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,【C2】______there are other ways of pursuing money, which often succeed.【C3】______it is with happiness. If you pursue it by【C4】______of drink, you are forgetting the hang-over (宿醉). Greek philosopher Epicurus pursued it by living only in congenial (趣味相投的) society and eating only dry bread, supplemented by a little cheese on feast days. His method【C5】______successful in his case, but he was a sick and weak man, and most people would need something more【C6】______. For most people, the pursuit of happiness,【C7】______supplemented in various ways, is too abstract and theoretical to be adequate as a personal rule of life. But I think that whatever personal rule of life you may choose it should, except in rare and heroic cases, be compatible【C8】______happiness.
There are a great many people who have all the【C9】______conditions of happiness, i.e. health and a sufficient income, and who,【C10】______. are profoundly unhappy. In such cases it would seem as if the【C11】______must lie with a wrong theory as to how to live. In one【C12】______. we may say that any theory as to how to live is wrong. We imagine ourselves more different from the animals than we are. Animals live on【C13】______, and are happy as long as external conditions are【C14】______. If you have a cat it will enjoy life if it has food and warmth and opportunities for an【C15】______night on the tiles. Your needs are more complex than those of your cat, but they still have their basis in instinct. In civilized societies,【C16】______in English-speaking societies, this is too【C17】______to be forgotten. People propose to themselves some one paramount (最 高的) objective, and【C18】______all impulses that do not minister to it. A businessman may be so anxious to grow rich that to this end he sacrifices health and private【C19】______. When at last he has become rich, no pleasure remains to him except harrying (折磨 ) other people by exhortations (训词) to【C20】______his noble example.
【C15】
选项
A、uncommon
B、occasional
C、incidental
D、accidental
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。结合语境,文中提到如果猫有食物吃,感到温暖,有机会…晚上出去寻欢就会感到快乐。既然是有机会出去寻欢,那就意味着它不是经常出去,故答案为[B]occasional“偶尔的,间或发生的”,强调频率。[A]uncommon意为“不寻常的,罕见的”;[C]incidental和[D]accidental虽然都有“偶然”的意思,但这两个词强调事情的发生出乎意料。
