问题     When we think about addiction to drugs or alcohol, we frequently focus on negative aspects, ignoring the pleasures that accompany drinking or drug-taking. 46 the essence of any serious addiction is a pursuit of pleasure, a search for a "high" that normal life does not 47 . It is only the inability to function without the addictive substance that is dismaying, the dependence of the organism upon a certain experience and a (n) 48 inability to function normally without it. Thus a person will take two or three drinks at the end of the day not merely for the pleasure drinking provides, but also because he "doesn’ t feel 49 " without them.
    An addict does not merely pursue a pleasurable experience and need to 50 it in order to function normally. He needs to repeat it again and again. Something about that particular experience makes life without it 51 complete. Other potentially pleasurable experiences are no longer possible, 52 under the spell of the addictive experience, his life is peculiarly distorted. The addict craves an experience and yet he is never really satisfied. The organism may be 53 sated, but soon it begins to crave again.
    Finally a serious addiction is distinguished a harmless pursuit of pleasure by its distinctly destructive elements. A heroin addict, for instance, leads a 54 life: his increasing need for heroin in increasing doses prevents him from working, from maintaining relationships, from developing in human ways. 55 an alcoholic’ s life is narrowed and dehumanized by his dependence on alcohol.
选项 A、Hence
B、Because
C、And yet
D、Moreover
答案C
解析 备选项中A：表示因果关系；B：同样表示因果关系；C：表示转折关系的；D：表示递进关系。依据题意可知此处考查的是连接关系，依据第一句we frequently focus on negative aspects，可知该句表达的意思是追求快乐，然后又与之相反，所以选C，表示转折。
