"In the long run," as John Maynard Keynes observed, "we are all dead. " True. But can the【1】run be elongated in a way that makes the long run【2】? And if so, how, and at what cost? People have dreamt of【3】since time immemorial. They have sought it since the first alchemist put an elixir of【4】on the same shopping list as a way to turn lead into gold. They have【5】about it in fiction, from Rider Haggard’s "She" to Frank Herbert’s "Dune". And now, with the growth of【6】knowledge that has marked the past few decades, a few researchers believe it might be within【7】.
To think about the question, it is important to understand why organisms-people【8】-age in the first place. People are like machines: they【9】That much is obvious. However, a machine can always be【10】A good mechanic with a stock of spare parts can keep it going【11】. Eventually, no part of the【12】may remain, but it still carries on, like Lincoln’s famous axe that had three new handles and two new blade.
The question, of course, is whether the machine is worth【13】. It is here that people and nature【14】. Or, to put it slightly【15】, two bits of nature disagree with each other. From the individual’s point of view,【16】is an imperative. You cannot reproduce unless you are alive.

选项
A、definitely
B、temporarily
C、effectively
D、indefinitely
答案
D
解析
A项definitely,确定的,不符合语境。B项表暂时的,与前面however转折后表达的意思相矛盾;C项“有效的”和D项“无期限的”应该说都符合句意,但是根据前述机器损耗和人体老化的类比,可以判断D更符合语境。
