　　答案A

　　本段所有句子都是线索句：

　　A. The use of anti-ageing drugs will greatly increase the number of centenarians.

　　对应最后一句：

　　Add in anti-ageing drugs, and centenarians will become two a penny.

　　再加上抗衰老药物的作用，满大街都将会是百岁老人。

　　重点是短语：two a penny 常见!

　　例句：Leggy blondes are two a penny in Hollywood..

　　在好莱坞，长腿金发美女遍地都是。

　　所以A是正确答案;

　　B和D的错误都是the emerging of centenarians 百岁老人的出现;

　　C. Life of the optimists will be usually extended to break the limit.

　　这是对第一句的拼凑和偷换!

　　第一句的意思是：This, optimists claim, will extend life for many people to today’s ceiling of 120 or so. 一些乐观的人说，这会使很多人的寿命延长到如今的寿命上限，即120岁左右。
