    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.

选项

答案 L

解析 此处应填入名词,作介词of的宾语。由并列连词and推断,lack of________和a sign of vulgarity表达的意思相近,lack of…意为“缺乏……”,有否定之义,因此空格处应填入和vulgarity相反的名词,词库中culture“修养”一词符合语境。干扰项ignorance“无知,愚昧”与vulgarity意义相近,代入之后与文意正好相反,故排除。
