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—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.
【C2】
选项 A、worrying
B、revealing
C、appealing
D、conflicting
答案D
解析 考查上下文语义及形容词辨析。本句指出，之前科学家们为解决该问题做出很多的努力，结论一直________，下句紧接着引出目前一项研究揭示了这一问题的结论；而文章    第二段也指出之前研究有时发现老年人不及中年人和年轻人幸福，即有时发现老年人感觉更幸福；这都说明之前的研究并没有得出一致的结论，而直到现在才有新研究给出确切结论。因此，D．conflicting“冲突的，相矛盾的，不一致的”为正确选项。另外，文章最后一段中出现“conflicting results”，通读文章后也可选出正确答案。worrying“令人担心的，焦虑的”，revealing“有启发作用的”，appealing“吸引人的”，均与题意不符。
