A recent BBC documentary, "The Town That Never Retired", sought to show the effects of【C1】______the state pension age by putting retirees back to work.【C2】______the results were entertaining, they need not have【C3】______. Away from the cameras,【C4】______numbers of older people are staying in work. Since the start of the recession, the number of 16- to 24-year-olds in work has fallen by 597,000. Over the same【C5】______the number of workers over the age of 65 has increased by 240,000.
The【C6】______of the British workforce dates back to around 2001,【C7】______when the proportion of older people working has nearly doubled. But it has【C8】______since the start of the recession. There are several【C9】______why. Happily, people are living longer and healthier lives, which makes staying in work less【C10】______than it was.【C11】______happily, low interest rates, a stagnant stock market and the end of many defined-benefit pension schemes make it a financial【C12】______And changing attitudes,【C13】______by rules against age discrimination, are making it easier than ever.
Most older workers are simply【C14】______at the office: 63% of workers over state pension age have been with their employer for more than ten years.

According to Stephen McNair, director of the Centre for Research into the Older Workforce, this【C17】______explains why older workers have not suffered so much in the slump.【C18】______reducing the workforce, as in previous recessions, many firms have【C19】______recruitment and cut working hours. At small businesses【C20】______, keeping on older workers is cheaper and less risky than training replacements.
【C1】
选项
A、increasing
B、improving
C、rising
D、reinforcing
答案
A
解析
空格处填入动词与state pension age“国家退休年龄”构成动宾搭配。其中C项rise为不及物动词,可首先排除;B项improve“改善”及D项reinforce“加强”不与“年龄”构成搭配。A项increase填入文中,指“提高退休年龄”,符合下文“老年人重回工作岗位”的说法。
