16、 old ageDprovide people with access to scientific theory【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。基本上，每个人都有两个年龄：一个是按时间计算的年龄，年历上说的你的年龄；一个是生理年龄，基本上是指你的身体机能与同龄人的平均健康水平相比较的年龄。生理年龄决定了我们的健康，最终决定了我们的寿命。为了计算生物年龄，耶鲁大学的莱文教授通过简单的血液测试确定了9种似乎对寿命影响最大的生物标志物。莱文正在与一个小组合作，提供在线访问该算法的机会，这样任何人都可以计算自己的生物年龄，识别潜在风险，并采取措施改善自己的长期健康状况。1B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“a
17、 biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels(生理年龄，基本上是指你的身体机能与平均健康水平或健康水平相比较的年龄)”可知，生理年龄取决于与同龄人相比我们的身体状况如何。故选B项。2D句意理解题。根据第二段中的“In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles

19、 calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run(莱文正在与一个小组合作，提供在线访问该算法的机会，这样任何人都可以计算自己的生物年龄，识别潜在风险，并采取措施改善自己的长期健康状况)”可知，作者想通过例子告诉他们这种算法可以揭示我们潜在的健康问题。故选D项。4C细节理解题。根据最后一段的中的“By delaying the development of mental and physical functioni
20、ng problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years.That is the ideal we should be pursuing(通过延迟心理和生理功能问题的发展，人们仍然可以在晚年参与社会活动。这是我们应该追求的理想)”可知，该项研究的最终目标是让人们在年老的时候，依旧可以积极地进行社会生活。故选C项。阅读加油站essentially adv.实质上biological adj.生物学的basically adv.基本上determine v决定ultimately adv.最终地lifespa
