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] 【B7】
选项
答案
satisfied
解析
语义推断题。空格前是less,空格处应填入形容词。上文提到在美国近半个世纪以来人们的平均幸福指数并没有上升,而下文又提到income,因此不难猜测,人们对收入有些不满。由此可知,空格处单词应该具有“满意”之意。结合录音,不难填入satisfied。
