Is a nation’s destiny set by its fertility rates? Japan has the world’s oldest【C1】______, but Japanese longevity can’t【C2】______for its extremely-low fertility rate—just 1.4 children per woman. One in four don’t have children. Some European countries also have low fertility rates, but top up【C3】______migrants. Japan does not.
The conventional view is that this is bad news: shrinking numbers【C4】______economic growth and the aging population is a major【C5】______burden. But there is another【C6】______The proportion of Japan’s population has almost twice as many over-65s as children.【C7】______Japan spends less on education.

选项
A、cater
B、stand
C、last
D、compensate
答案
D
解析
本段末提到欧洲国家的情况,跟日本进行对比。说到欧洲国家对生育率低的缺口进行“补充,填充”(top up),因此推断,空格处填入的词应跟top up近义,compensate for...意为“弥补、补偿”符合要求。
