Of course, if you became a new species (物種), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds.t new antiaging techniques keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working on treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most. So, if the average human life span is about 80 years, says Miller, adding another 50 percent would get you to 120.s all just guessing. Anyone can make up a number, says Rich Miller at the University of Michigan. Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine. t we go higher? Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees. People can live much longer than we think, he says. Experts used to say that humans couldn39。t entirely agree on the answers.

If scientists e up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150－or beyond?She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday. 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。根據(jù)最后一段中的there it is, your new formulaContext, Parts, Dictionary .

Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both word and meaning. It also encourages your development of the habits needed to accelerate your progress. And when you see in black and white the definition you had expected, what a feeling of acplishment is yours. In that way, the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximum effectiveness. ve looked for familiar word parts. Now you play Sherlock Homes. In light of context or word parts, you try to solve a mystery. What exactly does that strange word mean? Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to e up with a tentative （不確定的） definition should you open the dictionary to see if you39。Through the Dictionary. Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last, not first. You39。To speed up your use of word parts, you will be introduced to the fourteen most important words in the English language. The prefix and root elements in those few words are found in over 14, 000words. With those amazingly useful shortcuts, you can build up vocabulary, not at a snail39。Through Word Parts. Now for the next step. Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts, which, if recognized, provide definite help with meaning. Take the word monolithic for example. Try to separate the parts. There is the prefix mono, meaning one, and the rootlith, meaning stone. Finally, there39。t tell you which meaning is intended. That39。But there39。 s why you should use the CPD formula. How do you spend your time？To get it, Paul T. Rankin asked sixtyeight individuals to keep an accurate, detailed record of what they did every minute of their waking hours. He discovered that 70percent of their waking time was spent on one thing onlymunication. Put that evidence alongside the research findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories, they discovered that, vocabulary, more than any other factor yet known, predicts financial success. New words make us better thinkers as well as municators. What better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary？But how？推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷。 【點(diǎn)評】考查閱讀理解。 （3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。m not surprised that a private school would beat the public schools to it.
