5、 people to retire early. Even the betteroff must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap(獲得) rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly

6、 are more productive than the preceding(先前的) generation. Technological change may well reinforce(強(qiáng)化) that shift: the skills that complement(補(bǔ)充) computers, from management knowhow to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age. 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　本文主要講述了在發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家有專業(yè)技能的人的工作年限更長(zhǎng)及其原因分析。 1．What is the common pheno

12、face difficulties and dangers B　解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)最后一段的最后一句“Technological change may well reinforce(強(qiáng)化) that shift: the skills that complement(補(bǔ)充) computers, from management knowhow to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.”可知，knowhow是對(duì)skills的限定修飾，由此可推知，knowhow指相應(yīng)的技能和知識(shí)，故選B。 二、單句語(yǔ)法填空 1．She w

36、e thousands of .Finally，he entered a university in he wrote many story books.Up till now， only forty，he has been very famous around the country. 第一處：ready后加to。考查動(dòng)詞不定式。be ready to do sth.為固定用法，意為“準(zhǔn)備好做某事；樂(lè)于做某事”。 第二處：but改為and/so?？疾檫B詞。Mike樂(lè)于助人，因此他在社區(qū)很受歡迎。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，此處用and/so連接兩個(gè)并列分句。 第三處：us改為me?？疾榇~。第二段

37、談及的都是Mike與作者本人之間的事，所以u(píng)s改為me。 第四處：about改為with?？疾榻樵~。Mike用他自己的經(jīng)歷鼓勵(lì)作者。with在此意為“以，使用”。 第五處：刪除to。考查介詞。tell sb.sth.為固定用法，意為“告訴某人某事”。 第六處：has改為had?？疾闀r(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)句中的As a little boy可知，此處敘述的是過(guò)去的事，故用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。 第七處：hardly改為hard。考查副詞。Mike學(xué)習(xí)努力，克服了很多困難。hard“努力地”，符合語(yǔ)境。hardly意為“幾乎不”。 第八處：difficulty改為difficulties。考查名詞的數(shù)。根據(jù)句

38、中的thousands of可知，此處用名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。 第九處：that改為which?？疾槎ㄕZ(yǔ)從句。定語(yǔ)從句的先行詞為university，關(guān)系詞作介詞in的賓語(yǔ)，所以用“in which”引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。 第十處：aging改為aged。考查形容詞。aged為形容詞，意為“……歲”，符合語(yǔ)境。 6EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F375
