66、家们发现努力工作的人比普通人寿命长。接下来就说职业女性比家庭主妇会“更健康”。more healthier的形式不正确。weaker，worse的意思与题意不符。16.A.career women B.the busy C.the jobless D.the hardworking答案C解析证据证明没工作的人比有工作的人健康状况差。the jobless与the jobholders是对比对象。17.A.whenever B.whetherC.though D.since答案A解析一项研究证明，无论何时，只要失业率每增长一个百分点，死亡率便相应增长两个百分点。whenever引导让步状语从句，
67、意为“每当，无论何时”；whether引导让步状语从句时是“不管，是否”的意思；though尽管；since既然，由于，自从以来，都不符合句意。18.A.comes down B.equals toC.adds up D.amounts答案A解析所有这些都归结为一点：工作对健康有益。come down to归结为，总结为，符合文意。equal to等于，而文中已有to；add up to合计达，总计为；amount大量，都不符合文意。19.A.from B.ofC.in touch with D.away from答案D解析为什么工作会对健康有益呢？这是因为工作让人忙碌，从而远离寂寞与孤独。k
68、eep sb./sth. away from使某人或某物远离，符合文意。keep in touch with后面常接sb.，意为“与某人保持联系”；其他选项无意义。20.A.interested B.joyfulC.concerned D.worried答案D解析研究表明，人们在无事可做时会感到不高兴、焦虑和孤独。这句话要说明“不工作”的坏影响，所以要选一个贬义词。interested感兴趣的；joyful愉快的；concerned担心的，都不符合文意。worried焦虑的，符合文意。故选A项。21.A.busy B.freeC.lazy D.empty答案A解析相反，最快乐的正是那些忙碌着的
69、人们。此处的busy与上文的have nothing to do形成对比，free空闲的；lazy懒惰的；empty空虚的，均不符合文意。22.A.river B.openingC.channel D.bridge答案D解析许多热爱事业的成功人士觉得他们工作的时候是最快乐的。工作作为桥梁(纽带)连接了人与现实。river河流；opening开口，开端，空地；channel渠道，频道；bridge桥梁。由句意知D项符合。23.A.come acrossB.come into contact withC.look down uponD.watch over答案B解析通过工作，人们相互接触。通过集体
70、活动，他们得到温暖。这对健康有益。come into contact with和接触(冲突)，碰见，符合文意。24.A.means B.standsC.equals D.matches答案A解析失去工作意味着失去一切。mean意味着，符合文意。25.A.success B.deathC.victory D.disease答案D解析失业会从精神上影响一个人并会让人易于患病。文章总体是讲“工作影响健康”的问题，所以，death“死亡”，success“成功”和victory“胜利”均不符合文意。26.A.Besides B.NeverthelessC.However D.Yet答案A解析besid
71、es此外，况且，甚至，表递进，对上述观点进行进一步说明和论述，符合句意。27.A.disappointment B.achievementC.regret D.apology答案B解析此外，工作给人以充实感和成就感。此处是讲工作的好处，故选achievement“成就”。28.A.worker B.farmerC.writer D.manager答案C解析工作让人意识到自己的价值和社会地位。当作家完成了他的写作时，当医生成功对他的病人实施了手术时或当教师看到他的学生进步了时，他们都是无比幸福的。此处举例说明，对应各行各业，所以writer“作家”符合文意。29.A.manages B.cont
72、rolsC.operates on D.deals with答案C解析operate on sb.给某人动手术，符合文意。30.A.raise B.growC.rise D.increase答案B解析grow可以是不及物动词表示“成长，长大”，符合句意。31.A.in a word B.without a wordC.at a word D.beyond words答案D解析beyond words无法用言语表达，无比，符合句意。32.A.that B.whichC.what D.when答案A解析根据上文，我们可以得出这样的结论：工作越多，你便会越幸福，也越健康。that在此处引导一个同位语
73、从句，用来说明conclusion的内容。33.A.the lonelier and weakerB.lonelier and weakerC.happier and healthierD.the happier and healthier答案D解析the比较级，the比较级表示“越，就越”。B、C两项结构形式不正确，A项意义不符合。34.A.study well B.studying wellC.study good D.studying good答案A解析让我们一起努力工作，好好学习，过幸福健康的生活吧。let sb.do sth.让某人做某事，此结构中要用动词原形作宾语补足语，B、D两项
74、不适合；study学习，此处为动词，要用副词well来修饰，study well好好学习。.语法填空I think Christmas is a perfect time to show our kindness.Every year at Christmas my wife and I send 35.a gift to someone anonymously(匿名地).I feel thats the true 36.meaning(mean) of Christmasit is about giving rather than receiving.My wife had a close
