44.D

45.C

46.D本文是一篇议论文。研究表明长寿不仅是身体健康问题而且也是精神健康的问题，研究还发现长寿的人更开朗，生活更积极，而母亲的性格也会影响孩子的寿命。【43题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“AnewstudyintheJournaloftheAmericanGeriatricsSocietylookedatthisquestionbyexaminingthepersonalitycharacteristicsof246childrenofpeoplewhohadlivedtobeatleast100.”可知，《美国老年病学会杂志》上的一项新研究通过测试246名百岁老人的子女的性格特征来研究这一问题。该句中的“thisquestion”即此项研究的目的，指代的是第一段第三、四两句“Butwhateffectdoesyourpersonalityhaveonyourlongevity(长寿)?Dosomekindsofpersonalitiesleadtolongerlives?”（性格对长寿有什么影响呢?某些性格是否会使人更加长寿呢?），因此可知，研究的目的就是看看人们的性格特征是否影响他们的寿命。A项是对这两个问题的同义转述。故选A项正确。【44题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段后两句“Long-livingwomenarealsomorelikelytobesympatheticandcooperativethanwomenwithanormallifespan.Thesefindingsareinagreementwithwhatyouwouldexpectfromtheevolutionarytheory:thosewholiketomakefriendsandhelpotherscangatherenoughresourcestomakeitthroughtoughtimes.”可知，开朗的有同情心的人喜欢交朋友和帮助别人，能够聚集足够的资源成功度过困难时期。故选D项正确。【45题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二、三句“Interestingly,however,othercharacteristicsthatyoumightconsideradvantageoushadnoimpactonwhetherstudyparticipantswerelikelytolivelonger.Thosewhoweremoreself-disciplined,forinstance,werenomorelikelytolivetobeveryold.”可知，一些你认为对长寿有利的性格对研究参与者来说，并没有起到延长寿命的作用。例如自律的人并不会更加长寿。C项是对这两句话同义转述。故选C项正确。【46题详解】细节理解题。第5段最后两句提到，该研究调查了将近两万八千名挪威母亲，并发现较为焦虑、抑郁和愤怒的母亲更容易给孩子提供不健康的饮食。儿童时期的饮食习惯在成年后很难改变，而这意味着母亲精神抑郁的人寿命会较短。选项D为原文kidsofdepressedmomsendupdyingyounger的同义转述。故选D项正确。【名师点睛】文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，一一对应，一目了然。属于浅层次的阅读试题，分数比例较少。（2）语
