Paragraph 2 is written in the passage
But eighty or even ninety...normal life-span for humans(paragraph 3) is closet in meaning to
选项
A、on average, people now live to be over eighty.
B、we should recognize that people now live to between eighty and ninety on average.
C、nowadays it isn’t normal for people to die younger than eighty.
D、average life expectancy is increasingly being considered to be eighty or more.
答案
D
解析
句意猜测题。问题是问在文章中具体句子的具体含义。通过题干部分的信息可将解题范围定位于文章第三段倒数第四句,而正确理解这一句的关键所在是作者在之前一个部分的表述,即"We used to think that reaching seventy years old was a remarkable achievement,…"(我们过去常常认为人活到七十岁是极不寻常的事情)。而这一句中的remarkable和之后一句中的normal构成了一对反义词,但此处normal一词不应理解为"正常的"而应理解为"不足为奇"。又因为此句中的life-span(寿命)一词与答案选项中的life expectancy构成语义重现。
