问题     Older people must be given more chances to learn if they are to contribute to society rather than be a financial burden, according to a new study on population published recently.
    The current approach which【C1】______on younger people and on skills for employment not 【C2】______ to meet the challenges of demographic change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is【C3】______spent on the oldest third of the population.
    The 【C4】______ include the fact that most people can expect to spend a third of their lives in【C5】______, that there are now more people over 59 than under 16 and that 11.3 million people are【C6】______state pension age.
    "【C7】______needs to continue throughout life. Our historic concentration of policy attention and resources【C8】______young people cannot meet the new【C9】______, " says the report’ s author, Professor Stephen McNair.
    The major【C10】______of our education budget is spent on people below the age of 25. 【C11】______people are changing their jobs,【C12】______, partners and lifestyles more often than【C13】______, they need opportunities to learn at every age. 【C14】______ some people are starting new careers in their 50s and later.
    People need opportunities to make a "midlife review" to【C15】______to the later stages of employed life, and to plan for the transition【C16】______retirement which may now happen【C17】______at any point from 50 to over 90, says McNair.

【C9】
选项 A、desires
B、realms
C、needs
D、intentions
答案C
解析 考查名词辨析。此句意为“以前集中于年轻人的政策关注和资源无法满足新的______”，选项中的needs与learning needs to continue throughout life中的needs构成了原词复现，词性不同，词义一样。desire意为“愿望，希望”；realm意为“领域”；intention意为“意图，目的”。原句陈述的是客观需求，并不是主观意愿，所以排除desire和intention，realm不符合题意，故正确答案为C．needs。
