【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】解析：语义关系题。本题这一个空后面有and一词，可判定and前后两个词有并列的关系。everlasting的意思是“永恒的”，本句的意思是“在人的一生中，幸福的实现可以看作我们的______目标和永恒目标。”能修饰目标一词，且与everlasting意思并列的词只有ultimate(终极的)。[A]的意思是“当代的”，所表达的含义与everlasting相反；[C] “平凡的”和[D] “静止的”，均不符合文意。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】解析：语义关系题。本句是对“幸福”做出解释，所表达的基本结构是“幸福不仅仅是……而是……”。根据逻辑关系，“不仅仅是”后面跟的应该是表示光鲜亮丽的一些事物，villa的含义是“别墅”，备选词中[A]“过渡的”，[B]“遥远的”，[C]“宏伟华丽的”，[D]“可悲的”，只有[C]符合。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】解析：介词理解题。本题考查介词的理解，不同的介词所使用的语境通常有所不同；[A]通常表示“通过……”或者“使用某种方式”；[B]通常界定范围，表示“在……中”；[C]通常表示“为了……”；[D]通常表示“大约”或者“关于”。本句的含义是“然而，我们可以______科学的方法来研究幸福。”本句和上句的逻辑关系是转折，上句说幸福是我们发自内心需要的东西，故可以判定本句表达的意思应是尽管幸福是与内心相关的，但是可以通过科学的方法来研究，故答案选[A]。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】解析：词义辨析题。看句子结构，difficult to answer accurately修饰本题所在的空格。[B]guide“指导”一词不能与answer搭配。再看句意“当我们被问到‘我们在哪里能找到幸福’这个问题时，我们很难准确地回答这个______。”由此可知，空格应是表达“问题”这一含义的词，故答案选puzzle“谜题”。[C]“怀疑”，[D]“进退两难的境地”，都不符合。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】解析：语义关系题。本句与上句存在转折的关系，上句的意思是“要实现我们每个人所追求和渴望的那种幸福，我们要靠自己去寻找方法和途径。”本句则表达，获得幸福没有一个绝对的方法，空格一词应该填动词，后接宾语从句。[A]接宾语从句的搭配应该是remind sb．that…，故排除；[B]“回复”意思不符合；[C]“团聚”，后面通常不接宾语从句；[D]“认识到”放在句中，意思是“然而，我们必须认识到，获得幸福没有一个绝对的方法”，符合文意。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】解析：语义关系题。five一词说明该空格是对本句最后面family and friends，wealth，position，educational achievement and fame(家庭和朋友、财富、地位、教育成就和名望)的总括，故应选[A]classifications“分类”。其他选项[B]“结论”，[C]“热情”，[D]“阶梯”，均不符合句意，不能起到概述的作用。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】解析：语义关系题。最后一段采取了总分式的写作结构，主题句是There are many ways to be happy(快乐的方式有很多种)。第一种方式就是，花时间和你心爱的人在一起。由此可知，There is nothing more______than to be with the people you love．空格处应该填一个表示积极情绪的词。[B]“糟糕的”，[C]“勤奋的”，[D]“痛苦的”，都不符合。
