根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Are people less or more happy when they get older? A study in 2018 found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were at 18.

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.①______

Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70’s. But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70’s and 80’s.  The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. ②______

The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.

③______One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

④______In another study, people in their 80’s reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep. The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems. ⑤______But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.

A. So why will happiness increase with age?

B. Researchers surveyed more than 150,000 American adults.

C. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.

D. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50’s.

E. Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.

F. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women.

G. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

【回答】

1. D   2. G   3. A   4. E   5. F 解析：1.D. 推理判断题.设空处位于第二段最后一句,设空前一句 His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. 说了研究团队关于压力水平的发现.所以 36 空仍为压力水平的研究的成果.从下列七个选项中,只有 D 选项说的是压力水平,而且是结论.故*为 D.

2.G. 推理判断题.设空处位于第三段最后一句,此句前一句The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.说的是随着年龄变老,男人和女人有相似的情绪的模式.所以后一句仍然是说基于男女对比的研究发现.故为 G.

3.A. 推理判断题.设空处位于第五段第一句,而且为总领句.根据后面One theory is that, as people get older, they become more than thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. 的总结,说的是人老了之后变得对他们所拥有的事务更加感激,而且能更好地控制情绪等.所以,第一句为什么幸福感会随着年龄增长.正确*为 A.

4.E. 推理判断题.设空处位于第六段第一句,根据后面的句子In another study, people in their 80's reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.得知,到了人们 80 岁的时候,有最少的睡眠质问题,是随着变老的又一个好处.故*为 E.

5.F. 推理判断题.设空处位于倒数第二句话.前一句 The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.是说,随着年龄额增加,睡眠问题应该增加.而空后有转折词"but"为转折,得知其前一句顺承关系.说的是睡眠问题的增加,故为 F.
