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、eventually
B、temporarily
C、accordingly
D、subsequently

答案B

解析 备选项中A:最终;B:暂时地;C:因此而……;D:之后……。依据上下文,第一句为总结句,意思是严重的上瘾因其具有明显的毁灭性是与其他追求快乐的行为有区别的。紧接着的两句意思是海洛因吸食者的生活遭到了极大的毁坏——他越来越离不开海洛因,剂量越来越大,使得他不能工作,郊游,不能从事正常人的活动。同样,酗酒者的生活也因其对酒精的依赖而变得狭窄和失去人性,句中but表示转折关系,下一句的soon(很快),空格表达的应是暂时关系,而不是终结关系,所以答案是B。
