Warren Buffett, who will host Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholders’ meeting on May 3rd, is an icon of American capitalism. At 83, he also epitomizes a striking demographic【C1】________: for highly skilled people to go on working well into【C2】________was once thought to be old age. Across the rich world, well-educated people【C3】________work longer than the less-skilled. Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the【C4】________, compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate. In the European Union the pattern is similar.
This【C5】________is part of a deepening divide between the well-educated【C6】________and the unskilled poor that is slicing【C7】________all age groups. Rapid innovation has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while【C8】________those of the unskilled. Those at the top are working longer hours each year than those at the bottom.【C9】________the well-qualified are extending their working lives, compared with those of less-educated people. The【C10】________, for individuals and society, are profound.
The world is on the【C11】________rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before.【C12】________the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600m to 1. 1 billion. The【C13】________of the 20th century, when greater longevity translated into more years in retirement【C14】________more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will【C15】________slower economic growth and "secular stagnation", while the【C16】________ranks of pensioners will bust government budgets.
But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the【C17】________old misses a new trend, the【C18】________gap between the skilled and the unskilled. Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people,【C19】________older skilled folk are working longer. The divide is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers are【C20】________retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce.
【C8】
选项
A、declining
B、squeezing
C、depressing
D、suppressing
答案
B
解析
动词辨析题。A项declining下降;B项squeezing压缩;C项depressing抑制;D项suppressing抑制。该句说:Rapid innovation has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while________those of the unskilled. 其中while一词表示“而”。强调比较、对比,故前后的内容对立相反。上文说快速的创新会提高高技能群体收入,其中raise“提高”为关键词,该空应填入其反义词,肯定是“降低”之类的词。A项decline表示“下降”时为不及物动词,故排除该项。C项depressing强调“压抑,使沮丧”,与收入不搭配;D项suppressing强调“镇压”,显然也与收入不搭,故排除这两项。B项squeezing表示“挤压,压榨”,符合语义,故答案为B项。
