The English national character is dualistic: One aspect is conservative, the other extroverted(性格外向的). The pub is a fine example of the conservative aspect of English character. The pub, unlike the bar in the U.S., is a focal【C1】______for the "locals." One goes to the pub for the same reasons one used to go to church: for fellowship and spiritual【C2】______. There is nothing flashy or plastic about most pubs. Many look like one’s living room, full of soft chairs, couches, a fireplace, and bright lights. The pubs keep【C3】______hours, too. There are no all-night or 3 A.M. public bars. When the pubs close everyone goes home. The pub represents【C4】______with control and in good taste.
This control is【C5】______in English humor. Most Americans find nothing【C6】______in English comedy shows, since English humor is word oriented while American humor is more action oriented. The same control that is found in English pubs and humor is also found in the English【C7】______of living. Where else does one stand in line quietly for the bus or the taxi?
However, there is another side to the English Character—the【C8】______, the adventurous, and the innovative. It was not the U.S. but conservative England that produced the Beatles with their long hair and sounds that have【C9】______a decade of rock musicians and adolescents.
The English are innovators and experimenters in many areas: A. S. Neill’s Summerhill has become the model for progressive education. R. D. Laing claims that it is not the individual who is insane but his society, which【C10】______categorizes him and forces him to fit into abstract norms.
A)concrete E)influenced I)funny M)orthodox
B)enlightenment F)indignantly J)pace N)constantly
C)bizarre G)point K)perception O)exemplified
D)pleasure H)amplified L)respectable [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
D
解析
此处需填入名词,为represents的宾语。从上文提及的英国人的酒吧生活和酒吧的营业时间,可知pleasure符合上下文语义,表示酒吧代表了有节制、有品味的娱乐方式。
