Aging poses a serious challenge to OECD (Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development) countries, in particular, how to pay for future public pension liabilities. And early retirement places an【C1】______ burden on pension financing. There is no easy solution, but【C2】______ retirement could help.
Early retirement may seem like a worthy individual goal, but it is a socially【C3】______ one, and makes the present public pension system difficult to sustain for long. The【C4】______ reason is that more people are retiring early and living longer. That means more retirees depending on the【C5】______ of those in work for their income. The【C6】______ is worrying. In the next 50 years, low fertility rates and【C7】______ life expectancy in OECD countries will cause this old-age dependency rate to roughly double【C8】______ size. Public pension payments, which afford 30% ~ 80% of total retirement incomes in OECD countries, are【C9】______ to rise, on average, by over three percentage points in GDP and by as much as eight percentage points in some countries.【C10】______ is the pressure on pension funds that there is a danger of today’s workers not getting the pensions they expected or felt they【C11】______ for.
Action is needed,【C12】______ simply aiming to reduce the【C13】______ (and cost) of public pensions, or trying to【C14】______ the role of privately funded pensions within the system, though necessary steps, may be【C15】______ to deal with the dependency challenge. After years of【C16】______ early retirement schemes to avoid【C17】______ and higher unemployment, many governments are now looking【C18】______ persuading people to stay in work until they are older. Surely, the thinking goes, if we are healthier now and jobs are physically less【C19】______ and unemployment is down, then perhaps the【C20】______ rate should rise anew.
【C16】
选项
A、advancing
B、previous
C、ahead
D、preceding
答案
A
解析
形容词词义辨析。本题要求填入一个形容词修饰early retirement或early retirement schemes。从语义看,A项advancing“提前的,超前的”修饰early retirement意为“提前退休”,即比正常的退休年龄要早;B项previous“在前的,早先的”修饰schemes,意为“之前的早退休计划”,与前面的after语义重复;C项ahead“在前,提前”要放在所修饰的名词之后,如He kept his gaze fixed on the car ahead(他眼睛一直盯着前面的车);D项preceding“在前的,前述的”指在所提到的之前,或前文,也不符合文意。因此,A项为正确答案。
