选项 7._________
A: more deadly
B: deadly
C: less deadly
D: fatal
答案 C
解析 通过上下文可知此处应为A项ages“年龄”。
bring about意思是“带来”,bring in意为“赚取，实现（一定利润）”，没有 bring to这个短语，如果用with，此句话必须变成what has it brought with these changes才符合语法，但意思就不符合文章了。所以答案为B。
life span是一个固定搭配，意为“寿命”。所以答案为D。
从下一句可以看出此处应指那些不治之症。所以答案为B。
本句举了天花的例子，下一句指出很多孩子死于这些病，所以此处应为一个表严重的词。high是形容词，不能修饰后面的形容词。acute不是比较级，所以and后面也不能用比较级。所以答案为D。
本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失，通过常识得知应该是发达国家。所以答案为A。
本句后部分说在一些国家这些病已经消失，整段都在说明情况好转，故选C。
冒号后面列举的内容不能统一用其他几个词概括，只能用B项factors。
which指代前面两项内容：卫生的改善和杭生素的发明使用，所以which后的动词不能用单数形式。cause没有这样的语法搭配。所以答案为C。
vaccinations against…为固定搭配，意为对某种疾病的预防接种。所以答案为A。
前面说的是对疾病的防范和控制加强，后面说的是整体环境的改善，两者为并列关系，但是And在书面语中不能这样使用，所以只能选in addition，所以答案为C。
整句话意为：从基因角度看，人都能活到85岁，但是虽然现在人们寿命确实比以前长了，仍然有一些疾病使得我们不能都活到那个岁数。所以此处应该填一个转折副词。所以答案为D。
those指代流感和艾滋病等靠病毒传播的疾病，those后面的动词是过去分词作定语。spread的过去分词与原形相同。所以答案为A。
本句最后指出一些病越来越年轻化，所以此处应选择younger的反义词。所以答案为C。
obesity是心脏病和糖尿病年轻化的重要原因，它和心脏病、糖尿病不是并列关系，而是因果关系，所以选择B项leading to，现在分词作结果状语。
