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 because 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 educa tion, that well-being increases over everyone’ s lifetime.【C13】______people who have lived through extreme hard ship, 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.
【C20】
选项 A、though
B、no matter what
C、while
D、no matter how
答案B
解析 本题考查逻辑关系。空格句指出：然而令人欣慰的是，______我们经历过(have lived through)______，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项no matter what(不管什么，无论什么，表让步)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，为正确选项。注意D项在引导让步状语从句时，后面要直接接形容词。A项though“虽然，尽管”，表让步；C项while“虽然”，表让步；“然而”，表对照。
