问题 According to the first paragraph, the grandfather resented
According to the author, the safety net can
选项 A、eliminate poverty.
B、relieve the pressure that comes with old age.
C、lead to a shrinking workforce.
D、have some negative effects on the economy.
答案B
解析 本题问根据作者所说，"safety net"的作用是什么。末段"Decades of safety-net culture have removed a lot of anxiety from our lives"表明作者认为"safety net"能够减少我们生活中的压力；且从上文得知"silver tea"是生活过得不好时喝的。因此末句"How do you honestly feel about drinking silver tea during your golden years?"用问句的形式表明没有社会保障的晚年是很悲惨的。故"能够减少上了年纪所带来的压力"正确。消除贫困："eliminate"过于绝对。"safety net"作为一种社会保障体系，只能缓解贫困，不可能消除贫困。导致劳动力的减少：取材于本段第二句中的shrinking worker contributions，但原文中并没有指出safety net是劳动力减少的原因。对经济造成一些负面的影响："shrinking worker contributions"不是"safety net"造成的。
