答题依据主要在第二段。该段指出要理解幸福是什么对于政治家来说是一个“notoriously difficult subject”，这有两方面的原因，其中之一是“happiness and well-being are generally not well served by statistical analysis”。因此A项与文章内容相符。

A:for
B:to
C:of
D:if答案：A解析：由于上文说到通货膨胀是一个“阶段”，因此这里需要填写一个表示时间的关联词。本句意思是“当你用同样的钱买到的东西比以前少的时候，通货膨胀就发生了。” 因此选D。
根据句子关系和词语提示，本句上半句中的fewer可作提示词，less是lit-tie的比较形式，与fewer相配。下句中的“your money buys less”是更直接的提示。因此选D。
根据词语搭配和上下文线索提示。介词in与相应的名词搭配使用表示 “在……方面增长或减少”。本段第二句有类似的表达that causes rapid rises in prices。
根据上下文意思和词语逻辑，这里需要一个表示“最大”含义的词。本句意思为“依赖固定收入的人受影响最大”。因此选C。
根据词语习惯搭配。meet one's needs满足需要。本句意思是“不再工作的老年人在通货膨胀时期要想靠工资满足需求”。因此选A。
根据句子的逻辑。retirement income属于fixed income, or连接两个前后表达属于同类范畴的词。本句意思是“退休金和其他固定的收入通常没有物价上涨得快”。因此选A。
根据上下文含义和句子逻辑，本句需要填一个表示“跟上”的词，因此要选keep up with。本句意思是“很多退休的人必须削减一些开支来跟上上涨的物价”。因此选D。
根据上下文意思和词语用法，stop后面接动名词表示“不再做某事”，这句话的意思是“很多情况下他们不再买一些生活必需品”。因此选B。
根据语法逻辑，本句是状语部分前置，正常语序是：Inflation can be a problem even for working people whose incomes are going up.for指“对于……来说”。本句意思是 “甚至对于那些有工作，工资在上涨的人来说，通货膨胀也是一个问题”。
根据词语搭配和上下文意思，选cost成本，本句意思是“生活成本上升了，工作的人们必须花更多的钱来保证自己的生活质量”。
keep pace with指“跟上”，与keep up with同义。本句意思是“当工资和物价上涨不同步时，生活质量就下降”。因此选B。
此空填的是由from加which引导的定语从句，本句意思是“政府机构收集经济生活中的价格信息，将它发布成为消费指数，通过这样，比率的变化就可以确定”。因此选B。
given在这里指“给定的、一定的”，符合题目要求。本句意思是“通过将特定的某一年的价格作为基数就可以衡量物价的变化”。
根据词语搭配和上下文线索选percentage百分比。本句意思是“其他物价按照这个基数变为一个百分比数字”。
根据语法原则选it。 it在这里是形式宾语，代替不定式to compare current prices of typical consumer goods with prices of the same goods in previous years。本句意思是“消费指数能够将某种商品的目前价格与往年的做比较”。 -
