9.C

10.A

11.B本文是说明文。文章主要是有关谎言的调查研究。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的childrenwhotelllieswhenthey’retwoyearsoldhaveagoodchanceofbecomingsuccessfuladults(成年人).(两岁时说谎的孩子很有可能成为成功的成年人)可知，撒谎的小孩在以后很可能会取得成功。故选B。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段的研究结果Accordingtotheresearch,attheageoftwo,20percentofchildrenlie.Attheageofthree,50percentlie,andatfouralmost90percentlie.Bytheageof12almosteverychildtellslies.(根据这项研究，20%的儿童在两岁时撒谎。三岁时，50%的孩子撒谎，四岁时，90%的孩子撒谎。到了12岁，几乎每个孩子都会说谎。)可知，随着孩子年龄的增长，其说谎的概率也在增长。故选C。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的Accordingtotheresearch,theaverageBritishmantellsthreelieseveryday;that’sover1,000liesayear.However,theaveragewomanapparentlyonlyliestwiceaday.“调查显示，英国男性平均每天说谎三次;一年就有超过1000个谎言。然而，女性平均每天只会说谎两次。”可知，男性比女性说的谎多。故选A。【11题详解】词义猜测题。划线部分是上一句Awhitelieisalietoldtoavoidhurtingsomeone’sfeelings.说明善意的谎言是一种谎言，以避免伤害某人的感情；下文saidafteropeningapresentfromtheirpartner说明，这句话是在收到来自伙伴的礼物后说的话可推断，由此可知，划线部分是一句善意的谎言，其实说话者并不喜欢这件礼物。故选B。19.TheAmericanWestcoversavastareafromtheMississippiRivertothePacificcoast.Itwaslargelyunexploredbywhilesettlersuntilthebeginningofthenineteenthcentury.Therewasn’tenoughlandintheEast,somanywhitepeoplewhowishedtofarmwentWestinsearchofanewlife.Large-scalemigrationbeganin1843.By1848.over14.000settlershadfollowed.Muchofthelandtheycrossedconsistedofmountains,deserts,andhuge,treelessplains.TravellersnormallybegantheirjourneyinlateAprilorearlyMay.AnydelaymeantthatfiercesnowstormswouldbeexperiencedintheSierraNevadamountains.Migrantssufferedfromdisease,violentduststorms,andsoon.Onein25ofthemigrantsfailedtomakeittotheirdestination.WhenwhitepeoplefirstexploredtheAmericanWest,theyoftentradedwithNativeAmericans,andsometimesfurtradersmarriedandbecamemembersofIndiansociety.ThetravellersgaveNativeAmericansblanketsandmirrorsinexchangeforfood.Theyalsosoldthemgunsandbullets.Thenin1849,thousandsofmenofmanydifferentnationalitieswenttoCalifornia,andlatertoColoradoandNevada,tosearchforgold.Withtherushcamethedevelopmentofminingcampsandthegrowthofindustries,towns,shops,roadsystems,andrailroads.However,nativeAmericansdidlittlefanningandmining.Theywerehunters.
