Suddenly, everywhere you look, everyone’s taking cold showers. Not literally—that would be weird— but there’s no mistaking a lifestyle trend when you see one. They’re【C1】______in a new book, What Doesn’t Kill Us, which【C2】______the exploits of the Dutch extreme-cold enthusiast (狂热者) Wim Hof, who once spent nearly two hours in an ice bath. In The New York Times, the novelist Ben Dolnick reports that cold showers changed his " entire【C3】______toward the outside world". The benefits include everything from【C4】______immunity to slowing ageing and fighting depression. It’s environmentally better, too, so you’ll feel the warm glow of being moral. Which is fortunate, given that you’re going to be extremely bloody cold.
As someone who has always preferred the cold, and【C5】______the way hot days are considered " good weather" , I’m a natural candidate for the craze. Finding myself sleepy at 5 p. m. —having woken with the baby at 5 a. m. —I tried taking naps,【C6】______that plan, and then started jumping under icy water instead. It worked【C7】______, helping me squeeze out a few more hours of energy. When I took another cold shower before bed, I slept better, too.
But I’ll admit there’s something a little【C8】______about this, as there is with many strategies for "breaking out of your comfort zone". What are we all trying to prove, exactly? It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that behind the desire to【C9】______over extreme cold, there’s a desire to somehow conquer yourself. Since both participants in this wrestling match, as you may have noticed, are you. The far more likely result is just more【C10】______conflict.
A) abandoned I) inner
B) boosting J) intelligently
C) brilliantly K) overcome
D) charts L) recommended
E) disposition M) resents
F) exciting N) self-punishing
G) goal O) triumph
H) initial [br] 【C2】
选项
答案
D
解析
空格处于which引导的非限制性定语从句中,先行词是a new book,宾语是the exploits,所以此处应填入动词第三人称单数形式作谓语。此处意为“该书______荷兰极冷狂热者维姆-霍夫的英勇事迹”。备选项中只有charts“记录,跟踪”符合该语境,故为答案。
