This is only true if you pursue it 【C1】______ Gamblers at Monte Carlo are pursuing money, and most of them lose it instead, but there are other ways of pursuing money, which often 【C2】______ So it is with happiness. If you pursue it 【C3】______ drink, you are forgetting the hang-over (宿醉).

选项
A、extravagant
B、deficient
C、excessive
D、adequate
答案
D
解析
词义辨析。此题可用排除法,extravagant“奢侈的”,excessive“过多的”,这两个词不符合句意,可先排除。deficient“不足的”,指某种物质缺乏,也不符合。因此D为正确答案。本句意为:这种方法过于抽象和理论化,以至于不能被当作个人生活的规则。
