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.
【B19】
选项
A、surprising
B、bad
C、latest
D、good
答案
D
解析
考查上下文语义十形容词辨析。空格处所填入的形容词用于修饰news,空格句后部分对这一消息予以了阐释,即“______随着年龄的增长,我们都有望感觉更满足”,很显然这是好消息,排除bad。文章明确指出对“幸福感和年龄之间的关系”的研究已进行了数十年,得出的结果中有的表明老年人感觉没有年轻人幸福,即有的表明老年人感觉更幸福。因此,这一消息并不是“最新消息”或“惊人的消息”,排除latest和surprising。故本题正确答案为D.good,即“好的,令人愉快的消息”。
