16、 beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “I think by 2075 we will see it and thats a conservative estimate(保守

17、的估计).”At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology(纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what was possible in the past. “There is a great effort so that people ca

18、n live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”However, many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with health

19、ier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said Leo

20、nard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”24.By saying “we are knocking at the door of immortality”, Michael Zey means _.A. they have got some ideas about living foreverB. they believe that there

Healthy Lifestyle and Long LivingCPlastic-Eating WormsHumans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and

24、up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there has been no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene(聚乙烯),

25、which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the resea

26、rchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass-apparently broken down by enzymes(酶) from the worms stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the wo

27、rms ability to break down their everyday food - beeswax- also allows them to break down plastic. “Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well,” she explains. “The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond.”Jennifer DeBruyn, a mi

28、crobiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the c

29、ause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)？Bertocchini agrees and hopes her teams findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process - not simpl

D. They take plastics as their everyday food.29. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the st

31、udy is to _.A. increase the breakdown speed B. confirm the research findingsC. find out the source of the enzyme D. identify other means of the breakdown30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might _.A. be produced in factories in future B. be used to clean the oceansC. hel
