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] 【B1】
选项
答案
raising
解析
语义推断题。空格前是look forward 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。结合录音可知,答案为raising。
