26、al part of life. It would seem silly to call such a thing a “disease”.On the other hand, scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things, and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, cancer and many more. In that light, ag
27、ing itself might be seen as something treatable, the way you would treat high blood pressure or a vitamin deficiency.Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease. He said that describing aging as a disease creates encouragement to develop treatments.“It unties the
28、 hands of the pharmaceutical(制药的) industry so that they can begin treating the disease and not just the side effects,” he said.“Right now, people think of aging as natural and something you cant control.” he said. “In academic circles, people take aging research as just an interest area where they c
29、an try to develop interferences. The medical community also takes aging for granted, and can do nothing about it except keep people within a certain health range. ”But if aging were recognized as a disease, he said, “It would attract funding and change the way we do health care. What matters is unde
30、rstanding that aging is curable.”“It was always known that the body accumulates damage” he added. “The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage. I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related conditions. ”Leonard Hayflick, a professor at the University of California, San Fr
31、ancisco, said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan can be increased, which some researchers suggest is possible. Hayflick is not among them.“Therere many people who recover from cancer, stroke, or heart disease. But they continue to age, because aging is separate from their di
32、sease,” Hayflick said. “Even if those causes of death were removed, life expectancy would still not go much beyond 92 years.”28.What do people generally believe about aging?A. It should cause no alarm whatever the circumstances.B. It should be regarded as a kind of disease.C. They just cannot do any
33、thing about it.D. They can delay it with advances in science. 29.How do many scientists view aging now?A. It might be prevented and treated.B. It can be as risky as heart disease.C. It results from a vitamin deficiency.D. It is an irreversible(不可逆转的) biological process. 30.What do we learn about the
34、 medical community?A. They now have a strong interest in research on aging.B. They differ from the academic circles in their view on aging.C. They have ways to prevent peoples aging process.D. They can contribute to peoples health only to a limited extent. 31.What does Professor Leonard Hayflick bel

Heart disease is the major cause of aging.DSea turtles are one of several species that have temperature-dependent sex determination. The number of female babies increase
36、s when nests are made in warmer sands. A recent study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, California State University and Worldwide Fund for Nature Australia examined two genetically distinct populations of green sea turtles living in the Great Barrier Reef. The study found that
37、a group of about 200,000 turtles living in the northern part of the reef was almost entirely female. While the southern population was 65 to 69 percent female, females in the northern group accounted for 99.1 percent of young turtles and 86.8 percent of adults. After combining their results with tem
38、perature data, the scientists in charge of the study found that the northern green turtles have been producing mainly females for more than two decades and that the complete feminization（雌性化）of this population is possible in the near future. The temperature at which the turtles will produce male or
39、female babies can be passed on to the turtles children. Most sea turtle populations are now producing offspring above the most suitable temperature, making it clear that climate change causes a serious threat to the survival of these populations. The chief executive Of World Wildlife Fund Australia,
40、 Dermot OGorman, said this is another sign of the impact of climate change, following recent research that shows that coral bleaching (珊瑚白化) events are occurring far more frequently than in the past. Weve had two years where weve had mass bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef, he told Guardian
41、Australia. Thats a very visible sign of the impact of climate change. But this is a quiet change. We cant see the impact its having on a turtle population until a study like this shows some long-term trends. The lead author of the paper, Dr Michael Jensen, said the findings represent a major environ
42、mental conservation issue. OGorman said more urgent action on climate change is clearly needed, adding that some conservationists have already taken practical measures, such as using shade cloth on turtle nesting beaches to lower the sand temperature, and reducing bycatch(误捕) in the fishing industry
43、. Shade cloth can be used in certain places, but theres a limit to the scale you can do that, he said. Now every large male who can reproduce is going to be even more important. 32. According to the research on Great Barrier Reefs green sea turtles, _.A. about 65 to 69 percent of northern turtles ar
44、e female B. 86.8 percent of southern turtles have grown up to adults C. the feminization of green sea turtles could become worse D. adult green Sea turtles can change their sex in warmer places 33.
