选项 60._________
A: against
B: for
C: to
D: from
答案 A
解析 通过上下文可知此处应为“年龄”。


bring ahout意为“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 hrought with these changes才符合语法，但意思就不符合文章了。


life span是一个固定搭配，意为“寿命”。


从下一句可以看出此处应指那些不治之症。


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后面也不应用比较级。


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。


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factor。


注意这里的which不是非限制定语从句中指代前面一句话的作用，而是指代前面两项内容：卫生的改善和杭生素的发明使用，所以which后的动词不用单三形式。cause 没有这样的语法搭配。


该选项为固定搭配，意为对某种疾病的预防接种。


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。


整句话的意思是：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。


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。


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。


obesitv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leading to，现在分词作结果状语。
