Throughout history, humans have suffered from a condition that they have never been able to escape—ageing. Some researchers, however, believe we may be thinking about it in the wrong way. They say we should start treating ageing itself as a disease—one that can be prevented and treated.
Their hopes are founded on recent discoveries that suggest biological ageing may be entirely preventable and treatable. From a biological perspective, the body ages at different rates according to genetic and environmental factors. Tiny errors build up in our DNA and our cells begin developing faults that can grow into tissue damage, which leads to ageing and ageing-related diseases.
One of the leading figures in human life research, Aubrey De Grey, explains in an interview that their goal is to develop a set of therapies for middle-aged and older people that will leave them physically and mentally equivalent(相当的) to someone under the age of 30. "Of course, without wiping their memories, " he adds. But he doesn ’ t think that will be possible to stop ageing altogether. He sees a future where "
rejuvenation
technologies" can be applied to old people in order to revert their cells to what they were like when they were in their youth, buying them extra time. The idea is that someone who is treated at the age of 60 will be biologically reverted to 30. But because the therapies are not permanent fixes, their cells will end up becoming 60 years old again in another 30 years time. [br] By "treating ageing itself as a disease" , some researchers mean______.
选项
A、aged people are liable to diseases
B、ageing can be dealt with like a disease
C、ageing is a disease hard to cure
D、ageing should be treated carefully
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知,我们应该开始把衰老当作一种可以预防和治疗的疾病,因此选项B(衰老可以像疾病一样治疗)符合文章意思。选项C(衰老是一种难以治疗的疾病)与文章意思不符。选项A(老年人容易生病)和选项D(应该谨慎对待老龄化)文中均未提及。故本题选B。
