9.A

10.D

11.B本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了在许多发达国家，拥有高学历的人比没有高学历的人工作的时间更长。快速的技术进步提高了高技能人员的收入，同时也挤压了非技术人员的收入。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段Inmanydevelopedcountries，peoplewhohavehighdegreesbegintoworklongerthanthosewhodon't．可知，在许多发达国家，拥有高学历的人比没有高学历的人工作的时间更长。故选B。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段Theexperienceofthe20thcentury，whengreaterlongevity（长寿）translatedintomoreyearsinretirementratherthanmoreyearsatwork，haspersuadedmanyobserversthatthischangewillleadtoslowereconomicgrowth，whiletheswellingranksofpensioners（领养老金者）willcreategovernmentbudgetproblems可知，许多观察者认为这种变化会导致经济增长放缓，而领养老金的人数却在不断膨胀制造政府预算问题。故选A。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段ManyEuropeangovernmentshaveabandonedpoliciesthatusedtoencouragepeopletoretireearly．Eventhebetteroffmustworklongertohaveacomfortableretirement．可知许多欧洲政府放弃了过去鼓励人们提前退休的政策。即使是更好的人也必须工作更长时间才能享受舒适的退休但工作性质的变化也起着重要作用。故选D。【11题详解】词义猜测题。根据上下文内容可知，Technologicalchangemaywellreinforce（强化）thatshift：theskillsthatcomplement（补充）computers，frommanagementknowhowtocreativity，donotnecessarilydeclinewithage.技术变革可能会强化这种转变：计算机的技能的提高，从管理知识到创造力，并不一定随着年龄而下降。故knowhow意为实践知识和技术技能。故选B。19.LiuQian,amagicianfromTaiwan,casthisspell(魔法)overanaudienceofthousandsontheCCTVSpringFestivalShow.Die-hardfansarestilltryingtoworkoutthesecretsbehindmanyofthetricksheperformed.ButLiu,32,whenasked,laughedofftheideathattheremightbean“answer”tohismagic.“Themostfascinatingthingsaboutmagicisthepuzzlingprocess.Peopleenjoyhowmagiciansmaketheimpossiblecometrue,”saidLiu.Fewpeopletodaybelieveinthepossibilityofrealmagic.Theyalsooftenfailtoconsidermagicians’devotiontotheirart.Itcantakeamagicianyears’ofpracticetoperfectatrickbeforeheperformsitonstage.PartofLiu’sstarappealishisastonishingskill.However,whenhebeganintheindustry,hewasembarrassinglyclumsy.“Icouldpracticethousandsoftimesforonesingleact.Itwasn’tmuchfun,”hesaid.Nomagician’ssupernaturalpowersonstageextendtotheirlifeoffstage.Liusayshislifewasnoeasierorfunnierbecausehewasamagician.Hedevelopedaninterestinmagicatayoungage,butdidn’tconsidermakingalivingoutofituntilhegraduatedfromuniversity.HehadstudiedJapaneselanguageandfoundhimselfunabletofindajob.“Myparentsneverconsideredbeingamagicianasaproperjob.Tobeginwith,IhadlittleconfidenceIwouldbedoingthisinthelongterm,”hesaid.YetLiufeltapowerfulcallingtobecomeamagician.“Formanypeople,magicsomehowmeansamiracle,whichissomethingweallsecretlywishfornomatterhowhard-bittenorcynical(愤世嫉俗的)webecome,”hesaid.Liumayberight.Apopularmoderndreamisofthefairygodmother,whowaveshermagicwand(棒)andmakesourdreamscometrue.ButaccordingtoLiu,weallhavethepowertocreatemagicinourlives.AsLiuputsit:it’snotthemagicthatmakesitwork；it’sthewayweworkthatmakesitmagic.51
