解析:

1. B  从文章的主题句Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women.，可得出“职业妇女比家庭主妇更健康”的结论。A项为语法错误。

2. C  该选项与下文的the job-holders 构成对比，“没有工作的人比有工作的人身体差”。

3. A  that引导宾语从句，从句中又有一个whenever引导的时间状语从句。句意为“研究表明当失业率上升1%，死亡率相应上升2%。”

4. A  该题句意为“所有这些归结为一点。”come down to归结为；equal to等于；add up to 合计为；amount to总共到；相当于。

5. D  该句句意为“这是因为工作使人忙碌，使人们远离孤独和寂寞。”keep sb. away from是固定搭配，意为“使……远离／避开……”。

6. D  从下文…and lonely when they have nothing to do进行逻辑推理，可知“没事做的人会感到不开心、焦虑和孤独”。

7. A  从上文内容可知，最快乐的人是那些大忙人。

8. D  该句句意为“工作充当了人与现实生活联系的桥梁”。

9. B  该句句意为“通过工作人们开始相互联系／接触”。

10. A  失去了工作就意味着失去了这一切。mean意味着。

11. D  从意义上分析，A、C项不符合上下文的逻辑关系；B项过于严重，失去工作还达不到“死亡”的程度。

12. A  从文章的篇章结构上分析，上文讲述的是工作给人们带来的益处，下文还是讲述这方面的内容，属递进关系，不是转折关系。

13. B  从意义上判断，此题必须同前面的a sense of fulfillment（充实感）意义相类似，所以选B“成就感”。

14. C  从下文的his writing可判断出答案。

15. C  根据医生从事的工作性质可断定是“成功地为病人动手术”。

16. B  “学生成长”主要表现在知识、阅历上的长进。

17. D  beyond words无法用语言表达；in a word简言之；without a word 二话没说； at a word反应迅速地，立即。

18. A  从语法结构上分析，conclusion之后为同位语从句，that引导同位语从句时，不作成分但不能省略。

19. D  这是一个“the +比较级，the +比较级”句型，句意为“工作越多，人就会越高兴、越健康”。

20. A  从句子结构上判断，此句有三个并列的谓语动词；同时注意修饰动词要用副词不能用形容词。
