选项 A、popular
B、prior
C、superior
D、premature
答案 B
解析 语义衔接题。结合语境，这里提到they(残疾)经常是由遗传引发的，也就是说生下来就有，那么残疾应该是在22岁之前就发生了，故答案为[B]prior。prior常与to搭配使用，表示“在…之前”。[A]popular“受欢迎的”常与with和among搭配使用；[C]superior与to连用表示“比…好、强等”或“比…职位、级别高”：[D]premature“提前的，过早的”与to连用构成it is premature(for sb．)to do sth．，表示“(某人)做某事太早”。第二段首句提到的Prior为本空所填词的原词复现。
