The world is on the top of a staggering rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before.【C1】________the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600m to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when longer life【C2】________more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift will lead to slower economic growth and【C3】________, while the swelling ranks of pensioners will smash government【C4】________.
But the notion of a sharp division between the working young and the【C5】________old misses a new trend, the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled. Employment rates are falling among younger unskilled people,【C6】________older skilled folk are working longer. The【C7】________is most extreme in America, where well-educated baby-boomers are【C8】________retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce.
Policy is【C9】________responsible. Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Longer life, combined with the replacement of generous pension plans【C10】________meaner ones, means that even the better-off must work longer to have a【C11】________retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to【C12】________rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than their【C13】________. Technological change may well reinforce that shift: the skills that【C14】________computers, from management expertise to creativity, do not necessarily【C15】________with age.
This trend will benefit not just【C16】________elderly people but also, in some ways, society as a whole. Growth will slow less dramatically than expected; government revenues will be in better【C17】________, as high earners pay taxes for longer. At the other end of the social scale, however, things look【C18】________. Manual work gets harder as people get older. The rapid innovation has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while【C19】________those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individuals and society, are【C20】________.
【C13】
选项
A、ancestors
B、descendants
C、predecessors
D、governors
答案
C
解析
受过高等教育的老年人从事的是脑力劳动,他们应比从事体力劳动的人群更能创造社会价值(more productive)。这些人比前一辈的人生产力高,故选C项predecessors“前辈”。A项ancestors“祖先”指祖辈以上的家族成员,B项descendants“后代”可指间隔多辈的后裔,文中无相关的语义提示。文章也没有提示来指明受过高等教育的老年人比他们的“主管,州长,董事”更具生产力,故D项governors不正确。
