Passage 4
Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values — this can't be repeated too often — are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying(腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car. It needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there's life, there's hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
It is implied in Paragraph 1 that ________.
从第一段中的“But is it interfering …care of ?”可知与此信息相对应的 C 选项“上年纪的人宁愿独自生活， 以便可以享受更多的自由。 ”正确。 A、 B、 D 选项所给信息与原文相悖， 故错误。
Some social workers think that ________.
从第一段最后一句话可知一些社会工作者认为把个人自由与老年人的健康与安全等同是危险的， 从而可推断出 A 选项（ 他们认为“健康与安全比个人的自由更重要） 符合题意。
In the author's opinion, ________.
尽管在第二段中出现了“The body is like… older.”但从第一句主题句“Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed.”和后面文中 “But…”语气的转折可以分析出人的身体不能像汽车一样说换个零件就轻松地换掉， 所以 A 选项正确。
The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
it 是代词， 代替前面的内容， 在此句中替代 than 比较状语从句中的主语， 所以 B 选项“whether age is happy or unhappy”中 whether 引导的主语从句正确。
The author thinks that ________.
作者从老年人的“personal free”与 “health, safety”入手论述“health, safety”是否重要， 又进而分析老年人的健康、 生命的延续无法同汽车更换零件一样简单， 最终得出结论， 对老年人真正重要的不是金钱或健康而是是否有能够快乐的能力， 所以与此观点相符合的 C 选项正确。
