问题     According to certain beer commercials , the contemporary version of success【B1】______in moving up to a premium brand that costs a dime or so more per bottle. Credit-card companies would have you【B2】______success inheres in owning their particular piece of plastic.
    【B3】______the flag of success, modern-style, liberal arts colleges are withering【B4】______business schools are burgeoning,and yet even business schools are having an increasingly hard time【B5】______faculty members, because teaching isn’t【B6】______" successful" enough. Amid a broad consensus【B7】______there is a glut of lawyers and an epidemic of strangling litigation, record numbers of young people continue to flock to law school【B8】______, for the individual practitioner, a law degree is still considered a safe ticket.
    Many, by external【B9】______, will be "successes". Yet there is a deadening and dangerous flaw in their philosophy: It has little room, little sympathy and less respect for the noble failure, for the person who【B10】______past the limits, who【B11】______gloriously high and falls unashamedly 【B12】______
    That sort of ambition doesn’t have much place in a world【B13】______success is proved by worldly reward【B14】______by accomplishment itself. That sort of ambition is increasingly thought of as the domain of irredeemable eccentrics,【B15】______people who haven’t quite caught on—and there is great social pressure not to be one of them.
    The irony is that today’s success-chasers seem obsessed with the idea of not settling. Yet in doggedly【B16】______the rather brittle species of success now in fashion, they are【B17】______themselves to a chokingly narrow swath of turf along the entire【B18】______of human possibilities. Does it ever【B19】______to them that, frequently, success is what people settle for【B20】______they can’t think of something noble enough to be worth failing at?
【B17】
选项 A、restricting
B、restraining
C、bounding
D、enclosing
答案A
解析 本题考查近义词辨析。restrict意为“限制，控制”，restrict…to意为“限制在”；restrain意为“限制，抑制”，restrain…from意为“克制……使不”；bound意为“限制”，不与to连用；enclose意为“围在里面，使与世隔绝”，不与to连用。句意是：“……他们把自己限制在令人窒息的一刈之地。”A符合句意和句子结构，是正确答案。
