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、while
B、thus
C、even if
D、for
答案D
解析 备选项中A：表示与主句动作同时发生的情况，例：Schubert reach the acme of his skill while quite young．(舒伯特的技巧在他十分年轻时即已达顶峰。)；B：用来连接从句，表示结果；C：表示的是让步关系；D：表示原因。依据题意与吸毒或酗酒相比的其他令人快乐的经历再也不可能了，从句的意思是在这种上瘾的经历的魔力吸引下，他(瘾君子)的生活……，句间表明的是连接关系，因此该空应选一个引导从句的连接词，所以D为正确答案。
