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.

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] 【C5】

选项

答案 D

解析空格前为系动词be，空格后为介词of，空格处可填入形容词，也可填入动词过去分词构成被动语态。空格后的sentences for the crime“刑期”提示，本句讲blind justice的审判定罪的情况，词库中convicted语义符合，convict sb．of sth．意为“某人被判……罪”，故选D项。
