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). Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial society and eating only dry bread, 【C4】______ by a little cheese on feast days.

选项
A、vulnerable
B、conceivable
C、endurable
D、favorable
答案
D
解析
词义辨析。本句意为:动物靠本能的冲动生活,只要外部条件……,它们就幸福。由此可推断此处的形容词应表示“对它有利的”的意思,所以选择favorable“有利的”。vulnerable“易受攻击的”;conceivable“可以想象出的”;endurable“可忍受的”。
