    Aging is not a disease, but as a person passes maturity(成熟期), the cells of the body and the 【C4】______they form do not function as well as they【C5】______in childhood and teenage years. The body provides less【C6】______against disease and is more【C7】______to have accident.

【C1】

选项 A、would
B、be used to
C、used to
D、used

答案C

解析 根据句意,但是人们现在比过去寿命高。used to表示“过去经常做……”,暗示现在并不如此,此处指过去的情况,正好与句意相符。would可表示“过去经常”,但不含“今昔对比”之意。注意该词组与be used to的区别,后者意为“习惯于……”,to为介词。D项之所以不对,是因为在以下词组中,当不定式省略时,通常要保留不定式符号to,如used to,be going to,mean to,ought to,try to,plan to等。
