   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] 【C4】
选项
答案 M
解析 空格前为定冠词the，空格后为介词of，空格处应填入名词。由more likely to believe and vote for people who are attractive“更倾向于相信或投票给长相迷人者”可知人们往往会以貌取人。此处引用诗人席勒的话，是为了说明同样的问题。词库中sign“标志”符合语义：外表美是内在美、精神美和道德美的标志，故选M项。
