   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 【C1】______ which focuses on younger people and on skills for employment is not  【C2】______to meet the challenges of demographic (人口结构的)change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is currently spent on the oldest third of the population. The challenges 【C3】______ the fact that most people can expect to spend a third of their lives in retirement, that there are now more people over 59 than under 16 and that 11.3 million people are over state pension age.
   Professor Stephen McNair, the report’s author, says that 【C4】______ needs to continue throughout life and that our historic 【C5】______ of policy attention and resources on young people cannot meet the new needs. The major 【C6】______ of our education budget is spent on people below the age of 25. When people are changing their jobs, homes, partners and lifestyles more often than ever, they need opportunities to learn at every age. For example, some people are starting new careers in their 50s and later.
   People need opportunities to make a "midlife review" to 【C7】______ to the later stages of employed life, and to plan for the transition to retirement, which may now happen 【C8】______ at any point from 50 to over 90, says McNair. And there should be more money available to support people in 【C9】______ a sense of identity and finding 【C10】______ roles for the "third age", the 20 or more years they will spend in healthy retired life.
【C2】
选项
答案A
解析 系动词is提示空格处可填入形容词或分词作表语。下一句提到，只有1％的教育预算资金用于占总人口1／3的老年人身上，可见社会资源分配不合理，没法应对人口结构变化所带来的挑战，is not．．．应表达“不够、不足以”之意，A项adequate符合语义，为本题答案。scarce“缺乏的，不足的”为反向干扰，not scarce表达肯定的意思，不符合上下文语义，可排除。
