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? Not necessarily, Richard, an economist at the University of Southern California, in his new book says that richer people are more likely to 【B2】______ themselves as being happy than poorer people are. But steady 【B3】______in the American economy have not been 【B4】______by steady and continuous increases in most people’s 【B5】______of their own happiness. There has been not progress in average happiness in the United States over almost a half century.
The explanation for this 【B6】______may be that more and more people become less 【B7】______over time with a given level of income. As incomes rise, the 【B8】______level does too, and 【B9】______. "Money can buy happiness," Richard says, "People can feel happier only if one’s amounts get bigger and other people aren’t getting more." We might paraphrase his words as follows: 【B10】______.
The future, then, to which the epoch of modern economic growth is leading, is one of never ending economic growth, a world in which ever growing abundance is matched by ever rising aspirations. In the end, 【B11】______. [br] 【B3】
选项
答案
improvements
解析
语义推断题。空格前为形容词,可知空格后应填入名词。下句指出,在几乎半个世纪以来,美国人的平均幸福感并没有任何发展。由此可知,本句是指,虽然美国经济稳步增长,但是大部分人的幸福感并没有增长,空格处应填入表示“发展”或者“进步”意义的词。结合录音可知,答案为improvements。
