the English kings were just as badly off. Cleopatra went about【C5】________ on a couch carried by servants, because【C6】________ she had never heard of Confucius. If Confucius should have seen her doing that, he would certainly have【C7】________ her shins with a stick, as he did to one of his old disciples, Yuan Yan, when the latter was found sitting in an【C8】________posture. In the Confucian society in which we lived, gentlemen and ladies had to【C9】________ themselves perfectly erect, at least on formal occasions, and any sign of putting one’s leg up would be at once considered a sign of vulgarity and lack of【C10】________.

选项
答案 G
解析 空格前为their own，而空格后为bodies，因此空格处应填入形容词作定语，修饰bodies。空格前提到西方妇女不经常洗澡(did not take frequent baths)，洗澡的时候身体是裸露的，因此推断西方妇女应该是害怕看自己的“裸体”，词库中的形容词naked“赤裸的”符合句意。词库中的disgraceful“羞耻的；不光彩的”和imperfect“不完美的”有一定迷惑性。但disgraceful用于描述行为或情形，与此处语境不符；另外。此处讲的是一种普遍情况，因此不能说那个时代所有女性的身体都是有缺陷的，故imperfect也不符合此处的语义逻辑。
