   [1] Have you ever had the wish to live another 100 years or more? Experts say that scientific advances will some day enable us to live tens of years longer than what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.

   [2] “I guess we are knocking at the door of living longer,” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075 we will            _________________ and that’s a conservative estimate (保守的估計(jì))."

[3]At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louris, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (納米技術(shù)) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years," he said.

   [4]However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to live past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.

   [5]Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have a good quality of life?" said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. "At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all."

Answer 1

【答案】

 

1.Scientific advances will enable humans to live longer.

2.reach / achieve/ accomplish that goal   

3.Advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology.

4.Whether people can live from 120 to 180 years.

5.Whether we could be healthy enough to have a good quality of life.

【解析】

試題分析：文章大意：科學(xué)家說(shuō)先進(jìn)的科學(xué)技術(shù)可以讓人的壽命得到延長(zhǎng)。

1.細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)文章第一段第二句Experts say that scientific advances will some day enable us to live tens of years longer than what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.可以歸納出答案。

2.歸納題。根據(jù)前后句可以歸納出這里為“實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)”這個(gè)短語(yǔ)，從而可以得出答案。

3.細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louris, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (納米技術(shù)) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past.，故可以歸納出答案。

4.推理題。根據(jù)文章上一段中的There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years可以歸納出答案。

5.細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段you know; could you be healthy enough to have a good quality of life?" said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre. "At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all."從而可以歸納出答案。
