Living standards have soared during the 21st century, and economists expect them to continue rising in the decades ahead. Does that mean that we humans can look forward to【B1】______happiness?

选项
答案
raising
解析
语义推断题。空格前是lookforward to,所以空格处动词要使用现在分词形式。一般认为生活水平的提高意味着幸福指数的上升。由此可知,空格处单词应该具有“上升,增长,增加”之意。结合录音,不难填入raising。
