8、ur society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take lifelong responsibility for it
9、s employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair mo
10、del since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be fi
11、nanced through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government
12、 can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To sum up, all these options have advantages a
13、nd disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.1What is the writers main purpose in writing this article?ATo discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.BTo

17、与解析这是一篇议论文。这篇文章主要讨论解决老年人的问题的办法。文章提出四个解决办法，但是这些方法有利有弊。1A推理判断题。作者提出了老年人的问题，并提出了四个解决办法，总的看来，它们都有优缺点，结合使用就会有好的效果。由此可知，作者是讨论一个重要的社会问题的一些可能的解决方法。故选A。2B词义猜测题。上文提到政府应该承担照顾老年人的责任，根据本句话的意思以及其所在的语境可知，该词的意思是“实际的，可实行的”。句意：不幸的是，我们国家目前的状况表明，这不是一种真正可实行的解决方法。故选B。3D细节理解题。根据第四段中的This could be financed through governme

31、g and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by huntergatherers，small, tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12
32、，000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade，industrialisation, the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory educatio
33、n, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6，800 languages. The distribution of these languages is
34、hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1，000; Africa 2，400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200, of which
35、Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the world is languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6，800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers
36、 left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers)，Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a questionmark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.8What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer

39、文章第一段中的When the world was still populated by huntergatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them.可知，当世界以依靠狩猎为生的人居住的时候，小而联系紧密的群落形成了他们彼此之间
40、独立的讲话模式。当世界上的人口数量不到一千万时，语言种类达到了12，000种。由此推知，当时的语言种类很多。故选B。9C猜测词义题。根据文章第二段中的dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语正在替代其他语言。由此推知dominant languages意为：强有力的语言。故选C。10B细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的At present, the world has about 6，800 languages.和The median numb
41、er (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the world is languages are spoken by fewer people than that. 可知，目前世界上大约有6 800种语言，但是讲的人数少于6 000人的占一半即3 400.故选B。11C主旨要义题。根据文章第一段中的主题句Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.可知，语言的产生和消失进行了几千年，但最近时代语言产生的少，消失的太多。故选C。
