【答案与解析】46—50ACBDA

本文是一篇议论文，阐述了幸福的获得这一严肃话题，试图澄清人们在幸福问题上的一些误

解。

46．A。细节理解题。本题要求学生判断单身汉拒绝结婚的主要原因。依据文章第3段第1

行“Askabachelorwhyheresistsmarriageeventhoughhefindsdatingtobeless

honesthewilltellyouthatheisafraidofmaking

amitment”（……害怕作出对义务的承诺，即不愿承担义务）。A项与之等同，故正确。

47．C。推理判断题。依据文章第4自然段第1句“带有婴儿的父母要是能睡上一整晚

觉或度一个三天的假日，那真是太幸运了。在我认识的人中，不会有人用fun（好玩）来描

述他们抚养孩子的感受”，似乎会认为作者的意图是B项（出力不讨好，毫无回报的事）或

D项（不可避免的痛苦来源）。实际上，作者真实想法应在第2句中体现：但是决定不生孩

子的夫妻永远也体会不到看着孩子成长以及和孙子玩耍的那种乐趣、那种欣喜。这种乐趣、

欣喜实际就是一种回报。所以选项C正确。

48．B。推理判断题。依据文章最后一句“Anditliberatesusfromenvy：wenow

understandthatallthowhoarealwayshavingsomuchfunactuallymaynotbehappy

atall.”说明：我们现在的这种理解就可免除嫉妒，那么反过来，嫉妒产生于我们的理解

不当，即misunderstanding，故选项B正确。

49．D。推理判断题。依据文章第一自然段第1句“Thewaypeopleholdtothebelief

thatafun-filled,painfreelifeequalshappinessactuallyreducestheirchances

ofeverattainingrealhappiness”（人们坚持充满趣味、毫无痛苦的生活就等于幸福这

一信条实际上减少了他们获得真正幸福的可能性）。再依据文章最后一句“…allthowho

arealwayshavingsomuchfunactuallymaynotbehappyatall”（……生活中总是

有如此多的fun的人实际上也许一点都不幸福）。可以看出要理解真正的幸福是什么就必须

把fun和happiness区分开来。因为两者绝不等同。故选项D正确。C项应该是回答“怎样

才能获得真正的幸福”这一问题，且作者并没在文中明确提到获得快乐就必须在任何情况下

都忍受痛苦。

50．A。主旨大意题。作者的意图出现在第一自然段最后一句：“Butinfact，theopposite

istrue：moreoftenthannotthingsthatleadtohappinessinvolvesomepain”（但

事实上，导致你幸福的事情多半伴随着痛苦），故选项A符合题意。
