问题 Debate about proposals to raise the retirement age of Chinese workers has been raging in China for the past few years. The compulsory retirement age in China is now 60 for men, 55 for female white-collar workers and 50 for female 【C1】______laborers.
The same thing is happening or being considered in most countries with a welfare system. People who are living longer require pensions for more years. In China’s case, women are probably【C2】______pension for over 20 years. Although people pay into pension funds, this does not【C3】______their future pension. Pensions are financed out of current taxation, so it is our children who will actually fund our【C4】______.
In Japan people who【C5】______retire at the age of 60 can still work for several years (until 65) for half or less of their last salary, because the retirement allowance is not enough for a【C6】______life after work. The official state pension sets in at the age of 65 (probably soon 67) only.
In UK too, but the problem is that they still have a huge youth unemployment problem. Employers are not taking on the new graduates and school leavers, so they just【C7】______around streets and cause problems and manual workers are just not fit enough to keep going, and end up needing more【C8】______ help.
A man from China holds that delaying the【C9】______age to 65 for men and 60 for women makes sense. However, it’s even better if it’s coupled with delaying job entry for youths by 1-2 years by introducing military training or community service (like the peace corps practice in US in the past) or non-paid apprentice training (like that practiced in Germany) for our youths. These【C10】______will not only benefit our youths but also solve any employment problems as a result of delayed retirements.
A. pensions B. options C. retirement D. sufficient
E. cover F. normally G. decent H. receiving
I. alternatives J. manual K. physical L. officially
M. hang N. consist O. medical
【C5】

选项

答案L

解析 officially,词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入副词。可选范围是officially“正式地,官方地”,normally“通常地,一般地”。该段阐述了日本人生活压力大,在规定的退休年龄之后还会继续工作至65岁,所以根据此意可推断,日本人的官方退休时间是60岁,而非通常退休年龄,故选officially。
