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—experience【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.
【B5】
选项
A、Preceding
B、Later
C、Following
D、Previous
答案
D
解析
空格处形容词修饰studies,本句指出“研究发现老年人不如后两者那样开心”。下句紧接着说明“但这些研究无法”,第三句指出“新研究通过审查大量数据…”。由此推知本句及下旬提到的研究与“新研究”相对,即为“之前的”研究,排除B、C两项。而A、D两项均有“在前的”之意,但preceding强调“紧接在前”,previous除了有与preceding相近的用法外,还可以泛指“发生在前的”,符合原文语境。因此D.Previous为正确答案。
