At the age of twelve, the human body is at its most vigorous. It has 【C1】_____to reach its full size and strength, and its owner his or her full intelligence; but at this age the 【C2】_____ of death is least.
Earlier, we were infants and young children, and 【C3】_____ more vulnerable; later, we shall undergo a(n) 【C4】_____ loss of our vigour and resistance which, though imperceptible at first, will finally become so 【C5】_____ that we can live no longer, however well we look after ourselves, and however well society, and our doctors, look after us. This decline in vigour with the passing of time is called ageing.
Normal people 【C6】_____ to forget this process unless and until they are 【C7】_____ of it. We are so familiar with the fact that man ages, 【C8】_____ people have for years assumed that the 【C9】_____ of losing vigour with time, of becoming more likely to die the older we get, was something 【C10】_____. Most animals we commonly observe in fact age as we do, 【C11】_____ given the chance to live long enough; and mechanical systems like a wound watch, or the sun, will 【C12】_____ energy someday. But these are not 【C13】_____ to what happens when man ages. A run-down watch is still a watch and can be 【C14】_____. An old watch, by 【C15】_____, becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending. But a watch could never repair itself—it does not consist of 【C16】_____ parts, only of metal, which wears away by 【C17】_____.
We could, at 【C18】_____, repair ourselves—well enough, at least, to 【C19】_____ all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents. Between twelve and eighty we gradually lose this power, an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty can knock us 【C20】_____ .
【C9】
选项
A、procedure
B、procession
C、process
D、proceeding
答案
C
解析
考查词义复现及名词词义的辨析。生命随着时间流失而丧失活力,人随着年龄的增长而接近死亡都属于一种过程,原文该段第1句中的process一词很好地提示了应选C。procedure“一般指(工商、法律、政治等事务的)程序”;procession“行列,队伍”;proceeding“措施,行动;事件,事件过程”,常以复数形式出现。由于本题强调的是一种特殊的过程,C项process有专门强调“(大自然的)作用,(变化的)过程,进程”这一意思,故为最佳答案。
