It is a commonplace among moralists that you cannot get happiness by pursuing it. 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).

But I think that 【C8】______ personal rule of life you may choose it should not, except in rare and heroic cases, be 【C9】______ with happiness.
There are a great many people who have all the 【C10】______ conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who, 【C11】______ , are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the 【C12】______ must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one sense, we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong.

【C16】
选项
A、abrupt
B、absurd
C、acute
D、apt
答案
D
解析
词义辨析和搭配。本句的意思是:人的需要比猫的复杂得多,但这些需要也是以自然的本能作基础,而在文明社会,这一点却往往……被人忘记。此处的形容词结构是be apt to“倾向于,容易”。abrupt“突然的”;absurd“愚蠢的”;acute“严重的”,这三个词都不能用在此结构中。
