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.

【C1】
选项 A、alike
B、alongside
C、aside
D、besides
答案C
解析 本题考查副词用法。alike意为“以同样的方式；类似于”，用于强调两者的类似性，文中并未将“脾气暴躁的邻居们”与他人比较；alongside意为“在(……)旁边”；besides意为“此外；而且”；aside意为“撇开(……不谈)”。将它们放人文中后，只有C项最符合语义逻辑，表示“暂且不提暴躁易怒的邻居们”，因此C项为正确答案。
