1.requiring改为required 过去分词required作定语修饰retirement,表示被动。
2.√
3.accumulate改为accumulated 动词的过去分词作定语,表示被动和完成,修饰experience。
4.long改为longer 这里是同年轻人相比较,应该用比较级,表示老年人会花更多的时间。

_________(58)
A:contributing
B:helping
C:resulting
D:causing

答案：A
解析：
根据上下文，可以判断出此处应该是“近期的”或“最新的”,late通常不用来表示“最近”; latest可以表示“最新的”; contemporary“当代的”，此处不符合文意。而new “新的”，放在此处也不合适，所以只有recent最合适。
根据上下文，此处所填的一个名词用来表示社会环境的某种变化。increase“上升、增加”; progress“进步”; growth“生长、增长”; improvement“改进，改善”。显然，社会环境本身不会增长或进步，所以最合适的说法是the improvement in social environment。
这里考查的是work与介词搭配的用法。根据上下文意思，可以判断此处是要表达“找出答案、解决问题”的意思。而work for“为······工作”;work in“在······工作”; work off“排除、清理”，因此正确的答案应该是out。
首先，从搭配的层次来看，understand和gain通常都不与from搭配，所以只剩下learnt与gathered。 gather from“从······收集、搜集······”，在这里，结合上下文的意思，应该是从日本人的生活习惯中学到什么，所以learn from是正确搭配，答案是learnt。
这里要表达的是作出改变，make change是固定搭配，所以应该选择B。
根据句子结构，这里缺少的是一个名词，所以首先排除D。再看A、B、C 三个选项，这三个词都可以表示“部分、要素、成分”的意思，但是ingredient通常用来表示“原料、成分”; component通常表示“（文章、学术观点或者电子产品中的）部分或组件”; portion更多的是表示“（数量上的）一部分”。此处是饮食、食物中的原料、成分，因此最佳答案应该是 ingredient。
根据上下文可以判断，此处需要的是“有利的，有益的”。从词义来看，除supportive外，其余三个选项都可，但是helpful侧重于“助人的”之意。beneficial侧重对健康、身心或事业有益；advantageous多指有利于完成某事。结合此处的语境，应选择beneficial, 对人体有益。
此处是一个动名词与to搭配的结构，用来表达“引起、导致、促成”这样的意思，从语义与搭配两个层面来考虑，首先排除helping。 cause如果与to搭配，通常是 cause sb.to do sth.或者sth.cause damage to sth.;result to则通常表示“反应”的意思；result in “导致，引起”，所以最佳选择是contributing , contribute to“促成，为······出力”。
这里前半句是由although引导的条件状语从句，已经体现了转折关系，因此排除therefore与however。而根据前后的语义与语境，并无递进或进一步加深的关系，因此也不选even，所以最佳答案为actua价：虽然长寿是一件值得庆祝的事情，但是它实际上也是一个社会问题。
根据上下文可以判断，这里的老年人口的数量肯定是增长的。所以首先排除reduced, added通常作及物动词，此处也不合适，而multiplied“相乘、繁殖”，放在此处也不合适，结合日本的实际，此处最佳答案应该为doubled，老年人口数量翻倍。
即将面临经济危机，face a problem为固定搭配，通常表示“面对、面临······问题”。
这里考查的是 look和一些介词搭配的意义。根据上下文意思，此处应该表示“照顾、照料”，所以是look after0 look for“寻找”;look over“检查、从······上边看”;look out“小心、注意”。
这里表达的是退休年龄从65岁延长到70岁这样的一个调整，所以应该是上调，只有rise与raise能表达“上升”的意思。而rise通常作不及物动词，所以用raise，表示人为地上调。
此处是指工作可以带给老人的一些体验，characteristic首先可以排除掉。sentiment和feeling都能表示“情感和情绪”; sense“感觉”，且sense通常和responsibility这类词搭配，例如sense of humor“幽默感”，这里表达的是责任感与使命感，所以sense更好。
老年人在社会中扮演的角色，通常我们都用play roles这一固定搭配。

Americans of a"certain age"abound at the upper levels of American governance.President Trump is the most obvious example.Just over half of US senators wrll be 65 0r older by the end of this year.On the Supreme Court,five of rtine justices are over 65.These"senior citizens"make crucial decisions for the majority of Americans younger than them.Just eight decades ago,when the Social Security system began,65 was codified as the start of"old age".Now many people of that age may feel in the prime of life.Measured by years alone,Americans are on average getting older.A popular notion is that a war is brewing between generations-young working Americans resenting that they must pay more into SociaJ Security and Medicare to support an expanding group of older Americans.There's truth in that sentiment.I,ast year,there were 25 people over 65 for every 100 people between 18 and 64.And the worker-to-retiree ratio is projected to be even worse by 2030.But that idea is being challenged.To begin with,programs like Social Security and Medicare can be adjusted,as ihey have in the past.while certain trends,such as Americans delaying full retirement,could alter the projections.A pair of new government reports show that funding for Medicare will run out in 2026.The Social Security trust fund will dry up by 2034.Despite these warnings,modest fixes are available,including making small changes in the age of eligibility that recognize lengthening life spans.Even that step may not be needed.By one estimate,increasing the Social Security payroll tax by 2.88 percentage points could eliminate the expected revenue shortfall for another three-quarters of a century.But actuarial tables,however useful for government planning,shouldn't impose artificial limits on what older Americans do.Aging isn't what it used to be.Today,75-year-olds on average will live just as many additional years as the average 65-year-old did in 1952.Categorizing by age can be just as harmful as by gender or race.Labeling people by an age category is a receiit phenomenon.The idea of being"middle aged"wasn't popularized until after World War I.Marketing continues to classify Americans by calendar years,walling off the beneficial effects of older and younger people rubbing shoulders.Companies are beginning to consider age diversity to be as important as racial and gender diversity.Some observers suggest businesses try the"shoe test":Look under desks.If everyone's wearing the same kind of shoes-whether wingtips or slipper-the business would benefit from more diversity.Today,suggests one expert,Americans have an opportunity to make a"fresh map of life itself",throwing off outworn ideas about aging.Policies that encourage older Americans to expand the possibilities of their"senior years"will help change limited perceptions and benefit all of society.
"That sentiment"（Line 4,Para.2）refers to the concern that

A.young working Americans will hinder social security reform.
B.the young and the old will have conflicting notions about life.
C.older Americans will be a huge financial burden for the young.
D.the old will compete with the young for working opportunities.

答案：C
解析：
根据That的回指功能可知That sentiment指第二段①②句内容：随着美国人口老龄化．许多人认为代际战争正在酝酿一一年轻的美国劳动者们不得不为社保和医保缴纳更多的税金，来养活越来越多的老年人，这让年轻人非常不满。可见C.符合文意。[解题技巧]A.将第二段②句年轻人的不满对象“（按照现有社保制度）支付更多的税金来养活老年人（pay more into social securIty.…）”改为与之相反的“社保改革（social security reform）”。且年轻美国人是“担忧的主体”而非“被担忧的对象”。B.对②句A popular notion is that a war is brewing beiwccn gcncralions断章取义，该内容并非说明“年轻人和老年人的观念冲突”，而是说明“有一种流行观念：（就养老问题的）代际战争正在酝酿”。D.错误解读④⑤句数据，该内容说明“老年人与年轻人人口比例的变化”，与“老年人将与年轻人竞争工作机会”无关。

For someone with family difficulties, social workers may find a parenting class or a support group. For a homeless person, they may find a place for them to live and a career training program. For a student, they may find a mentor or a learning disability expert.

Many social workers give counseling. They talk to people about their lives and help them understand and solve their problems and to make plans.

Retirement Brings Most a Big Health Boost

The self-reported health of the newly retired improves so much that most feel eight years younger,a new
European study suggests.
This happy news was true of almost everyone except a small minority一only 2 percent一who had experi-
enced"ideal"conditions in their working life,anyway.
"The results really say three things:that work puts an extra burden on the health of older workers,that
the effects of this extra burden are largely relieved by retirement and,finally,that both the extra burden and
the relief are larger when working conditions are poor,"said Hugo Westerlund,lead author of a study pub-
lished online Nov. 9 in The Lancet（柳叶刀）." This indicates that there is need to provide opportunities for
older workers to decrease the demands in their work out of concern for their health and well-being."
But of course,added Westerlund,who is head of epidemiology at the Stress Research Institute at
Stockholm University in Sweden,"not all older workers suffer from poor perceived health.Many are indeed
remarkably healthy and fit for work.But sooner or later,everyone has to slow down because of old age catch-
ing up."
Last week,the same group of researchers reported that workers slept better after retirement than before.
"Sleep improves at retirement,which suggests that sleeping could be a mediator between work and perception
of poor health,"Westerlund said.
This study looked at what the same 15,000 French workers,and most of them had to say about their own
health up to seven years pre-retirement and up to seven years post-retirement.
As participants got closer to retirement age,their perception of their own health declined,but went up
again during the first year of retirement.
Those who reported being in poorer health declined from 19.2 percent in the year prior to retirement to
14.3 percent by the end of the first year after retiring. According to the researchers,that means post-retire-
ment levels of poor health fell to levels last seen eight years previously.
The changes were seen in both men and women,across different occupations,and lasted through the first
seven years of not punching the clock.
Workers who felt worse before retirement and had lower working conditions reported greater improve-
ments as soon as they retired,the team found.

Europe is aging faster than most other parts of the globe.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案：C
解析：
从第一段“The self-reported health of the newly retired improves so much that most feel eight years younger…”可知，调查显示大部分刚退休的人健康状况都有所好转，他们声称自己 年轻了8岁。因此该句正确。
从第三段“… that work puts an extra burden on the health of older workers…”可知，工作给 年龄大的人带来额外负担，并且对他们的健康有很大影响，因此不能像要求年轻人一样要求他 们。故该句不正确。
该句文中未提及。通读本文发现，作者未提到老年工作者和年轻工作者相处的话题。
该句文中未提及。文中并未提到欧洲人是否比其他地方的人老得快。
根据第六段“… most of them had to say about their own health…”可知，该研究针对的是 退休前和退休后的老年人对自己的健康状况的自述，因此该句正确。
从第六段可知，该调查是对法国老人健康的调查，因此该句不正确。
该句文中未提及。文章中未提到这项研究的发现是否适用于全世界。

By suggesting"shoe test",observers advise companies to

A.allocate different tasks to people in different ages.
B.create a pleasant working environment for the older.
C.enhance cooperation among members.
D.promote age diversity of employees.

答案：D
解析：
根据题干关键词shoe test锁定第五段。该段首句指出公司开始重视年龄多样性，②③句随即介绍观察者建议：尝试“鞋子测试”，如果发现桌下每个人都穿着同一种鞋，那么公司将从更加多样化中受益。可以推测，此处“穿某一类鞋”代表“某一年龄层”，测试意在建议公司改变员工年龄单一化、促进年龄多样性，D.正确。[解题技巧]A.错误理解第四段④句：“按照年龄对人群进行划分（Categorizing by age）”并非指“给不同年纪的人分配不同任务”。B.符合文中大方向“公司应积极雇佣年长者”，但并非上下文提及内容。C.干扰源自第四段⑦句older and younger people rubbing shoulders暗含的“合作”之意，却漏掉了其中最为关键的信息“年轻人和老年人之间（的合作）”。

第6题：

Although there are disagreements over the definition of revolution,there is a standard view that revolutions are successful social movements on a much grander（ ）.That is,involving more people and much more social change.Although social movement like the U.S.Civil Rights
Movement may be working to enact some law or produce some reform in the society,revolutions like the Chinese Revolution are aimed at major social change.

A.level
B.scale
C.degree
D.range

答案：B
解析：
on a grand scale即“大规模地”，是常用搭配。A.level“水平，水准，级别”；C.degree“等级，程度，温度”，如：by degrees渐渐地；in no degree一点也不；in a degree惊人地；D.range“范围，系列，射程”，如：a country with a wide range of temperature一个气温变化很大的国家；people in the￡3,000/4,000 income range收入在三千至四千镑之间的人。

Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.Shock of gray:how we can fill the pension gap.
B.Shifting views of seniors:less burden,more asset.
C.An aging society:challenges,as well as opportunities.
D.Young Americans:how to make a fresh map of life?

答案：B
解析：
文章首段先提出现象“年长者在发挥着重要作用”。第二、三段反驳流行看法，指出“老年人不会成为年轻人的负担”。第四、五段进一步指出“对人们贴以年龄标签有害，公司应注重年龄多样化、积极雇佣年长者，并从中受益”。最后一段总结指出”我们应抛弃关于年龄的旧有看法”。可见本文论述重点为“改变对年长者的看法”，将其视为“财富”而非“负担”．B.为恰当标题。[解题技巧]A.与第三段内容相符，但无力涵盖全篇。C.偏离文章论述重点：虽然文中提到老龄化社会带来的挑战和机遇，但论述重点在于：“否定”老龄化社会所带来的“挑战”，“强调”年长者的“作用”，两者并非并列关系。D.利用末段首句make a“fresh map of life itself”设置干扰，但文章的重点在于“劝告人们重新绘制生命之图（抛弃对年龄的旧有看法）”而非“教导年轻人如何绘制生命之图”。

Questions 61-65 are based on Passage Two:

Passage Two

Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older, but men's minds decline（衰退） more than women's, according to the results of a worldwide survey．

Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images (useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills),while women tend to excel (擅长) at recalling information from their brain's files (helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects)．

Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixed．

Some studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline． Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors,“So they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline,” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in Egland．

People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category（范畴） as possible in the given time, e． g．“object usually I colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing．The first two were task at which men usually excel; the latter were typically dominated by women．

Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average． And though performance declined with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall．

The underlined word in the second paragraph means_________．

A． natural

B． great

C． obvious

D． absolute

Which of the following best represents the author's view?

A.The worry about an aging society is in fact groundless.
B.The new government report-s find little support.
C.Delaying full retirement is a dangerous tendency.
D.Issues arising from an aging society can be tackled.

答案：D
解析：
第三段指出，“人口老龄化将会给年轻人形成巨大的经济负担”这一看法正受到挑战：虽然政府报告警告“医保资金和社保基金数年之后将会枯竭”，但可以通过温和乎段进行解决，甚至无需推迟退休年龄，只需将社会保障工资税增加2.88%就可以填补未来75年的缺口。可见D.正确。[解题技巧]A.对第三段首句But that idea is being challenged断章取义，该内容说明“对老龄化社会的担忧可以解决”．且文中指出“担忧有据可依”（政府报告已警告社保基金枯竭，劳动者VS退休者之比确实在变糟）。B.错误理解⑤句转折之后信息：该内容并非指“政府报告不实、缺乏根据”，而是指“尽管有这些警告，但问题可以修复解决”。C.将Americans delaying full retirement，could alter the projections（“推迟完全退休趋势”有助于改变“老龄化将导致社保枯竭”这一预测）错误理解为“推迟完全退休是一种危险的趋势”。
