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】______
【B8】
选项
答案
aspiration
解析
语境同现题。空格后是level,空格处应填入一个可以修饰level的形容词或名词。根据下文讲述收入增加与期望值增加对幸福感的影响之间的关系可知,此空所在分句要表达“人们的期望值升高了”之意。由此可知.空格处单词应该具有“期望,期盼”之意。结合录音,不难填入aspiration。
