Prolonging Human Life
1.Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population.Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago.Because more people live longer,there are more people around at any given time.In fact,it is a decrease in death rates,not an increase in birthrates,that has led to the population explosion.
2.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load.In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die.In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child.
3.In most contemporary societies,people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work.We also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age.Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement,somebody else must support them.In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people.Unless they have wealth or private or government insurance,they must often"go on welfare"if they have a serious illness.
4.When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create grave problems for their families.In the past and in some traditional cultures,they would be cared for at home until they died.Today,with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person.To meet this need,a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups.While a few of these institutions are good,most of them are simply"dumping grounds"for the dying in which"care"is given by poorly paid,overworked,and under-skilled personnel.Many people would have died of_______if they had been born 100 years ago.
A:too weak and ill
B:hunting and gathering cultures
C:childhood diseases
D:no one at home
E:epidemic diseases
F: traditional cultures答案：C解析：文章第一段提出了延长寿命会造成地球人口数量增加的观点，并解释了导致这一现象的原因。因此答案应当选择选项B。
文章第二段主要讲的是延长人寿命的同时也使要照顾的人数增加了。因此选择D项。
文章第三段主要解释为什么说老年人会是社会沉重的负担。因此选择A项。
第四段主要讲的是当今社会老年人生活的状况，及他们生病或身体变弱后会受到的照顾。因此选择F项。
文章第一段提到如果出生在100年前，很多人会早早死于儿童疾病。因此选项C是正确的。
文章第二段讲到在过去的狩猎和采集文化时代，部落里跟不上队伍的老年人会被撤下任其死去。因此选项B是正确的。
第四段第一句讲到，在如今的社会老人生病或变得虚弱会给家庭带来很大的负担。因此选项A是正确的。
文章最后一段描述现代社会的人们工作和生活的压力很大，大部分情况下没有人能留在家里照顾老人，因此选项D是正确的。 -

Prolonging Human Life
Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive
today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago.Because
more people live longer,there are more people around at any given time. In fact,it is a decrease in death rates,not an increase in birthrates,that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies,people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work;we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement,some-body else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people;unless they have wealth or private or government insur-ance,they must often“go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.
When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures,they would be cared for at home until they died. Today,with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need,a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built.These are of-ten profit-making organizations,although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups.While a few of these institutions are good,most of them are simply“dumping grounds”for the dying in which“care”is given by poorly paid,overworked,and under-skilled personnel.According to the passage,which of the following statements about retired people in the United States is true?
A: Many of them have a very hard life.
B: They cannot live a decent life without enough bank savings.
C: They rely mainly on their children for financial support.
D: Most of them live with their children and therefore are well looked after.答案：A解析：题干意为“作者认为造成人口爆炸的原因是什么？”利用题干中的细节信息短语population explosion作为定位线索，在第一段中找到相关句：In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion．该句意为 “事实上，是由于死亡率的下降，而不是出生率的上升，导致了人口爆炸”。因此，C项“死亡率的下降”是正确答案。
题干意为“从短文中可以推断出狩猎和以采集为生的时代……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语hunting和gathering cultures作为定位线索，在第二段中找到相关句： In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child．相关句意为 “在以狩猎和采集为生的时代，不能跟上其他人的老人会被甩在后面，任他死去。在饥荒时，人们会放任婴儿死亡，因为如果他们的父母饿死了，他们也无法生存，而如果父母生存下来可重新生儿育女”。因此，B项“遇到饥荒时，人们会放任婴儿死亡”是正确的答案。
题干意为“依据短文内容来看，关于美国退休人员的陈述下面哪个选项正确？”利用题干中的细节信息短语retired people和the United States作为定位线索，在第二 段中找到相关句：In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty．该句提到“在美国，许多退休人员依靠社会保障金生活，其数额非常微薄，使得他们几乎挣扎于贫困的边缘”，由此可知在美国许多退休人员的生活是很艰难的。这正是选项A表达的意思，因而A项“许多人生活艰难”是正确的答案。
题干意为“在第三段中，‘this need’…”。该题属于词汇题中的语篇衔接词 题。首先找到“this need”所在的句子：To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. “this need”应该回指上文中具体提到的需要，因此关 注上文，首先关注该句的前一句：Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person．该句意为“当今，由于家庭中大多数人都出去工作或上学，家里常常没有人来照顾有病或身体虚弱的人”。由此可知上文中提到的需要是“照顾有病的和身体虚弱的人”，因此答案为D项“需要照顾有病的和身体虚弱的人”。
题干意为“下面哪个选项能最恰当地描述作者对养老院和康复医院的态度？”该题属于主旨题，通常短文主题会在短文开头及/或短文结尾处有明确体现，因此首先关 注短文结尾处的句子：...most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which“care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel．该句提到“大多数机构只不过是丢弃垂死的人的‘垃饭场’，所谓的‘照顾’都是由收入低、超量工作、技术水平低下的人员提供的”。从作者的用词中可以看出作者在对包括养老院和康复医院的大多数机构持批评的态度，因此答案为D项“批评性的”。 -
