问题 　　Do people get happier or more foul-tempered as they age? Stereotypes of irritable neighbors【C1】________, scientists have been trying to answer this question for decades, and the results have been 【C2】________. Now a study of several thousand Americans born between 1885 and 1980 reveals that well-being【C3】________increases with age but overall happiness【C4】________when a person was born.
　　【C5】________studies that have【C6】________older adults with the middle-aged and young have sometimes found that older adults are not as happy. But these studies could not【C7】________whether their【C8】________was because of their age or be cause of their【C9】________life experience. The new study, published online January 24 in Psychological Science, 【C10】________ out the answer by examining 30 years of data on thousands of Americans, including【C11】________measures of mood and well-being, reports of job and relationship success, and objective measures of health.
　　The researchers found, after controlling for variables【C12】________health, wealth, gender, ethnicity and education, that well-being increases over everyone’ s lifetime. 【C13】________people who have lived through extreme hardship, such as the Great Depression, 【C14】________much less happy than those who have had more【C15】________lives. This finding helps to【C16】________why past studies have found conflicting results—experience【C17】________, and tough times can【C18】________ an entire generation’ s happiness for the rest of their lives. The【C19】________news is, 【C20】________we’ ve lived through, we can all look forward to feeling more content as we age.
【C8】
选项 A、unwillingness
B、insecurity
C、discontent
D、incompetence
答案C
解析 考查上下文语义及名词辨析。上一句说明了研究发现有时老年人不如中年人和年轻人那样幸福，空格所在句紧接着说难以分辨这种不幸福的原因是哪一个。根据语义，空格处的词与上文的not as happy相呼应。只有C．discontent“不满，不愉快”符合文意。unwillingness“不情愿，勉强”，insecurity“不安全，不牢靠”，incompetence“无资格，不胜任，无能力”，均与文意不符。
