问题     I am not convinced that this argument is particularly good news for elders who may be【51】to enjoy the time of their lives. What maybe good news is perhaps best forgotten by those who are【52】on from day to day, and getting by as best as they【53】. Causation is itself an【54】matter for the unscientific mind. Which would you rather feel: that your cancer has been genetically【55】, induced by stress or caused by viruses? Brought about by your own folly in smoking cigarettes, as Kirkwood himself appears to take【56】granted — brought about casually and spontaneously through the operation of chance? If it is put before them in this way, most people would rather not think about the matter at all. Kirkwood takes a different view, maintaining that the more we know about the【57】process, the more we can "【58】a greater degree of personal control". Common sense certainly tells us oldies to take it easy, to cut【59】a bit on food and alcohol and strenuous exercise, but we know this from the feel of our【60】rather than from what we read about the progress of science.  [br]
选项 A、age
B、ages
C、aged
D、ageing
答案 D
解析 本题测试定语结构。ageing意为“老化”。既然有形容词供选择，就排除了名词A选项和B选项。aged是静态的，而老化是一个动态过程，所以D是正确答案。age意为“年龄”；ages意为“很长时间”(I haven’t seen her for ages. 我有很长时间没有看见她了。)aged意为“年老的”。
