13.C

14.C

15.D通過本文我們知道，人們一直在研究延長(zhǎng)壽命的方法。12.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句PeterThiel,thebillionaireco-founderofPayPal,planstolivetobe120.Comparedwithsomeothertechbillionaires,hedoesn'tseemparticularlyambitious.可知billionaires都有大的夢(mèng)想。故選A。13.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中Theideaisthatthehumanbody,beingamachine,hasastructurethatdeterminesallaspectsofitsfunction,soifwecanrestorethatstructure—atthemolecular（分子的）andcellular（細(xì)胞的）level—thenwewillrestorefunctiontoo,sowewillhavecomprehensivelyrenewedthebody."可知A/B/D三項(xiàng)能解釋SENS項(xiàng)目背后的理論，而C項(xiàng)不能，故選C。14.C詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段中Centurieslater,thesearchforeternallifewasn'tmuchsafer幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以后，對(duì)永生的追尋，不是更安全；根據(jù)第三段最后一句thenwewillrestorefunctiontoo,sowewillhavecomprehensivelyrenewedthebody."然后我們也會(huì)恢復(fù)功能，所以我們將全面更新尸體；根據(jù)第五段中Glennappeartobedevelopingintoatestablemeanstostaveoffoldage—forlabmice.Glenn似乎成為延緩衰老的一個(gè)測(cè)試手段——對(duì)實(shí)驗(yàn)室的老鼠來說。再根據(jù)第二段中sincethehumansearchforimmortalityisbothancientandfilledwithdisastrousfailures由于對(duì)人類長(zhǎng)生不老的追尋是個(gè)古老而又充滿災(zāi)難的失敗。綜上所述。A/B/D和immortality的意思接近“延長(zhǎng)壽命”，而C.lifespan壽命，使用期限，根據(jù)題干所問，可知答案為C。15.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中Since2007,thefoundationhasdistributedannual"GlennAwards,"$60,000toindependentresearchersdoingpromisingworkonaging.TheGlennFoundationalsoworkscloselywiththeEllisonMedicalFoundation,afaryoungerinstitution(foundedin1997).Ellison'spassionprojectgivesouthundredsofthousandsofdollarseachyeartoscholarsseekingresearchonaging.Theirdecisiontofundindependentresearchmaybepayingoff.由此可知他們?yōu)楠?dú)立研究提供資金的決定可能會(huì)得到回報(bào)。因此D項(xiàng)不正確，故選D。19.閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。Lastyear．ItookasightseeingtriptoWashington,DC．Iheardavoicesay,“Canyouhelpme?”WhenIturnedaround,Isawanelderlyblindwomanwithherhandextended．Immediately,Ipulledoutallofmychangeandplaceditonherhandwithoutevenlookingather．Buttheblindwomansmiledandsaid,“Idon’twantyourmoney．Ijustneedhelpfindingthepostoffice.”Inaninstant,IrealizedwhatIhaddone．Iactedwithprejudice―IjudgedanotherpersonsimplyforwhatIassumedshehadtobe．IhatedwhatIsawinmyself．ThethingIhadforgottenaboutmyselfisthatIamanimmigrant．IleftHondurasandarrivedintheUSattheageof15．Istartedmynewlifewithtwosuitcases,mybrotherandsister．Throughtheyears,Ihavebeenadoorkeeper,cashierandpizzadeliverydriveramongm
