For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious; the graying of America means jobs, coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation’s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. "In addition to the doctors, we’re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers," says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California’s (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学).
Lawyers can specialize in "elder law", which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. "Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money. " one professor says.
Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was "really bored with bacteria". So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, "I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying. " (266 words)
It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America’s elderly population
选项
A、will provide good job opportunities in many areas
B、will impose an unbearable burden on society
C、may lead to nursing home abuse and age discrimination
D、will create new fields of study in universities
答案
A
解析
本题属于主旨题。根据第一段中的“the graying of American means jobs”和“it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions and in law and business as well”(这也在医药、卫生行业以及法律、商业方面创造了工作机会)可见原文指出了许多人将受益于美国社会的老龄化,所以选A“将给许多领域带来好的工作机会”。B“给社会带来沉重负担”,文中只讲益处,故排除。C“会导致养老院的虐待事件和年龄歧视”,根据文意,老年扩大化与虐待和年龄歧视之间没因果关系,故排除。D“在大学里创造新的学习领域”,文章没提到老年学以及相关的知识是否是新的研究,也应排除。
