问题 Which one of the following is not mentioned in paragraph 1 as the motivation for people to try to live a longer life?
What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
选项 A、Maybe individual’s living longer would not be such a good thing for our society as a whole.
B、It is the quality of life, instead of its length, that truly matters.
C、We have some related issues to worry about along with the citizens’ longevity.
D、The current welfare system is not ready yet to support such a large old-age population.
答案C
解析 考查对于段落主旨的把握。该段提出了大量的问题，意在提醒人们注意伴随着人们平均寿命的延长，相应的问题会逐步出现，而相关的部门和我们的一些制度都需要为了适应这样的变化进行调整。首句“As medicine tries to find out the means to extend life，culture and its institutions will have to deal with the consequences of success；”已经定下了全段的基调，寻找段落的主旨应该从这句话着手，而不能在那些具体的问题中纠缠；根据这样的思路，我们可以看到C项是正确的选项；A项涉及的高龄人口增长这样的事实是存在的，但其表达的对这一事实的态度是不符合原文的；误选B项的考生有可能借鉴了自己在生活中积累的常识，这句话是经常在生活中被提及的，而且本身是有道理的，但和文章关系不大；D项总结了作者担心的众多问题中的一个，不足以总结整个段落的主旨。
