    The current approach which【C1】______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【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.

【C2】
选项 A、superior
B、regular
C、essential
D、adequate
答案D
解析 形容词辨析。由空格后的to meet the challenges．．．和下句的Only 1％．．．可知，本句应该是说，目前只关注年轻人和工作技能的做法是不足以应对人口结构的变化的，D项adequate意为“足够的”，符合语境，为正确答案。superior意为“上级的；优的”，regular意为“有规则的”，essential意为“必不可少的”，均不符合语境。
