问题 No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often【C1】______ the late Duchess of Windsor【C2】______ much of the odd spirit of our times. Being thin is【C3】______as such a virtue.
The problem with such a view is that some people actually【C4】______ to live by it. I myself have fantasies of 【C5】______narrow designer clothes. Consequently, I have been【C6】______. When did we【C7】______ the tradition? When did eating butter become a sin, and a little bit of extra flesh【C8】______? All religions have certain days when people 【C9】______eating, and one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins is【C10】______eating. However, until quite recently, most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a【C11】______ of probable salvation and high morals, and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.
Today the【C12】______is true. We have【C13】______ thinness as our new mark of virtue. The result is that being fat—or even only somewhat overweight—is bad because it implies a lack of moral strength. Our obsession with thinness is also【C14】______ by health concerns. It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before, and that being overweight【C15】______ an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These diseases,【C16】______, may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets【C17】______ with excess weight.
The real【C18】______is not that we weigh too much,【C19】______ that we neither exercise enough nor eat well. Exercise is necessary for strong bones and heart health. A【C20】______diet without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so much attention to weight. [br] 【C18】

选项 A、conviction
B、controversy
C、concern
D、contention

答案 C

解析名词辨析题。原句中“that we weigh too much’和“that we neither exerciseenough nor eat well”是说明空格的意思的，显然这是一种担心，故选择[C]concern。[A]conviction“定罪，信服，坚信”；[B]controversy“矛盾”；[D]contention“争论，争辩，所持的论点”。
