问题     Do people get happier or more foul-tempered as they age? Stereotypes of irritable neighbors【B1】______, scientists have been trying to answer this question for decades, and the results have been 【B2】______. Now a study of several thousand Americans born between 1885 and 1980 reveals that well-being 【B3】______ increases with age but overall happiness【B4】______when a person was born.
    【B5】______studies that have【B6】______older adults with the middle-aged and young have sometimes found that older adults are not as happy. But these studies could not【B7】______whether their 【B8】______ was because of their age or be cause of their 【B9】______ life experience. The new study, published online January 24 in Psychological Science,【B10】______out the answer by examining 30 years of data on thousands of Americans, including【B11】______measures of mood and well-being, reports of job and relationship success, and objective measures of health.
    The researchers found, after controlling for variables【B12】______health, wealth, gender, ethnicity and education, that well-being increases over everyone’s lifetime.【B13】______people who have lived through extreme hardship, such as the Great Depression,【B14】______much less happy than those who have had more【B15】______lives. This finding helps to【B16】______why past studies have found conflicting results—experi-ence【B17】______, and tough times can【B18】______an entire generation’s happiness for the rest of their lives. The【B19】______news is,【B20】______we’ve lived through, we can all look forward to feeling more content as we age.
【B6】
选项 A、related
B、compared
C、matched
D、associated
答案B
解析 考查动词辨析。本句指出：之前有研究将老年人与中年人和年轻人进行了______，发现老年人不如后两者那样幸福。所以空格处填入的动词应与with搭配，表达对比。只有compare with指对事物之间的相同和相异之处进行比较，代入文中指对老年人与中年人、年轻人的幸福感的比较，故B．compared为正确选项。relate with意为“同…联系起来”，match with指“找到或使…能相匹配，相适应，使与…竞争或较量”，associate with意为“联想，联系”，均与题意不符。
