   Research has shown that—in both sexes and across numerous cultures—attractive people are judged to be smarter, kinder, more honest and 【C1】______.
   With some regularity we hear about the latest beauty contestant who has responded to a simple question with an epic fail of a mistake, a bizarre opinion or a (n)【C2】______ ramble (闲扯). Ridiculous. But what’s even more ridiculous is that our brains 【C3】______ us toward believing such people—just because they’re charming. The German poet Friedrich Schiller wrote, "Physical beauty is the 【C4】______ of an interior beauty, a spiritual and moral beauty." In politics, we are also more likely to believe and vote for people who are attractive. And when it comes to blind justice, numerous studies discovered that more attractive individuals are less likely to be 【C5】______ of crimes and, if so, receive shorter-than-average sentences for the crime.
   Why should this be? Some have suggested that since it is pleasurable to meet someone attractive and someone good and honest, we 【C6】______ merge the two. But this convergence (融合)of rewarding experiences seems 【C7】______.
   Work by two researchers in Duke University shows something more convincing: one part of the brain is 【C8】______ in rating both the beauty of a face and the goodness of a behavior, and the level of activity in that region during one of those tasks predicts the level during the other. In other words, the brain does similar things when contemplating beautiful minds, hearts or cheekbones. It’s a discouraging 【C9】______. But there’s also some good news in this story: The brain can get confused in both directions. That is to say, the same neural wiring that gives rise to "What is beautiful is good" also 【C10】______ "What is good is beautiful." [br] 【C7】

选项

答案 F

解析 空格前为系动词seems,空格处可填入形容词、分词或名词作表语。空格前一句提到,由于遇见长相迷人者和品德优良诚实者都令人愉快,我们会把这二者混为一谈。由空格所在句中表语义转折的But推测,本句应不赞同这种说法。dubious“可疑的;不可靠的”符合语义:将美妙经历混为一体的说法似乎并不让人信服,与引出下文杜克大学研究人员更加令人信服的发现(shows something more convincing)呼应,故选F项。relevant“有关的,切题的”填入句子,前后语义不连贯,故排除。
