9.D

10.C

11.B【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了研究表明，那些小时候工作过的人比那些没有工作过的人生活得更快乐、更富有成效。【8题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在第一段Hehadmorejobsatisfaction,abettermarriageandwashealthier.（他对工作更满意，婚姻更美满，身体更健康。）由此可知，约翰喜欢他的事业和婚姻，故选A。【9题详解】推理判断题。答案定位在第二段“Boyswhoworkedinthehomeorcommunitygainedcompetence(能力)andcametofeeltheywereworthwhilemembersofsociety,”saidGeorgeVaillant,thepsychologist(心理学家)whomadethediscovery.“Andbecausetheyfeltgoodaboutthemselves,othersfeltgoodaboutthem.”（发现这一现象的心理学家GeorgeVaillant说:“在家庭或社区工作的男孩获得了能力，并开始觉得自己是社会中有价值的一员。”“因为他们对自己感觉良好，其他人也对他们感觉良好。”）由此推断出，Vaillant在第二段的话解释了为什么一些男孩成长为快乐的人，故选D。【10题详解】词义猜测题。下文Thosewhohaddonethemostboyhoodactivitiesweretwiceaslikelytohavewarmrelationswithawidevarietyofpeople,fivetimesaslikelytobewellpaidand16timeslesslikelytohavebeenunemployed.说那些在童年时期参加活动最多的人，与各种各样的人保持亲密关系的可能性是其他人的两倍，获得高薪的可能性是五倍，较不可能失业的可能性是16倍。由此可推断出上文Thelinkbetweenwhatthemenhaddoneasboysandhowtheyturnedoutasadultswassurprisinglysharp.的意思是这些男性在孩童时期的行为和成年后的表现之间的联系惊人地明确。“sharp”的意思是明确的，故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段Childhoodactivitieshelpachilddevelopresponsibility,independence,confidenceandcompetence—theunderpinningsofemotionalhealth.Theyalsohelphimunderstandthatpeoplemustcooperateandworktowardcommongoals.Themostcompetentadultsarethosewhoknowhowtodothis.（儿童活动有助于儿童发展责任、独立、自信和能力，这些是情感健康的基础。它们还帮助他理解，人们必须合作，为共同的目标而努力。最有能力的成年人是那些知道如何做到这一点的人。）由此推断出，情感健康对美好的成人生活至关重要，故选B。【点睛】推理判断题要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。小题2，答案定位在第二段“Boyswhoworkedinthehomeorcommunitygainedcompetence(能力)andcametofeeltheywereworthwhilemembersofsociety,”saidGeorgeVaillant,thepsychologist(心理学家)whomadethediscovery.“Andbecausetheyfeltgoodaboutthemselves,othersfeltgoodaboutthem.”（发现这一现象的心理学家GeorgeVaillant说:“在家庭或社区工作的男孩获得了能力，并开始觉得自己是社会中有价值的一员。”“因为他们对自己感觉良好，其他人也对他们感觉良好。”）由此推断出，Vaillant在第二段的话解释了为什么一些男孩成长为快乐的人，故选D。22.Amongallthefastgrowingscienceandtechnology,theresearchofhumangenes,orbiologicalengineeringaspeoplecallit,isdrawingmoreandmoreattentionnow.Sometimesitisahottopicdiscussedbypeople.Thegreatestthingthatgenetechnologycandoistocureseriousdiseasesthatdoctorsatpresentcanalmostdonothingwith,suchascancerandheartdisease.Everyyear,millionsofpeoplearemurderedbythesetwokillers.Andtodate,doctorshavenotfoundaneffectivewaytocurethem.Butifthegenetechnologyisapplied,notonlythesetwodiseasescanbecuredcompletely,bringinghappinessandmorelivingdaystothepatients,butalsothegreatamountofmoneypeoplespendoncuringtheirdiseasescanbesaved,thereforeitbenefitstheeconomyaswell.Inaddition,humanlifespan(寿命)canbeprolonged.Genetechnologycanhelppeopletogivebirthtomorehealthyandcleverchildren.Somefamilies,withtheEnglishimperial(皇家的)familybeingagoodexample,havehereditarydiseases.Thismeanstheirchildrenwillforsurehavethefamilydisease,whichisagreattroubleforthesefamilies.Inthepast,doctorscoulddonothingabouthereditarydiseases.Butgenetechnologycansolvethisproblemperfectly.Thescientistjustneedtofindthewronggeneandcorrectit,andahealthychildwillbeborn.Somepeopleareworryingthatthegeneresearchcanbeusedtomanufacturehumanbeingsinlargequantities.Inthepastfewyears,scientistshavesucceededincloningasheep,thereforethesepeoplepredictthathumanbabieswouldsoonbecloned.ButIbelieveclonedbabieswillnotcomeoutinlargequantities,for
