Aging poses a serious challenge to OECD(Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development)countries, in particular, how to pay for future public pension liabilities. And early retirement places an【C1】______burden on pension financing. There is no easy solution, but【C2】______retirement could help.
Early retirement may seem like a worthy individual goal, but it is a socially【C3】______one, and makes the present public pension system difficult to sustain for long. The【C4】______reason is that more people are retiring early and living longer. That means more retirees depending on the【C5】______of those in work for their income. The【C6】______is worrying. In the next 50 years, low fertility rates and【C7】______life expectancy in OECD countries will cause this old-age dependency rate to roughly double【C8】______size. Public pension payments, which afford 30% ~ 80% of total retirement incomes in OECD countries, are【C9】______to rise, on average, by over three percentage points in GDP and by as much as eight percentage points in some countries.【C10】______is the pressure on pension funds that there is a danger of today’s workers not getting the pensions they expected or felt they【C11】______for.
Action is needed,【C12】______simply aiming to reduce the【C13】______ (and cost)of public pensions, or trying to【C14】______the role of privately funded pensions within the system, though necessary steps, may be【C15】______to deal with the dependency challenge. After years of【C16】______early retirement schemes to avoid【C17】______and higher unemployment, many governments are now looking【C18】______persuading people to stay in work until they are older. Surely, the thinking goes, if we are healthier now and jobs are physically less【C19】______and unemployment is down, then perhaps the【C20】______rate should rise anew.
【C5】
选项
A、donating
B、sponsoring
C、subsidizing
D、funding
答案
D
解析
动词辨析。填入的动名词作depend on的介词宾语,说明“退休人员依赖在职者的……以保障他们的收入”。关键是辨析四个核心动词的词义。四个选项都有“提供资金”的含义,donate意为“捐赠,捐献”,一般要接表具体物体、金钱的名词,所赠的对象一般是慈善事业或机构;sponsor意为“赞助(活动,节目等)”,而且目的常常是为了做宣传;subsidize意为“补助,资助(某人或组织支付某种费用)”;fund指supply with money“为……提供资金,资助”。文中说的是在职者“资助”而非“捐赠、赞助或补贴”退休工人的收入。D项符合文意,为正确答案。
