In America, the middle classes, and even the well-paid working class, have "pursued happiness" according to the prescription of the Declaration of Independence. But in recent years it has become more and more evident that this pursuit has led to a "brave new world" of consumer goods and services. And, as in Aldous Huxley’s great novel of that name, this world took over, not just the body, but the spirit of man. Not only does the modern man buy material junk at the supermarket, he buys spiritual junk from the movies and television, those supermarkets of the soul. Man is now "happy" by definition; but whether this is the happiness which the rebels of 1776 had in mind is a moot(争论未决的) point.
It is certainly not the happiness sought by the rebels of 1960’s. They consider it a form of consciousness too narrow to be dignified with the word "human", and so have initiated an era of significant, if symbolic, protest. Although hairdos and clothing, drugs and rock music are hardly, in themselves, worth a fight to death, for the rebels of the 60’s, they have become symbols of more than just a life style. They have become symbols of another life, the essential life of human beings, the life of their deep affections and soaring thoughts.
选项
A、has led to a "brave new world"
B、was prescribed by the Declaration of Independence
C、has brought the happiness envisioned in the Declaration of Independence
D、has made Americans happy "by definition"
答案
C
解析
作者对“幸福的追求”是否带来了《独立宣言》设想的幸福提出质疑。A不对。a brave new world指的是物质世界。B不对。作者不否认“对幸福的追求”是《独立宣言》的规定;D是作者的观点,即美国人得到的只是概念上的幸福(happiness by definition)。
