It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. This is only true if you pursue it【C1】______. Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead,【C2】______there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed.【C3】______it is with happiness. If you pursue it by【C4】______of drink, you are forgetting the hangover(宿醉). Greek philosopher Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial(趣味相投的)society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. His method【C5】______successful in his case, but he was a sick and weak man, and most people would need something more【C6】______. For most people, the pursuit of happiness,【C7】______supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should, except in rare and heroic cases, be compatible【C8】______happiness.
There are a great many people who have all the【C9】______conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who,【C10】______. are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the【C11】______must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one【C12】______. we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on【C13】______. and are happy as long as external conditions are【C14】______. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an【C15】______night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies,【C16】______in English-speaking societies, this is too【C17】______to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount(最高的)objective, and【C18】______all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private【C19】______. When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except harrying(折磨)other people by exhortations(训词)to【C20】______his noble example. [br] 【C18】
选项
A、hinder
B、restrain
C、refrain
D、prevent
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。结合语境,下面提到商人为了变得富有而牺牲自己的健康,失去快乐,由此可推断出,为了追求物质上的富有,对所有不利于实现这些目标的冲动和本能他们都会克制,故答案为[B]restrain“抑制,遏制”。文中的minister to sth.为习惯搭配,意为“对…有帮助”。[A]hinder意为“阻碍,妨碍”;[C]refrain是强干扰项,它当“抑制,克制”讲时为不及物动词,需要和from连用;[D]prevent意为“预防,防止”,人的冲动是无法防止的,只能是克制。
