填空题Does happiness favor those of a particular age, sex, or income level? Social scientists have exploded some myths about who's happy and who's not by identifying predictors of happiness and life satisfaction. Many people believe there are unhappy times of life — typically the stress filled teen years, the "mid-life crisis" years, or the declining years' of old age. But interviews with people of all ages reveal【C1】______no time of life is notably happier or unhappier. Emotions do【C2】______with age: Satisfaction with social relations and health becomes more important in later life. And teens,【C3】______adults, typically rebound from either gloom【C4】______joy within an hour's time. Does happiness have a favorite sex? Are men happier because of their greater incomes and social power? Are women happier because of their supposedly greater capacity for intimacy and social connection? Like age,【C5】______gives no clue to subjective well-being. There are gender gaps in misery: When troubled, men more often become alcoholic,【C6】______women more often think deeply and get depressed. Yet men and women are equally likely to declare themselves "very happy" and "【C7】______" with life. This conclusion is grounded in scores of studies around the world. Living standards have soared during the twentieth century, and economists expect them to continue【C8】______in the decades ahead. Does that mean that we humans can look【C9】______to increasing happiness? Not necessarily. Steady improvements in the economy are not【C10】______by a steady increase in people's assessments of their own happiness.

填空题{{B}}Ⅰ．{{/B}}Each of the passages is followed by some questions. For each question four answers are given. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question. The history of responds to the work of the artist Sandro Botticelli (1444--1510) suggests that widespread appreciation by critics is a relatively recent phenomenon. Writing in 1550, Vasari expressed an unease with Botticelli's work, admitting that the artist fitted awkwardly into his evolutionary scheme of the history of art. Over the next two centuries, academic art historians defamed Botticelli in favor of his fellows Florentine, Michelangelo. Even when anti-academic art historians of the early nineteenth century rejected many of the standards of evaluation adopted by their predecessors, Botticelli's work remained outside of accepted taste, pleasing neither amateur observers nor connoisseurs. (Many of his best paintings, however, remained hidden away in obscure churches and private homes.) The primary reason for Botticelli's unpopularity is not difficult to understand: most observers, up until the mid-nineteenth century, did not consider him to be noteworthy, because his work, for the most part, did not seem to these observers to exhibit the traditional characteristics of fifteenth-century Florentine art. For example, Botticelli rarely employed the technique of strict perspective and, unlike Michelangelo, never used chiaroscuro. Another reason for Botticelli's unpopularity may have been that his attitude toward the style of classical art was very different from that of his contemporaries. Although he was thoroughly exposed to classical art, he showed little interest in borrowing from the classical style. Indeed, it is paradoxical that a painter of large-scale classical subjects adopted a style that was only slightly similar to that of classical art. In any case, when viewers began to examine more closely the relationship of Botticelli's work to the tradition of fifteenth-century Florentine art, his reputation began to grow. Analyses and assessments of Botticelli made between 1850 and 1870 by the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, as well as by the writer Pater (although he, unfortunately, based his assessment on an incorrect analysis of Botticelli's personality), inspired a new appreciation of Botticelli throughout the English-speaking world. Yet Botticelli's work, especially the Sistine frescoes, did not generate worldwide attention until it was finally subjected to a comprehensive and scrupulous analysis by Home in 1908. Home rightly demonstrated that the frescoes shared important features with paintings by other fifteenth-century Florentines--features such as skillful representation of anatomical proportions, and of the human figure in motion. However, Home argued that Botticelli did not treat these qualities as ends in themselves--rather, that he emphasized clear depletion of a story, a unique achievement and one that made the traditional Florentine qualities less central. Because of Home's emphasis crucial to any study of art, the twentieth century has come to appreciate Botticelli's achievements.
