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.
【C14】
选项
A、start on
B、start over
C、start off
D、start up
答案
C
解析
本题考查上下文语义及动词短语辨析。空格句指出经历过“大萧条”这类极度困难的人们______不及另外一些人们幸福。C项start off意为“出发,开始(发生、行动等)”,将其代入,表示经历过极度困难的人们开始的时候不如另外一些人生活幸福,即经历不同,起始幸福感也会不同。故C项正确。文中并不合有经历过困苦的人要“着手进行某项活动”,“使设备、事业等启动”,“重新开始”的含义。所以排除A项start on“开始进行,着手进行”:B项start over“重新开始,从头来”;D项start up“开始运转,使启动”。
