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.
【C7】
选项
A、detect
B、discover
C、derive
D、discern
答案
D
解析
考查动词辨析。上文提到以前的研究发现老年人有时不如更年轻的人感觉幸福:本句转折指出:但是研究无法______他们的______是因为他们的年龄还是由于人生经历。空格处填入动词接whether…or…(是…还是…)结构,即要在两个原因当中确定一个,而不单单是“发现,察觉”,排除A项和B项;derive的习惯搭配有derive sth.from表示“得到某物”,derive from表示“起源”,都不符合文意。D.discern“辨明,分清”可接whether…or…,表示“在二者中辨别出一个”,符合文意。
