2.  CRichpre-schoolkidshavearichervocabularythanpoorkids.

第一第四句中提到，根据调查，贫困家庭的孩子在词汇方面要落后于富有家庭的孩子，而这种差距往往会持续一生。

所以选C。

3.  DTwoyearsofpre-kindergartenwerebetterthanone.

倒数第二段第三四句讲到，参加学前教育的孩子在读写能力、语言能力、数学能力和科学能力上均有更好的表现，而有两年的学前教育效果要好于一年，所以选D。

4.  Achoose

本句的句意是批评者们选择了一个叫做“头脑启蒙”政府计划来……其他的选项分别都B考虑C计数  D依赖

本文通篇都在探讨的是学前教。

A选项未提到，CD均为学前教育研究的一部分，所以选B。

答案详解：

6.  Beight

第一段最后一句说计划在2022年送一组人上火星，可知答案是八年，选择B。

7.  BHecouldnotcomeupwiththefundofMarsOne.

第二段倒数第二句明确说明计划大约需要60亿美元。

所以B选项描述有误。

其他选项在第二段前半部分都有提到，即所有的条件均已具备。

8.  Dthefourastronautscouldreturntoearthafterafewyears’stayonMars.

文中第二段提到这是一个“one-waytrip”也就是单程旅行，所以他们不能回来。

9.  Averylarge

所以火箭的体积应该是很大的。

选择A。

10.  CReadyforaOne-waytriptoMars
