问题     Psychologist Alfred Adler suggested that the primary goal of the psyche (精神) was superiority. Although【1】he believed that individuals struggled to【2】superiority over others, Adler eventually developed a more【3】definition of the drive for superiority.
    Adler’s【4】of striving for superiority does not refer to the everyday meaning of he word superiority. He did not mean that we【5】seek to surpass one another in【6】or position, nor did he mean that we seek to【7】an exaggerated importance over our【8】.
    Rather, Adler’s drive for superiority involves the desire, to be competent and effective, complete and【9】, in whatever one strives to do.
    Striving for superiority occasionally takes the【10】of an exaggerated lust for power. An individual may seek to play god and exercise【11】over objects and people. The goal may introduce a【12】tendency into our lives, in which we play games of "dog eat dog". But such【13】of the desire for superiority do not reflect its more【14】, 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【15】of evolution. From this【16】, life is not【17】by the need to reduce【18】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【19】to superior. The particular ways in which individuals undertakes their【20】for superiority are determined by their culture, their unique history, and their style of life.
选项 A、maintain
B、highlight
C、reassure
D、subscribe
答案A
解析 选项A表示“保持；维持”。maintain有“维护”某种事物以使之“保持”正常状态的意思。根据上下文，上文提到了“primary最初的，根本的”，下文又提到“nor did he mean that we seek to‘maintain保持，维持’这种最初的精神的目的”，所以选择“maintain”。而选项B“使显著，使突出；强调”，选项C“向……再保证”，选项D“同意(一种理论、学派等)”均不符合题意。
