It is an everyday observation that animals are born, grow, and mature, then begin to lose some of their capabilities, and finally die. This loss of capabilities is progressive, irreversible and common for all members of a species and is called aging. In humans it shows in many ways, some very visible: decline in height, shrinkage of muscle, thinning and graying of hair, and wrinkling of skin. Internally, and even more significantly, there is the progressive loss of cells in the brain, kidneys, and other vital organs. This cell loss has resulted in stoppage of a vital process. Whatever the reason, important tissues ranging from the muscles to the brain shrink and become less competent with age. Many of these changes are reflected in functional decline. Not only do nerve cells at levels from the brain to the spinal cord diminish, but also those that remain conduct impulses at a slower rate so that the reaction time of the older animal is slowed. Memory often shows a decline.
Another widespread decline is in the loss of cells involved in the hearing process. The loss is most masked for high pitches and may require tile assistance of a battery-operated hearing aid. More subtle are such declines as those in the processes involved with being immune to disease, which result in a lessoned ability of the older organism to cope with infection. Indeed, pneumonia is one of the most common causes of death among the elderly population of most nations.
Mixed with true aging processes are disease processes that may be so common as to be mistaken for aging. For instance, the buildup of deposits of fatty materials in arteries tends to be progressive with aging; everything else being equal, the narrowing of arteries results in such serious illnesses as stroke or heart attack, occurring with increasing frequency as an individual ages.
It is now recognized that arteriosclerosis is the result of many factors, not only genetic but also environmental high blood pressure, high saturated-fat diets, and smoking, the effects of which be come more obvious with the passage of time. It is therefore an age-related, but not a universal aging, process and can thus usually be controlled.
Which of the following statements about arteriosclerosis in NOT true?
选项
A、If a parent suffers from it, it is most likely that the child also does.
B、If a person has high blood pressure, he is more likely to contract it.
C、If a person smokes, he is most likely to contract it.
D、If the environmental factors are properly controlled, it can be prevented.
答案
D
解析
文章最后一句指出arteriosclerosis not a universal aging,process and can thus usually be controlled,表明它是不可控制的一个过程。其它三项属于文中提到的genetic和environmental reasons。
