问题     Older people must be given more chances to learn if they are to contribute to society rather than be a financial burden, according to a new study on population published recently.
    The current approach which【B1】______on younger people and on skills for employment not 【B2】______ to meet the challenges of demographic change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is【B3】______spent on the oldest third of the population.
    The 【B4】______ include the fact that most people can expect to spend a third of their lives in【B5】______, that there are now more people over 59 than under 16 and that 11.3 million people are【B6】______state pension age.
    "【B7】______needs to continue throughout life. Our historic concentration of policy attention and resources【B8】______young people cannot meet the new【B9】______, " says the report’ s author, Professor Stephen McNair.
    The major【B10】______of our education budget is spent on people below the age of 25. 【B11】______people are changing their jobs,【B12】______, partners and lifestyles more often than【B13】______, they need opportunities to learn at every age. 【B14】______ some people are starting new careers in their 50s and later.
    People need opportunities to make a "midlife review" to【B15】______to the later stages of employed life, and to plan for the transition【B16】______retirement which may now happen【B17】______at any point from 50 to over 90, says McNair.

【B14】
选项 A、For example
B、By contrast
C、In particular
D、On average
答案A
解析 考查逻辑关系。空前说人们需要有机会使他们在任何年龄阶段都能进行学习，空后说有的人在50岁或更大的年龄后才开创新的事业，揣测前后联系可以体会到，二者是一种顺承和举例的关系，后者论证前者，由此不难确定答案为A．For example。By contrast意为“相比之下”；Inparticular意为“尤其”：On average意为“平均”，均不符合题意。
