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 67 on younger people and on skills for employment is not 68 to meet the challenge of demographic change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is 69 spent on the oldest of the population.

The 70 include the fact that most people can expect to spend a third of their lives in 71 ,that there are now more people over 59 than under 16 and 11.3 million people are 72 state pension age.

“ 73 needs to continue throughout life. Our historic concentration of policy attention and resources 74 young people cannot meet the new 75 ” says the report’s author. Professor Stephen.

The major 76 of our education budget is spent on people below the age of 25. 77 people are changing their jobs, 78 , partners and lifestyles more often than 79 , they need opportunities to learn at every age 80 .some people are starting new careers in their 50s and later.

People need opportunities to make a “midlife review” to 81 to the later stage of employed life and to plan for the transition 82 retirement, which may now happen 83 at any point from 50 to over 90, says McNair.

And there should be more money 84 to support people in establishing a 85 of identity and finding constructive 86 for the “ third age”, the 20 or more years they will spend in healthy retired life.

【解題步驟】

速讀全文，把握大意，粗選答案。

1.速讀全文，首先判斷本次完形填空屬于論說文體，首段沒有空格，它往往就是文章的中心，它體現(xiàn)的觀點往往決定了全文的觀點。從本文首段可以看出作者重點論述對于年紀(jì)大一些的人的教育和再學(xué)習(xí)的問題。又根據(jù)每一段首句提供的信息，可以判斷本文的主題為教育。闡述了教育對于每個階段的人的重要性和終身學(xué)習(xí)的意義。

2.順手牽羊，粗選答案。

75. 在四個選項中，meet the new need表示“滿足新的需要”，desire愿望，欲望;realm界，領(lǐng)域，范圍; intention意圖，意向，目的。均不能與meet搭配。所以只有B項正確。

76. 在四個選項中，與education buget只有portion，所以此句的主語構(gòu)成“教育預(yù)算的大部分”。【語境詞匯題】

79. more often than ever“很頻繁地，比以往任何時候都”?！竟潭ù钆漕}】

82. transition名詞，表示過渡，轉(zhuǎn)變，變遷。常用的搭配transition 表示從過渡到【固定搭配題】

85. a sense of identity “自我認(rèn)同感”，是固定搭配?！竟潭ù钆漕}】

逐句細(xì)讀，答易留難，各個擊破。

67. B)。本題四個選項都可以與on連用，比較難選擇，留到最后仔細(xì)考慮?！菊Z境詞匯題】

68. D)。分析此句，主語中心詞approach"方式"，這句話主干表達(dá)的意思為“現(xiàn)在這種方式不足以適應(yīng)挑戰(zhàn)。”，所以選項中只有D項符合此義要求，其他選項均與此義相去甚遠(yuǎn)。【語境詞匯題】

難點點撥 干擾選項是C項，essential這個單詞看起來難度很大，意思是“重要的，必要的”，很多考生一看見這個詞認(rèn)為這個答案可能就是它，具有很大的迷惑性，根據(jù)句意，只有D項符合句意要求。

69. A)。根據(jù)復(fù)現(xiàn)原則，本段句首出現(xiàn)形容詞current表示“現(xiàn)在的，現(xiàn)行的”，此題選項中currently副詞表示“如今，當(dāng)下”，所以此選項很可能就是A項，根據(jù)句子表達(dá)的意思以及上下文語義邏輯關(guān)系，只有A項正確。【語境詞匯題】

70.C)。此題有一定的迷惑性，這個迷惑性出現(xiàn)在B項和C項，B項是表示“障礙”，C項“挑戰(zhàn)”。根據(jù)原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)原則，上一段中出現(xiàn)名詞challenge"挑戰(zhàn)"，此題選項中出現(xiàn)challenges, 所以此選項很可能就是C項。而且從含義上來說，接下來這一段所講的三點內(nèi)容也不屬于具體的障礙，只是說我們面臨的一個挑戰(zhàn)，面臨的問題，所以我們這里面要選C。【語境詞匯題】
