问题     Psychologist Alfred Adler suggested that the primary goal of the psyche (精神) was superiority. Although【C1】______he believed that individuals struggled to【C2】______superiority over others, Adler eventually developed a more【C3】______definition of the drive for superiority.
    Adler’s【C4】______of striving for superiority does not refer to the everyday meaning of the word superiority. He did not mean that we【C5】______seek to surpass one another in【C6】______or position, nor did he mean that we seek to【C7】______an exaggerated importance over our【C8】______. Rather, Adler’s drive for superiority involves the desire, to be competent and effective, complete and【C9】______, in whatever one strives to do.
    Striving for superiority occasionally takes the【C10】______of an exaggerated lust for power. An individual may seek to play god and exercise【C11】______over objects and people. The goal may introduce a【C12】______tendency into our lives, in which we play games of "dog eat dog". But such【C13】______of the desire for superiority do not reflect its more【C14】______, constructive nature.
    According to Adler, striving for superiority is innate and is part of the struggle for survival that human beings share with other species in the【C15】______of evolution. From this【C16】______, life is not【C17】______by the need to reduce【C18】______or restore equilibrium, as Sigmund Freud tended to think; instead, life is encouraged by the desire to move from below to above, from minus to plus, from【C19】______to superior. The particular ways in which individuals undertakes their【C20】______for superiority are determined by their culture, their unique history, and their style of life.
【C19】
选项 A、inferior
B、descent
C、minimum
D、prestige
答案A
解析 “下等的，下级的；差的，次的”。根据原文的平行结构：“from below to above，from minus to plus”，所以应填“inferior”，与“superior优良的，卓越的；上级的”形成意思上的对比。而B项“下降，降下；斜坡；血统，家世”，C项“最小的，最低”，D项“有威望的；有声望的”均不与“superior”构成对比和平行，不符合题意。
