参考答案
参考解析
解析：根据上下文，可以判断出此处应该是“近期的”或“最新的”,late通常不用来表示“最近”; latest可以表示“最新的”; contemporary“当代的”，此处不符合文意。而new “新的”，放在此处也不合适，所以只有recent最合适。
根据上下文，此处所填的一个名词用来表示社会环境的某种变化。increase“上升、增加”; progress“进步”; growth“生长、增长”; improvement“改进，改善”。显然，社会环境本身不会增长或进步，所以最合适的说法是the improvement in social environment。
这里考查的是work与介词搭配的用法。根据上下文意思，可以判断此处是要表达“找出答案、解决问题”的意思。而work for“为······工作”;work in“在······工作”; work off“排除、清理”，因此正确的答案应该是out。
首先，从搭配的层次来看，understand和gain通常都不与from搭配，所以只剩下learnt与gathered。 gather from“从······收集、搜集······”，在这里，结合上下文的意思，应该是从日本人的生活习惯中学到什么，所以learn from是正确搭配，答案是learnt。
这里要表达的是作出改变，make change是固定搭配，所以应该选择B。
根据句子结构，这里缺少的是一个名词，所以首先排除D。再看A、B、C 三个选项，这三个词都可以表示“部分、要素、成分”的意思，但是ingredient通常用来表示“原料、成分”; component通常表示“（文章、学术观点或者电子产品中的）部分或组件”; portion更多的是表示“（数量上的）一部分”。此处是饮食、食物中的原料、成分，因此最佳答案应该是 ingredient。
根据上下文可以判断，此处需要的是“有利的，有益的”。从词义来看，除supportive外，其余三个选项都可，但是helpful侧重于“助人的”之意。beneficial侧重对健康、身心或事业有益；advantageous多指有利于完成某事。结合此处的语境，应选择beneficial, 对人体有益。
此处是一个动名词与to搭配的结构，用来表达“引起、导致、促成”这样的意思，从语义与搭配两个层面来考虑，首先排除helping。 cause如果与to搭配，通常是 cause sb.to do sth.或者sth.cause damage to sth.;result to则通常表示“反应”的意思；result in “导致，引起”，所以最佳选择是contributing , contribute to“促成，为······出力”。
这里前半句是由although引导的条件状语从句，已经体现了转折关系，因此排除therefore与however。而根据前后的语义与语境，并无递进或进一步加深的关系，因此也不选even，所以最佳答案为actua价：虽然长寿是一件值得庆祝的事情，但是它实际上也是一个社会问题。
根据上下文可以判断，这里的老年人口的数量肯定是增长的。所以首先排除reduced, added通常作及物动词，此处也不合适，而multiplied“相乘、繁殖”，放在此处也不合适，结合日本的实际，此处最佳答案应该为doubled，老年人口数量翻倍。
即将面临经济危机，face a problem为固定搭配，通常表示“面对、面临······问题”。
这里考查的是 look和一些介词搭配的意义。根据上下文意思，此处应该表示“照顾、照料”，所以是look after0 look for“寻找”;look over“检查、从······上边看”;look out“小心、注意”。
这里表达的是退休年龄从65岁延长到70岁这样的一个调整，所以应该是上调，只有rise与raise能表达“上升”的意思。而rise通常作不及物动词，所以用raise，表示人为地上调。
此处是指工作可以带给老人的一些体验，characteristic首先可以排除掉。sentiment和feeling都能表示“情感和情绪”; sense“感觉”，且sense通常和responsibility这类词搭配，例如sense of humor“幽默感”，这里表达的是责任感与使命感，所以sense更好。
老年人在社会中扮演的角色，通常我们都用play roles这一固定搭配。

Move over Methuselah. Future generations could be living well into their second century andstill doing Sudoku, if life expectancy predictions are true. Increasing by two years every decade,they show no signs of flattening out. Average lifespan worldwide is already double what it was 200years ago. Since the 1980s, experts thought the increase in life expectancy would slow down andthen stop, but forecasters have repeatedly been proved wrong.
The reason behind the steady rise in life expectancy is "the decline in the death rate of theelderly", says Professor Tom Kirkwood from Newcastle University. He maintains that our bodies areevolving to maintain and repair themselves better and our genes are investing in this process to putoff the damage which will eventually lead to death. As a result, there is no ceiling imposed by thereahties of the ageing process."There is no use-by-date when we age. Ageing is not a fixed biological process," Tom says.
A large study of people aged 85 and over carried out by Professor Kirkwood discovered that there were a remarkable number of people enjoying good health and independence in their late 80s and beyond. With people reaching old age in better shape, it is safe to assume that this is all due to better eating habits, living conditions, education and medicine.
There are still many people who suffer from major health problems, but modem medicine means doctors are better at managing long-term health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease."We are reaching old age with less accumulative damage than previous generations. We are less damaged," says Professor Kirkwood. Our softer lives and the improvements in nutrition and healthcare have had a direct impact on longevity.
Nearly one-in-five people currently in the UK will live to see their lOOth birthday, the Office for National Statistics predicted last year. Life expectancy at birth has continued to increase in the UK--from 73.4 years for the period 1991 to 1993 to 77.85 years for 2007 to 2009. A report in Science from 2002 which looked at life expectancy patterns in different countries since 1840 concluded that there was no sign of a natural limit to life.
Researchers Jim Oeppen and Dr. James Vaupel found that people in the country with the highest life expectancy would live to an average age of 100 in about six decades. But they stoppedshort of predicting anything more.
"This is far from eternity: modest annual increments in life expectancy will never lead toimmortality," the researchers said.
We do not seem to be approaching anything like the limits of life expectancy, says Professor David Leon from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "There has been no flattening out of the best of the best--the groups which everyone knows have good life expectancy and low mortalit_y"he says.
These groups, which tend to be in the higher social and economic groups in society, can live for several years longer than people in lower social groups, prompting calls for an end to inequalities within societies.
Within populations, genes also have an important role to play in determining how long we could survive for---but environment is still the most important factor.
It is no surprise that healthy-living societies like Japan have the highest life expectancies in the world. But it would still be incredible to think that life expectancy could go on rising forever. "I would bet there will be further increases in life expectancy and then it will probably begin to slow," says Tom, "but we just donTt know."
Based on recent studies made by various scholars, which of the following factors plays afundamental role in man's longevity?

Passage 1
Move over Methuselah. Future generations could be living well into their second century and still doing Sudoku, if life expectancy predictions are true. Increasing by two years every decade,they show no signs of flattening out. Average lifespan worldwide is already double what it was 200 years ago. Since the 1980s, experts thought the increase in life expectancy would slow down and then stop, but forecasters have repeatedly been proved wrong.
The reason behind the steady rise in life expectancy is "the decline in the death rate of the elderly", says Professor Tom Kirkwood from Newcastle University. He maintains that our bodies are evolving to maintain and repair themselves better and our genes are investing in this process to put off the damage which will eventually lead to death. As a result, there is no ceiling imposed by the realities of the ageing process. "There is no use-by-date when we age. Ageing is not a fixed biological process," Tom says.
A large study of people aged 85 and over carried out by Professor Kirkwood discovered that there were a remarkable number of people enjoying good health and independence in their late 80s and beyond. With people reaching old age in better shape, it is safe to assume that this is all due to better eating habits, living conditions, education and medicine.
There are still many people who suffer from major health problems, but modern medicine means doctors are better at managing long-term health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. "We are reaching old age with less accumulative damage than previous generations. We are less damaged," says Professor Kirkwood. Our softer lives and the improvements in nutrition and healthcare have had a direct impact on longevity.
Nearly one-in-five people currently in the UK will live to see their 100th birthday, the Office for National Statistics predicted last year. Life expectancy at birth has continued to increase in the UK--from 73.4 years for the period 1991 to 1993 to 77.85 years for 2007 to 2009. A report in Science from 2002 which looked at life expectancy patterns in different countries since 1840 concluded that there was no sign of a natural limit to life.
Researchers Jim Oeppen and Dr. James Vaupel found that people in the country with the highest life expectancy would live to an average age of 100 in about six decades. But they stopped short of predicting anything more.
"This is far from eternity: modest annual increments in life expectancy will never lead to immortality," the researchers said.
We do not seem to be approaching anything like the limits of life expectancy, says Professor David Leon from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. "There has been no flattening out of the best of the best--the groups which everyone knows have good life expectancy and low mortality," he says.
These groups, which tend to be in the higher social and economic groups in society, can live for several years longer than people in lower social groups, prompting calls for an end to inequalities within societies.
Within populations, genes also have an important role to play in determining how long we could survive for--but environment is still the most important factor.
It is no surprise that healthy-living societies like Japan have the highest life expectancies in the world. But it would still be incredible to think that life expectancy could go on rising forever. "I would bet there will be further increases in life expectancy and then it will probably begin to slow," says Tom, "but we just don't know."
The purpose of the prediction saying that future generations could be doing Sudoku when they are over 100 is to __________.

A．report that doing Sudoku is a healthy living style
B．prove that doing Sudoku helps people move to Methuselah
C．predict that future generations will like Sudoku since it is very popular now

When countries develop economically,people live longer lives.Development experts have long Delieved this is because having more money expands lifespan,but a massive new study suggests that education may play a bigger role.The finding has huge implications for public health spending.Back in 1975,economists plotted rising life expectancies against countries'wealth,and concluded that wealth itself increases longevity.It seemed self-evident:everything people need to be health from food to medical care--costs money But soon it emerged that the data didn't always fit that theory.Economic upturns didn’t always mean longer lives.In addition,for reasons that weren't clear,a given gain in gross domestic product（GDP）caused increasingly higher gains in life expectancy over time,as though it was becoming cheaper to add years of life.Me moreover,in the 1980s researchers found ga ins in literacy were associated with greater increases in life expectancy than gains in wealth were Finally,the more educated people in any country tend to live longer than their less educated compatriots.But such people also tend to be wealthier,so it has been difficult to untangle which factor is increasing lifespan Permanent change Wolfgang Lutz of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Vienna and colleagues have now done that by compiling average data on GDP per person,lifespans,and years of education from 174 countries,dating from 1970 to 2010 They found that,Just as in 1975,wealth correlated with longevity.But the correlation between longevity and years of schooling was closer,with a direct relationship that did not change over time way wealth does When the team put both these factors into the same mathematical model,they found that differences in education closely predicted differences in life expectancy,while changes in wealth barely mattered Lutz argues that because schooling happens many years before a person has attained their life expectancy,this correlation reflects cause:better education drives longer life.It also tends to lead to more wealh,which is why wealth and longevity are also correlated.But what is important,says Lutz,is that wealth does not seem to be driving longevity,as experts thought-in fact,education is driving both of them Lifestyle choices Some medical professionals may not like these findings,"says Lutz,as they suggest schools may be a better health investment than high-tech hospitals.But RudigerKrech at the World Health Organization welcomes the study."It confirms education as a major social determinant of health,"he says-aconcept WHO actively promotes.But if medical health experts welcome the findings,economists are less comfortable Sangheon Lee,at the UN International Labour Organisation in Geneva,Switzerland agrees education affects lifespan but doubts that simple models like Lutz's can fully resolve cause and effect."It's a very difficult econometric problem,"he says,with health,wealth and education all affecting each other But Lutz says that extreme examples are telling.Cuba is dead poor but has a higher life expectancy than the US because it is well educated.Meanwhile in oil-rich but poorly-educated Equatorial Guinea,people rarely reach 60
Which of the following is true according to the findings of Wolfgang Lutz?A.The correlation between longevity and wealth changes as time goes by
B.His findings are roughly the same as the research made in 1975.
C.Longevity is driven directly by both of one's education and wealth
