The【B19】_news is,【B20】_weve lived through, we can all look forward to feeling more content as we age.（分数：40.00）(1).【B1】（分数：2.00）A.aside B.besidesC.alikeD.likely解析：解析：文章第一句提出“当人们变老时是变得更快乐还是更为性情古怪”这一问题。空格所在
43、句子的大意为：典型的脾气暴躁的邻居们，科学家们数十年来一直在试图回答这个问题。Aaside“撇开不谈”作后置定语，译为“不谈那些典型的脾气暴躁的邻居们”，即不将这些极端个例计入在内，表明了研究的严谨性，符合文意。besides 以及 likelv 均不能作后置定语修饰名词。alike 可作表语和后置定语，用于强调刚提及的两者的类似性，而文中并未提及“脾气暴躁的邻居们”和他人的比较。(2).【B2】（分数：2.00）A.worryingB.revealingC.appealingD.conflicting 解析：解析：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
44、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，但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，Dconflicting“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“connicting 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。(3).【B3】（分数：2.00）A.neverthelessB.henceC.indeed D.accordin
45、gly解析：解析：上文指出之前的研究没有得出一致的结论；本句中的新研究则明确给出结论：幸福感随着年龄的增长而增强，indeed 在此表达了对这一结论的肯定与强调，符合逻辑；同时 indeed 也与后面的 but呼应，将结论又推进一步：但是整体的幸福感却还受(除年龄外)其他因素影响。Cindeed 同时照应了句间和句内的逻辑，为正确答案。nevertheless“然而”，hence“所以”，accordingly“因此，相应地”均不符合逻辑。(4).【B4】（分数：2.00）A.resides withB.rests withC.depends on D.reckons on解析：解析：本句指出
46、：研究表明幸福感的确随着年龄的增长而增强，但总体幸福感_一个人的出生时间。Cdepends on 可用来表明原因，即“某事受影响或取决于”，代入文中，说明影响总体幸福感的另一个原因是人的出生时间，符合文意。resides with 强调“权力、权利等属于某人、某机构”，不符合文意；rests with 指“由(某人)负责”，只接 sb；reckons on(doing)sth强调对某事会发生的一种希望，不符合题意。(5).【B5】（分数：2.00）A.PrecedingB.LaterC.FollowingD.Previous 解析：解析：空格处形容词修饰 studies，本句指出“研究发现老年
47、人不如后两者那样开心”。下句紧接着说明“但这些研究无法”，第三句指出“新研究通过审查大量数据”。由此推知本句及下旬提到的研究与“新研究”相对，即为“之前的”研究，排除 B、C 两项。而 A、D 两项均有“在前的”之意，但preceding 强调“紧接在前”，previous 除了有与 preceding 相近的用法外，还可以泛指“发生在前的”，符合原文语境。因此 DPrevious 为正确答案。(6).【B6】（分数：2.00）A.relatedB.compared C.matchedD.associated解析：解析：本句指出：之前有研究将老年人与中年人和年轻人进行了_，发现老年人不如后两者那样幸福。所以空格处填入的动词应与 with 搭配，表达对比。只有 compare with 指对事物之间的相同和相异之处进行比较，代入文中指对老年人与中年人、年轻人的幸福感的比较，故 Bcompared 为正确选项。relate with 意为“同联系起来”，match with 指“找到或使能相匹配，相适应，使与竞争或较量”，associate with 意为“联
