问题     Do people get happier or more foul-tempered as they age? Stereotypes of irritable neighbors【B1】______, scientists have been trying to answer this question for decades, and the results have been 【B2】______. Now a study of several thousand Americans born between 1885 and 1980 reveals that well-being 【B3】______ increases with age but overall happiness【B4】______when a person was born.
    【B5】______studies that have【B6】______older adults with the middle-aged and young have sometimes found that older adults are not as happy. But these studies could not【B7】______whether their 【B8】______ was because of their age or be cause of their 【B9】______ life experience. The new study, published online January 24 in Psychological Science,【B10】______out the answer by examining 30 years of data on thousands of Americans, including【B11】______measures of mood and well-being, reports of job and relationship success, and objective measures of health.
    The researchers found, after controlling for variables【B12】______health, wealth, gender, ethnicity and education, that well-being increases over everyone’s lifetime.【B13】______people who have lived through extreme hardship, such as the Great Depression,【B14】______much less happy than those who have had more【B15】______lives. This finding helps to【B16】______why past studies have found conflicting results—experi-ence【B17】______, and tough times can【B18】______an entire generation’s happiness for the rest of their lives. The【B19】______news is,【B20】______we’ve lived through, we can all look forward to feeling more content as we age.
【B20】
选项 A、though
B、no matter what
C、while
D、no matter how
答案B
解析 考查逻辑关系。本句指出：然而令人欣慰的是，______我们经历过，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．no matter what“不管什么，无论什么”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，为正确答案。D项在引导让步状语从句时，后面要直接接形容词。
