【答案】4.A5.B6.C7.D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。
本文围绕“衰老”这一话题展开叙述。
指出了人体生命力变化的趋势,12岁最旺盛,人类的衰老不可抗拒,并且人类的衰老和机械装置的衰老过程有很大区别。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。
根据第一段的“Attheageoftwelveyears,thehumanbodyisatitsmostvigorous.Ithasyettoreachitsfullsizeandstrength,anditsownerhisorherfullintelligence”(人在十二岁的时候,身体最旺盛。
但它还没有达到最大和最强力量,还没有达到全部智力发展高峰。
)可知,人类的身体在12岁最旺盛,但并没有到达峰值。
A“我们的12岁代表了人类发展的峰值”不符合以上说法。
故选A。
【5题详解】
猜测词义题。
根据第二段中“Someofuswilldiesooner,afewwilllivelonger—onintoaninthortenthdecade.”可知,一些人去世较早,少数人能活到90多岁到100岁。
根据句中but和下文“thereisavirtuallimitonhowlongwecanhopetoremainalive”(我们希望存活的时间实际上是有限的)可知,it指代前面提到的活到90多岁到100岁的长寿情况。
故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。
根据第一段的“Earlier,wewereinfantsandyoungchildren,andconsequentlymorevulnerable(易受伤害的),later,weshallundergoaprogressivelossofourvigorandresistancewhich,thoughunnoticeableatfirst,willfinallybecomesosteepthatwecanlivenolonger,howeverwellwelookafterourselves,andhoweverwellsociety,andourdoctors,lookafterus.”(之前,我们是婴幼儿,因此更加脆弱、容易受到伤害;后来,我们将经历一个逐渐失去精力和抵抗力的过程,尽管这个过程一开始不太明显,但它最终会势不可挡,
