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【C1】______on younger people and on skills for employment not 【C2】______ to meet the challenges of demographic change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is【C3】______spent on the oldest third of the population.
The 【C4】______ include the fact that most people can expect to spend a third of their lives in【C5】______, that there are now more people over 59 than under 16 and that 11.3 million people are【C6】______state pension age.
"【C7】______needs to continue throughout life. Our historic concentration of policy attention and resources【C8】______young people cannot meet the new【C9】______, " says the report’ s author, Professor Stephen McNair.
The major【C10】______of our education budget is spent on people below the age of 25. 【C11】______people are changing their jobs,【C12】______, partners and lifestyles more often than【C13】______, they need opportunities to learn at every age. 【C14】______ some people are starting new careers in their 50s and later.
People need opportunities to make a "midlife review" to【C15】______to the later stages of employed life, and to plan for the transition【C16】______retirement which may now happen【C17】______at any point from 50 to over 90, says McNair.
And there should be more money【C18】______to support people in establishing a【C19】______of identity and finding constructive 【C20】______ for the "third age", the 20 or more years they will spend in healthy retired life.
【C1】
选项
A、operates
B、focuses
C、counts
D、depends
答案
B
解析
考查动词短语辨析。operate on意为“给…做手术,产生作用”;focus on意为“集中于,聚焦在”;count on意为“依靠;对…有信心”;depend on意为“依靠,依赖”。上文提到,一项新的研究指出,应该为老年人提供更多的学习机会,为社会奉献余热,这里接着指出目前的做法是什么。由语境可判断,现行的做法是与新研究冲突的,即目前的教育体系聚焦于年轻人而非老年人,故本题选B.focuses。此处的focus与第四段ourhistoric concentration of policy中的concentration构成同义复现。
