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.

选项
A、even
B、though
C、unless
D、if
答案
C
解析
语义逻辑题。此句意思是:对多数人来讲,追求幸福的方式过于抽象和理论化,除非……。从从句的引导词上判断,连词unless“除非”是最佳选择。even和though引导让步状语从句,if引导条件从句,而此处需要的是“除非有什么条件”,因此选unless。
