47.G

48.E

49.F

50.B这是一篇说明文。主要说明了快乐的婴儿有优势。【46题详解】根据空前的“Parentsandteacherswantchildrentogrowuptobehappyandsuccessful.”以及空后的“Awiderangeofresearch,however,indicateshappinessbringssuccessinadults,andachievementsdonotalwaysmakeadultshappier.”可知，A项（我们常常认为成功最终会使我们快乐。）承上启下，符合语境。故选A。【47题详解】根据下文的“Wheneachbabywas18monthsold,oneparentreportedhowoftenhisorherbabyexpressedpositiveandnegativeemotionsandresearchersmeasuredtheinfant’sIQ.Whenbabieswerechildren(ages6to8),theycompletedIQtests.Whenbabieshadgrowninto29-year-oldadults,theyreportedhowmanyyearsofeducationtheyhadcompletedandtheirlifesatisfaction.”可知，实验研究的是父母对孩子幸福感的影响，故参与研究的父母报告他们的背景，以便研究。故G项（很早以前，父母就报告他们的背景，例如教育水平和就业情况。）符合题意，故选G。【48题详解】根据上文的“Asexpected,Coffeyfoundthatregardlessofintelligenceduringinfancyorparents’wealth,happierbabiesweremorelikelytograduatefromhighschoolandcollege.”可知，正如所料，科菲发现，无论婴儿时期的智力水平或父母的财富如何，快乐的婴儿更有可能从高中和大学毕业。故E项（此外，快乐的婴儿在婴儿期和儿童期之间的智商得分增长更多。）承接上文，都讲述的是快乐的婴儿的长处，符合题意。故选E。【49题详解】本段是让选主题句。根据下文的“Parentswishingtohelptheirchildrenenjoygreaterhappinesscanfocusonsmallchangestheycanmakeintheirday-to-daylivestocreatemorepositivemoments.”可知，关于快乐的婴儿的成长，父母也作出了相应的努力，父母对孩子情感的投入额决定着婴儿是否快乐。故F项（另一个重要的解释是，快乐是关于情感经历的频率。）符合题意，故选F。【50题详解】根据上文的“Currently,Coffeyandotherresearchersareexploringwhenandwhysomechildrenarehappierthanothersorwhetherwecanincreaseit.Happinessduringinfancyandchildhoodispredictedbyrelationshipswithcaregiversandteachersorbylearningnewskills.Inexpensiveandeasy-to-doactivitieslikepractisingactsofkindnessorappreciationcanboosthappiness.”可知，本段讲述了一些可以提高孩子幸福感的活动。故B项（我们可以利用这些活动帮助儿童成长为快乐和成功的成年人。）总结本段内容，符合题意。故选B。三、阅读理解19.ThesurprisingexperimentIamabouttodescribeprovesthatairisallaroundyouandthatitpressesdownuponyou.Airpressureisapowerfulforce.Whenyouswimunderwater,youcanfeelwaterpushingonyourbody.Theairallaroundyoudoesthesame.However,yourbodyissousedtoitthatyoudonotnoticethis.Thepressureiscausedbyalayerofaircalledtheatmosphere.ThislayersurroundstheEarth,extendingtoaboutfivekilometersabovetheEarth’ssurface.Thefollowingexperimentisaneasyonethatyoucandoathome.Butmakesurethatyouaresupervised,becauseyouwillneedtousematches.Nowfortheexperiment!Whatyouneed●Ahard-boiledeggwithouttheshell●Abottlewithaneckslightlysmallerthantheegg●Apieceofpaper●AmatchMethodCheckthattheeggwillsitfirmlyontheneckofthebottle.Tearthepaperintostripsandputthestripsintothebottle.Lightthepaperbydroppingaburningmatchintothebottle.Quicklysittheeggontheneckofthebottle.ResultAstonishingly,theeggwillbesuckedintothebottle.Yourfriendswillbeamazedwhenyoushowthemtheexperiment.Butbecarefulwhenyouhandlematches.WhyithappenedAsthepaperburns,itneedsoxygenandusesuptheoxygen(air)inthebottle.Theeggactsasasealintheneckofthebottle，sonomoreaircangetinside.Thisreducestheairpressureinsidethebottle.Theairpressuremustequalize,somoreairfromoutsidemustenterthebottle.Theoutsideairpressesagainsttheeggandthentheeggispushedintothebottle!Thisprovesthatairisalla
