People in sunny, outdoorsy states—Louisiana, Hawaii, Florida—say they are the happiest Americans, and researchers think they know why. A new study comparing self-described pleasant feelings with【C1】______measures of good living found these folks【C2】______have reason to feel fine.
The places where people are most【C3】______to report happiness also tend to rate high on studies【C4】______things like climate, crime rates, air quality and schools. The happiness ratings were【C5】______on a survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It used data【C6】______over four years that included a question asking people how satisfied they are【C7】______their lives.
Economists Andrew J. Oswald of the University of Warwick in England and Stephen Wu of Hamilton College in Clinton, N. Y., compared the happiness ranking with studies that【C8】______states on a variety of criteria【C9】______from availability of public land to commuting time to local taxes.
Probably not surprisingly, their report found the happiest people【C10】______to live in the states that do well in quality-of-life studies. Rounding out the happy four were Hawaii, Florida, Tennessee and Arizona. At the other end of the【C11】______, last in happiness—is New York State. As if to【C12】______the problem as soon as possible, residents【C13】______a meeting on Wednesday in rural Queensbury unleashed (宣泄) their anger and cynicism at a state government they described as【C14】______, self-dealing and too quick to【C15】______taxes.
Oswald suggested the long commutes, congestion and high prices around New York City【C16】______for some of the unhappiness. "I am only a little surprised," he said. "Many people think these states would be【C17】______places to live in. The problem is【C18】______too many individuals think that way, they will【C19】______, to those states, and the【C20】______congestion and house prices make it a non-fulfilling prediction. "
【C20】
选项
A、following
B、leading
C、shocking
D、resulting
答案
D
解析
形容词辨析题。上半句提到,过多的人迁居到这些州,本部分承接上面提到由此引发的问题:交通堵塞和高房价,由此可见两句之间存在因果关系,因此D)resulting“作为结果的,因而发生的”符合句意。A)following“下列的”;B)leading“最好的”;C)shocking“惊人的”。
