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、frustrating
B、surprising
C、unchanging
D、increasing
答案D
解析 备选项中A：令人丧气的；B：惊人的；C：一成不变的；D：越来越……。依据所给选项可知该题考查的是形容词的辨析，空缺处与被强调的部分属于同位关系，用来说明inability，所以D为正确答案，选项A和B均带有感情色彩，如果只用来修饰inability，而在与inability并列的dependence前却没有用任何带感情色彩的修饰语，显得不合乎情理。选项C表示瘾君子一直都感觉不吸毒不喝酒不行，但在逻辑上瘾君子的这种感觉是从无到有，从小到大的。所以答案是D。
