The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs, coupled with the aging of the baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nations elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, were going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,” says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern Californias (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学). Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,” which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money,” one professor says. Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was “really bored with bacteria.” So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, “I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying.” 1. “. Old is suddenly in” (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means “_”. A) America has suddenly become a nation of old people B) gerontology has suddenly become popular C) more elderly professors are found on American campuses D) American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students 2. With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit _. A) from the adoption of the “elder law” B) from rendering special services to the elderly C) by enriching their professional knowledge D) by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests3. Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market? A) Retirees are more generous in spending money. B) They can employ more gerontologists. C) The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power. D) There are more elderly people working than before. 参考答案一、单项选择题1.答案：D。该题考查的是形容词的比较等级的用法。因为是太阳，地球和月亮三者进行比较，选用形容词的最高级，而且最高级之前要加定冠词the。所以选D。句意：-哪个最大？太阳，月亮还是地球？-当然是月亮。2.答案：B。该题考查的是形容词比较等级的用法。因为是现在和过去进行比较，所以要用比较级，又因为是修饰不可数名词，只能用less, 而不能用fewer。句意：他这个学期的进步比以往小得多。3.答案：B。该题考查的是形容词和副词的用法区别。因为该词修饰的是动作“做家庭作业”，所以要用副词。又因为表示一方不如另一方要用句型“not as+副词原级+as”，所以只能选B。句意：鲍勃从来不像玛丽那样认真做作业。他犯很多错误。4.答案：B。四个选项中可以修饰比较级的只有much。句意：运动会上，吴林跑得比其他男孩子都快。5.答案：C。本题考查固定结构。“The +比较级，the+比较级”表示“越，越。”句意：记住这句话，孩子们。越细心，就越少犯错误。6.答案：B。不定代词的定语都需要放在所修饰词的后面。句意：我今天有一些重要的事情要做。7.答案：D。speak highly of赞扬。句意：与约翰约会的女人总是对他赞不绝口。8.答案：D。too to表示否定含义“太而不能”，但是如果在这个too前面加上了否定词not/never/no以后，含义就变为“再也不过分”，“越越好”。句意：在街上骑自行车，你越小心越好。9.答案：A。present在场的，出席的。通常用作present at the party/meeting。句意：参加聚会的人都是他的支持者。10.答案：B。decisively决然地，果断地；reluctantly不情愿地；willingly自动地，欣然地；deliberately故意地。though一词提示我们，他虽然同意了去听音乐会，但是很不情愿。句意：他想在家，但是最后他很不情愿地去听音乐会。二、阅读理解题1. B 题目问Old is suddenly in是什么意思。 A. 美国已经突然间变成了一个老年人的国家。 B. 老年学突然变得流行起来。 C. 更多的老年教授在美国大学里任教。 D. 美国大学已经意识到招收年长学生的需要。 首先分析一下这个句子，old肯定不是指老年人，否则应该加上the，构成the old；另外要注意到old采用了首字母大写，可见是一个有特指的名词，观察四个选项，“老年学”是一个专有名词，可能性较大。句尾的in肯定不是作介词，表示“在里面”的意思，否则in后面应该连接宾语。in的另外一个意思是Currently fashionable，“当前流行的”，可能性较大。 结合上下文可知，Old is suddenly in的原因是the graying of America means jobs，美国人的老去意味着工作机会，也就是说，因为美国人的老龄化带来了很多工作机遇，所以Old is suddenly in。把四个选项代入这个因果句，只有B最为合适，同时这个句子也是全文论述的核心。 2. B 题目问随着美国人的老龄化，律师将会受益于 A. 老年法的实行。B. 向老年人提供特别的法律服务。 C. 扩大他们的专业知识。 D. 赢得老年人的信任，去为他们谋取利益。 这道题问的完全是有关律师的，这样就可以缩小我们的观察范围。文中讲到律师一共两处，第一处是在第一段末，were going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers，意思是我们需要更多的特别律师。第二处是在第二段初，Lawyers can specialize in “elder law,” which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination，意思是律师可以专攻老年法律，这种法律涵盖从信托、房地产到疗养院虐待、年龄歧视等许多事务。从这两句话可以理出这样一个逻辑顺序：因为老年人的增多，各种与老年人相关的法律事务也相应增多，如果一个律师专攻老年学的话，他就可以向老年人提供范围相当广泛的法律服务。 四个选项中，B的意思与此最为接近。A的说法也有一定道理，但是深究起来，一个不能向老年人提供法律服务的律师（意即没有专攻老年学）是无法从中受益的。C和D可以轻易排除。 3. C 题目问商人为什么能够在逐渐壮大的老年市场上赚钱。 A. 退休老人在花钱上更为大方。 B. 他们可以雇佣更多的老年学家。 C. 老年人具备很强的购买力。 D. 现在工作的老年人比过去要多。 第二段在谈完律师之后，就开始描述商人的情形。Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history，理解了这句话，答案也就不难找到了。前半句的意思与题目一样，becaus
