【C7】
选项 A、contribute
B、compare
C、strength
D、be drawn
答案A
解析 contribute to有助于，促成；contribute一词后常跟介词to，表示对某方面作贡献。compare后可接to或with，表达略有不同，compare to把……比作……，例：The poet compares the woman to rose．诗人把女人比作玫瑰。compare with…与……相比，例：If you compare me with my brother, you…如果你把我同我哥相比的话。be drawn to (sth.)为……吸引，喜欢。本文中的本句可看作为主题句，“很多原因可致使衰老”，后面具体叙说，因此，由后面文章内容可推断本空应选择A。
