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】______.

选项
答案
accompanied
解析
语义推断题。空格前是been,空格后是by,空格处应填入动词的过去分词形式构成被动语态。前面提到经济稳步发展,后面提到人们幸福感稳步发展,由此可知,空格处单词应该具有“随着,伴随”之意。结合录音可知,答案为accompanied。
