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—experi-ence【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.
【C20】

选项 A、though
B、no matter what
C、while
D、no matter how

答案B

解析 考查逻辑关系。本句指出:然而令人欣慰的是,______我们经历过,随着年龄的增长,我们都有望感觉更满足。四个选项均能引导让步状语从句,但由于live through为及物动词词组,在原文中缺少宾语,只有B.no matter what“不管什么,无论什么”符合题意,what充当live through的宾语,即“无论我们经历过什么”,在语义和语法上均满足原文要求,为正确答案。D项在引导让步状语从句时,后面要直接接形容词。
