Today in the United States there are 72,000centenarians（百岁老人）.Worldwide, Probably 450,000. If current trends continue, then by 2050 there will be more than a million in the US alone. Ac

12、cording to the work of Professor James Vaupel and his co-researchers, 50% of babies born in the US in 2007 have a life expectancy of 104 or more. Broadly the same holds for the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Canada, and for Japan 50% of 2007 babies can expect to live to 107.B. Understandably, there

13、are concerns about what this means for public finances given the associated health and pension challenges. These challenges are real, and society urgently needs to address them. But it is also important to look at the wider picture of what happens when so many people live for 100 years. It is a mist

14、ake to simply equatelongevity(长寿) with issues of old age. Longer lives have implications for all of life, not just the end of it.C. Our view is that if many people are living for longer, and are healthier for longer, then this will result in an inevitable redesign of work and life. When people live

15、longer, they are not only older for longer, but also younger for longer. There is some truth in the saying that“70 is the new 60”or“40 the new 30.”If you age more slowly over a longer time period, then you are in some sense younger for longer.D. But the changes go further than that. Take, for instan

16、ce, the age at which people make commitments such as buying a house, getting married, having children, or starting a career. These are all fundamental commitments that are now occurring later in life. In 1962, 50% of Americans were married by age 21. By 2014, thatmilestone(里程碑)had shifted to age 29.

17、E. While there are numerous factors behind these shifts, one factor is surely a growing realization for the young that they are going to live longer. Options are more valuable the longer they can be held. So if you believe you will live longer, then options become more valuable, and early commitment

18、 becomes less attractive. The result is that the commitments that previously characterized the beginning of adulthood are now being delayed, and new patterns of behavior and a new stage of life are emerging for those in their twenties.F. Longevity also pushes back the age of retirement, and not only

19、 for financial reasons. Yes, unless people are prepared to save a lot more, our calculations suggest that if you are now in your mid-40s, then you are likely to work until your early 70s; and if you are in your early 20s, there is a real chance you will need to work until your late 70s or possibly e

20、ven into your 80s. But even if people are able to economically support a retirement at 65, over thirty years of potential inactivity is harmful tocognitive(认知的) and emotional vitality. Many people may simply not want to do it.G. And yet that does not mean that simply extending our careers is appeali

21、ng. Just lengthening that second stage of full-time work may secure the financial assets needed for a 100-year life, but such persistent work will inevitably exhaust precious intangible assets such as productive skills, vitality, happiness, and friendship.H. The same is true for education. It is imp

22、ossible that a single shot of education, administered in childhood and early adulthood, will be able to support a sustained, 60-year career. If you factor in the projected rates of technological change, either your skills will become unnecessary, or your industry outdated. That means that everyone w

23、ill, at some point in their life, have to make a number of major reinvestments in their skills.A. It seems likely, then, that the traditional three-stage life will evolve into multiple stages containing two, three, or oven more different careers. Each of these stages could potentially be different.

24、In one the focus could be on building financial success and personal achievement, in another on creating a better work/life balance, still another on exploring and understanding options more fully, or becoming an independent producer, yet another on making a social Contribution. These stages will sp

25、an sectors, take people to different cities, and provide Foundation for building a wide variety of skills.J) Transitions between stages could be marked withsabbaticals(休假) as people find tim rest and recharge their health, re-invest in their relationships, or improve their skills. At times, these br

26、eaks and transitions will be self-determined, at others they will be forced as existing roles, firms, or industries cease to exist.K）A multi-stage life will have profound changes not just in how you manage your career, but also in your approach to life. An increasingly important skill will be your a

27、bility to deal with change and even welcome it. A three-stage life has few transitions, while a multi-stage life has many. That is why being self-aware, investing in broader networks of friends, and being open to new ideas will become even more crucial skills.L）These multi-stage lives will create ex

28、traordinary variety across groups of people simply because there are so many ways of sequencing the stages. More stages mean more possible sequences.M）With this variety will come the end of the close association of age and stage. I n a three-stage life, people leave university at the same time and t

29、he same age, they tend to start their careers and family at the same age, they proceed through middle management all roughly the same time, and then move into retirement within a few years of each other. In a multi-stage life, you could be an undergraduate at 20, 40, or 60; a manager at 30, 50, or 7

30、0; and become an independent producer at any age.N）Current life structures, career paths, educational choices, and social norms are out of tune with the emerging reality of longer lifespans. The three-stage life of full-time education, followed by continuous work, and then complete retirement may ha

31、ve worked for our parents or even grandparents, but it is not relevant today. We believe that to focus on longevity as primarily an issue of aging is to miss its full implications. Longevity is not necessarily about being older for longer. It is about living longer, being older later, and being youn

32、ger longer.36. An extended lifespan in the future will allow people to have more careers than now.37. Just extending ones career may have both positive and negative effects.38. Nowadays, many Americans have on average delayed their marriage by some eight years.39. Because of their longer lifespan, y

33、oung people today no longer follow the pattern of life of their parents or grandparents.40. Many more people will be expected to live over 100 by the mid-21st century.41. A longer life will cause radical changes in peoples approach to life.42. Fast technological change makes it necessary for one to

34、constantly upgrade their skills.43. Many people may not want to retire early because it would do harm to their mental and emotional well-being.44. The close link between age and stage may cease to exist in a multi-stage life.45. People living a longer and healthier life will have to rearrange their

35、work and life.【参考答案】 36-40 IGDNA 41-45 KHFMCSection C Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.In the classic marriagevow（誓约）, couples promise to stay together in sickness and in health. But a new study finds that the risk of divorce among older couples rises when the wife-n

36、ot the husbandbecomes seriously ill.“Married women diagnosed with a serious health condition may find themselves struggling with the impact of their disease while also experiencing the stress of divorce,”said researcher Amelia Karraker.Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham analyzed 20 years of data o

37、n 2,717 marriages from a study conducted by Indiana University since 1992. At the time of the first interview, at least one of the partners was over the age of 50.The researchers examined how theonset（发生）of four serious physical illnesses affected marriages. They found that, overall, 31% of marriage

38、s ended in divorce over the period studied. The incidence of newchronic（慢性的）illness onset increased over time as will, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.“We found that women are doubly vulnerable to marital break-up in the face of illness,”Karraker said.“Theyre more li

39、kely to be widowed, and if theyre the noes who become ill, theyre more likely to get divorced.”While the study didnt assess why divorce in more likely when wives but not husbands become seriously ill, Karraker offers a few possible reasons.“Gender norms and social expectations about caregiving many

40、make it more difficult for men to provide care to sick spouses,”Karraker said.“And because of the imbalance in marriage markets, especially in older ages, divorced men have more choices among prospective partners than divorced women.”Given the increasing concern about health care costs for the aging

41、 population, Karraker believes policymakers should be aware of the relationship between disease and risk of divorce.“Offering support services to spouses caring for their other halves may reduce marital stress and prevent divorce at older ages,”she said.“But its also important to recognize that the

42、pressure to divorce may be health-related and that sick ex-wives may need additional care and services to prevent worsening health and increased health costs.”46. What can we learn about marriage vows from the passage?A) They may not guarantee a lasting marriage.B) They are as binding as they used t

43、o be.C) They are not taken seriously any more.D) They may help couples tide over hard times.47. What did Karraker and co-author Kenzie Latham find about elderly husbands?A) They are generally not good at taking care of themselves.B) They can become increasingly vulnerable to serious illnesses.C) The

44、y can develop different kinds of illnesses just like their wives.D) They are more likely to contract serious illnesses than their wives.48. What does Karraker say about women who fall ill?A) They are more likely to be widowed.B) They are more likely to get divorced.C) They are less likely to receive

45、 good care.D) They are less likely to bother their spouses.49. Why is it more difficult for men to take care of their sick spouses according to Karraker?A) They are more accustomed to receiving care.B) They find it more important to make money for the family.C) They think it more urgent to fulfill t

46、heir social obligations.D) They expect society to do more of the job.50. What does Karraker think is also important?A) Reducing marital stress on wives.B) Stabilizing old coupless relations.C) Providing extra care for divorced women.D) Making men pay for their wiveshealth costs.Passage TwoQuestions

47、51 to 55 are based on the following passage.If you were like most children, you probably got upset when your mother called you by a siblings(兄弟姐妹的)name. How could she not know you? Did it mean she loved you less?Probably not. According to the first research to tackle this topic head-on, misnaming th

48、e most familiar people in our life is a commoncognitive(认知的)error that has to do with how our memories classify and store familiar names.The study, published online in April in the journalMemory and Cognition,found that the“wrong”name is not random but is invariably fished out from the same relationship pond: children, siblings, friends. The study did not examine the possibility of deep psychological significance to the mistake, says psychologist David Rubin,“but it does tell us whos in and whos out of the group.”The study also found that within that gr
