總體分析
本文介紹了羅馬人有關(guān)國(guó)家建設(shè)的理論。第一句指出羅馬人有關(guān)國(guó)家形成的理論很有特點(diǎn)。第二句至第五句指出，羅馬人的理論與希臘人的大不相同，是非常具體的。第六句至文章結(jié)尾具體闡述了羅馬人關(guān)于國(guó)家權(quán)力的所有和分配形式。
全文翻譯
奧古斯都(羅馬帝國(guó)第一代皇帝)的成功很大程度上歸功于羅馬人將國(guó)家理論化的特點(diǎn)。羅馬人沒有制定出讓希臘人感興趣的建設(shè)理想國(guó)家的宏偉藍(lán)圖。在柏拉圖的《理想國(guó)》中不涉及具體個(gè)人或國(guó)家的一種個(gè)人與國(guó)家之間的關(guān)系被詳細(xì)地設(shè)計(jì)出來(lái)，但羅馬理論家們幾乎無(wú)一例外地忽視或拒絕接受像《理想國(guó)》這樣的智力訓(xùn)練，認(rèn)為它們毫無(wú)價(jià)值。羅馬人接近希臘模式的是西塞羅的《論國(guó)家》，甚至在這本書中西塞羅的心中已經(jīng)對(duì)羅馬有了非常清楚的想法。即使涉及到宗教和道德概念，羅馬人關(guān)于國(guó)家的想法也是具體的。羅馬的第一位統(tǒng)治者羅穆盧斯被認(rèn)為從神，尤其是從羅馬的守護(hù)神宙斯那里獲得了權(quán)力。所有憲法的發(fā)展都是一種賦予和監(jiān)督這種權(quán)力的方法。很顯然，人們相信只有先父?jìng)兊牧⒎C(jī)構(gòu)，即一家之主們組成的初的參議院，才擁有行使這種權(quán)力所必需的宗教特質(zhì)，因?yàn)樗醯墓δ苁菍で笊竦膯⑹尽＜葘?shí)際又排外的參議員們將權(quán)力再進(jìn)一步分割，認(rèn)為他們的司法官或總管官員，將每隔一個(gè)月?lián)碛羞@項(xiàng)權(quán)力，并在之后將其擁有權(quán)擴(kuò)大到更低等級(jí)的官員。但是重要的成就是創(chuàng)造了持續(xù)的國(guó)家權(quán)力的概念，這種權(quán)力只是臨時(shí)體現(xiàn)在某些上層階級(jí)的個(gè)人身上，并且只有當(dāng)普通大眾一致同意的時(shí)候才被賦予。當(dāng)新的部門和立法機(jī)構(gòu)被創(chuàng)造出來(lái)并且?guī)缀鯖]有任何一個(gè)被擯棄的時(shí)候，這個(gè)系統(tǒng)變得越來(lái)越復(fù)雜。
【第二篇】
Having passed what I considered the worst obstacle, our spirits rose. We 1 towards the left of the cliff, where the going was better, 2 rather steeper. Here we found little snow, 3 most of it seemed to have been 4 off the mountain. There was no 5 of the mountain in the distance because the clouds were forming all around us.
About 1 o’clock a storm 6 suddenly. We had time to have 7 its approach but we were concentrating on cutting steps, and 8 we had time to do anything, we were blinded by snow. We could not move up or down and had to wait 9 , getting colder and colder. 10 my hood(兜帽), my nose and cheeks were frostbitten and I dared not take a hand out of my glove to warm them.
After two hours of this, I realized we would have to do 11 to avoid being frozen to death where we stood. From time to time through the mist I had 12 the outline of a dark buttress(扶壁)just above us, to descend in the wind was 13 question; our only hope was to scramble up to this buttress, and dig out a platform at the foot of it on which we could 14 our tent.
We climbed to this place and started to 15 the ice. At first my companion seemed to regard the 16 as hopeless but gradually the wind 17 and he cheered up. 18 we had made a platform big enough to put up the tent, and we did this as 19 we could. We 20 into our sleeping bags and fell asleep, felling that we were lucky to be still alive.

參考答案及解析：
1. 【答案】C. made
【解析】本題測(cè)試慣用搭配. make towards(=make for, go forwards, move in the direction of …) 朝….走去。
2. 【答案】B. though
【解析】本題測(cè)試邏輯搭配.though 表示讓步意義，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。因?yàn)閺木渲髡Z(yǔ)和主句主語(yǔ)相同，從句謂語(yǔ)又包含be,所以從句中的主語(yǔ)和助動(dòng)詞可以省略。例如：1) The girl, though plain, had a good kind face. 2) I went on talking , though continually interrupted by John.
3. 【答案】C. as
【解析】本題測(cè)試邏輯搭配.從上下文意思看，本句中從句與主句的聯(lián)系是因果關(guān)系，故選 as,表示原因，其他詞均不切題。
4. 【答案】D. blown
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配.fallen 和flown均為不及物動(dòng)詞，不能用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。blow vt.吹，正合題意。
本句譯文：這里我們沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)什么雪，因?yàn)榇蟛糠盅┧坪跻褟纳缴瞎巫吡恕?BR> 5. 【答案】A. view
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配. 此處view 意為“看見的東西，景色”，例如：Your house has a fine view of the hills. (從你的房子能看到這些小山的美麗景色。)本句譯文：看不到遠(yuǎn)處的山，因?yàn)槲覀兯闹艿脑茖诱谛纬伞?BR> 6. 【答案】A. came up
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義型慣用搭配.come up (=happen)發(fā)生，形成：A snowstorm is coming up. (一場(chǎng)暴風(fēng)雪正在醞釀之中。)本句中有suddenly, 故用came up 比came on 更妥。
7. 【答案】B. noticed
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配. notify vt.(=inform sb. of sth. ; report sth. to sb.) 通知，報(bào)告。glance(at) (=take a quick look at) 看一眼(強(qiáng)調(diào)行為的過程)。因此，notify和glance均不符合題意。notice vt. ( =become aware of; observe)注意到;留心;看到(強(qiáng)調(diào)行為的結(jié)果);view vt.(=look at or watch carefully)仔細(xì)察看，注視(強(qiáng)調(diào)行為的過程)。可見，此句中應(yīng)選，noticed.
8. 【答案】B. before
【解析】本題測(cè)試邏輯搭配.
本句譯文：我們本來(lái)應(yīng)該注意到風(fēng)暴的來(lái)臨，但是那時(shí)我們正在集中精力開路。我們還來(lái)不及采取任何措施，就已被白雪照的眼花繚亂。
9. 【答案】A. motionlessly
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配.前半句提到“不能上下走動(dòng)”，所以“不得不一動(dòng)不動(dòng)的等待”。根據(jù)這種邏輯意思，只能選motionlessly.
10. 【答案】A. In spite of
【解析】本題測(cè)試邏輯搭配. in spite of 盡管：In spite of the heavy rain, she went to the shop. in relation to 關(guān)于，至于。in case of 萬(wàn)一。in the event of 萬(wàn)一發(fā)生。
11. 【答案】C. something
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義型邏輯搭配.“do something +動(dòng)詞不定式”常譯為“采取措施以便能做….”。在否定句中可以用 not ….anything 或nothing.例如：I can do nothing to get rid of the embarrassing situation. (我實(shí)在無(wú)能為力擺脫困境)。
本句譯文：這種情況持續(xù)兩個(gè)小時(shí)以后，我意識(shí)到我們必須想點(diǎn)辦法以免凍死在這里。
從句意看，只能選something.
12. 【答案】B. made out
【解析】本題測(cè)試慣用搭配.make out(=see and identify with effort or difficulty)辨認(rèn)出。
13. 【答案】D. out of the
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配. out of the question(=impossible) 不可能的。without question 毫無(wú)疑問，beyond question 毋庸置疑;in question 有疑問(做表語(yǔ))所談到的(做后置定語(yǔ))。

15. 【答案】B. cut away
【解析】本題測(cè)試慣用搭配。cut away 砍掉;cut off 打斷，中斷;cut down 消減;cut out 刪掉
16. 【答案】B. situation
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配. position(具體的)工作，職位;situation 工作，形勢(shì)，狀況;occupation 職業(yè)，工作;orientation 方向，方位;熟悉，適應(yīng)。根據(jù)題意應(yīng)選 B. situation.
17. 【答案】D. died down
【解析】本題測(cè)試慣用搭配. die out vt. 消失，滅絕;die off vi. 相繼死去;die back vi.(植物)枯死;die down vi. (=disappear or subside gradually) 逐漸消失;止息：1) The wind often dies down at sunset.(風(fēng)往往在日落時(shí)停息。) 風(fēng)的“停息”一般用die down 或die away,而火的“平息”常用die down 或die out.參閱 A Dictionary of English Phrasal Verbs(上海譯文出版社)。
18. 【答案】D. At last
【解析】本題測(cè)試邏輯搭配.at last 終于，終;符合上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。

【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配. as best one can/could 盡量好的：1) Do it as best you. 2) We comforted her as best as we could. 3) I’ll answer his two questions as best I can.
20. 【答案】D. crawled
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配. crawled (=move slowly, pulling the body along the ground) 匍匐而行。climb (=go up or over[sth.], esp. using one’s hands and feet) 攀爬，攀登：climb a wall, a mountain, a tree, a rope, the stairs, a hill. 本題是“爬進(jìn)睡袋”，故不能用climb. crash(=fall or strike suddenly, violently, noisily) 猛跌，猛撞：The bus crashed into a tree(公共汽車撞在樹上撞壞了)crash也可以作“沖入，闖入”解：Five people were killed in the aircraft crash. (5人在這次飛機(jī)失事中喪生。) 可見，crash不能入選。leap vi.(向前)躍;creep vi. 慢慢的，悄悄地或偷偷地移動(dòng)(尤其指彎著腰走)。綜上所述，只有D. crawled 符合題意。

預(yù)計(jì)(在實(shí)施監(jiān)控系統(tǒng)后)全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)違章超速行駛的罰單數(shù)量會(huì)增加兩倍，罰金數(shù)目一年達(dá)9000萬(wàn)。按照計(jì)劃，警察保留一部分罰金用以支付安裝和維修新攝像機(jī)的費(fèi)用，并且保證現(xiàn)有的攝像機(jī)中總是裝有膠卷。其余的罰金將上繳財(cái)政部。財(cái)政部長(zhǎng)們和警察都堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為該計(jì)劃的目的是提高公路的安全性。他們指出八個(gè)試點(diǎn)地區(qū)撞車事故減少了四分之一，嚴(yán)重傷亡事故減少至一半。
但是機(jī)動(dòng)車管理機(jī)構(gòu)擔(dān)心警察為了多開罰單會(huì)把攝像機(jī)裝在相對(duì)安全但行車速度較快的直行道上，還會(huì)為車速監(jiān)控?cái)z像機(jī)設(shè)置低合法車速標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，如把正常的每小時(shí)10英里限速提高到每小時(shí)15英里，每小時(shí)20英里限速提高到每小時(shí)26英里。這樣做會(huì)使司機(jī)盯著自己的里程計(jì)而不把精力集中到路面上，從而引發(fā)更多的交通事故。英國(guó)皇家汽車俱樂部(RAC)活動(dòng)負(fù)責(zé)人休。尼科爾森說，“嚴(yán)格上說，我們對(duì)車速監(jiān)控?cái)z像機(jī)并無(wú)意見，我們擔(dān)憂的是它們被安放的地點(diǎn)。如果把監(jiān)控?cái)z像機(jī)視為(政府)聚斂財(cái)政收入的手段而不是安全設(shè)施，那么警察就可能喪失他們?cè)隈{駛者心目中的威信”

Aging poses a serious challenge to OECD(Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development)countries，in particular，how to pay for future public pension liabilities. And early retirement places an__1__burden on pension financing. There is no easy solution，but__2__retirement could help.
Early retirement may seem like a worthy individual goal，but it is a socially__3__one，and makes the present public pension system difficult to sustain for long. The__4__reason is that more people are retiring early and living longer. That means more retirees depending on the__5__of those in work for their income. The__6__is worrying. In the next 50 years，low fertility rates and__7__life expectancy in OECD countries will cause this old-age dependency rate to roughly double__8__size. Public pension payments，which afford 30-80% of total retirement incomes in OECD countries，are__9__to rise，on average，by over three percentage points in GDP and by as much as eight percentage points in some countries.__10__is the pressure on pension funds that there is a danger of today‘s workers not getting the pensions they expected or felt they__11__for.
Action is needed，__12__simply aiming to reduce the__13__(and cost)of public pensions，or trying to__14__the role of privately funded pensions within the system，though necessary steps，may be__15__to deal with the dependency challenge. After years of__16__early retirement schemes to avoid__17__and higher unemployment，many governments are now looking__18__persuading people to stay in work until they are older. Surely，the thinking goes，if we are healthier now and jobs are physically less__19__and unemployment is down，then perhaps the__20__rate should rise anew.

總體分析
本文主要討論了老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國(guó)家現(xiàn)存養(yǎng)老體系帶來(lái)的挑戰(zhàn)。文章第一段指出老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國(guó)家?guī)?lái)的挑戰(zhàn)，并提出推遲退休可能對(duì)解決該問題有所幫助。第二段分析了早退休給養(yǎng)老體系帶來(lái)的問題，即越來(lái)越多的人早退休而壽命延長(zhǎng)，隨著出生率的降低，就會(huì)有更多退休的人依靠更少工作的人來(lái)為他們養(yǎng)老，養(yǎng)老金在國(guó)家財(cái)政中所占的比例增加，成為無(wú)法承受的負(fù)擔(dān)。第三段探討了解決方法，指出僅僅減少公共養(yǎng)老金的數(shù)量，增加私有養(yǎng)老的比例是不夠的，許多政府在考慮說服人們晚退休。
全文翻譯
老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國(guó)家，尤其是在如何支付未來(lái)的公共養(yǎng)老金負(fù)債方面，帶來(lái)了嚴(yán)重的挑戰(zhàn)。早退休給退休金的融資帶來(lái)了難以承受的負(fù)擔(dān)。沒有什么簡(jiǎn)單的解決方案，但推遲退休(年齡)可能有所幫助。
早退休可能看起來(lái)是個(gè)值得追求的個(gè)人目標(biāo)，但對(duì)于社會(huì)來(lái)說卻是昂貴的，它使當(dāng)前的公共養(yǎng)老金系統(tǒng)難以持久?；驹蚴歉嗟娜送诵菰缍鴫勖鼌s更長(zhǎng)。這意味著更多的退休人員要依賴在職者的資助作為收入。這一前景是令人擔(dān)憂的。未來(lái)50年，經(jīng)合組織國(guó)家的低出生率和預(yù)期壽命的增加將使這一老年依賴率提高大約一倍。占經(jīng)合組織國(guó)家全部退休收入30%-80%的公共退休金的支出，在國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值中的比例預(yù)期將平均增加超過三個(gè)百分點(diǎn)，而在有些國(guó)家甚至?xí)黾影藗€(gè)百分點(diǎn)。養(yǎng)老基金的壓力如此之大以至于現(xiàn)在的工人有得不到他們預(yù)期或認(rèn)為應(yīng)該得到的養(yǎng)老金的危險(xiǎn)。
行動(dòng)是必需的，但僅僅試圖減少公共養(yǎng)老金的慷慨度或增加系統(tǒng)內(nèi)私有養(yǎng)老金的作用，盡管是必要的，但在應(yīng)對(duì)這種依賴挑戰(zhàn)方面仍是不夠的。前些年為了避免下崗及高失業(yè)，政府采取提前早退休的方案，而現(xiàn)在許多政府正考慮勸說人們晚點(diǎn)退休。當(dāng)然，他們是這么想的，如果現(xiàn)在我們更加健康了、工作對(duì)體力的要求降低了、失業(yè)率也降低了，那么(工作)出席率可能也該重新上升了。

總體分析
本文介紹了羅馬人有關(guān)國(guó)家建設(shè)的理論。第一句指出羅馬人有關(guān)國(guó)家形成的理論很有特點(diǎn)。第二句至第五句指出，羅馬人的理論與希臘人的大不相同，是非常具體的。第六句至文章結(jié)尾具體闡述了羅馬人關(guān)于國(guó)家權(quán)力的所有和分配形式。
全文翻譯
奧古斯都(羅馬帝國(guó)第一代皇帝)的成功很大程度上歸功于羅馬人將國(guó)家理論化的特點(diǎn)。羅馬人沒有制定出讓希臘人感興趣的建設(shè)理想國(guó)家的宏偉藍(lán)圖。在柏拉圖的《理想國(guó)》中不涉及具體個(gè)人或國(guó)家的一種個(gè)人與國(guó)家之間的關(guān)系被詳細(xì)地設(shè)計(jì)出來(lái)，但羅馬理論家們幾乎無(wú)一例外地忽視或拒絕接受像《理想國(guó)》這樣的智力訓(xùn)練，認(rèn)為它們毫無(wú)價(jià)值。羅馬人接近希臘模式的是西塞羅的《論國(guó)家》，甚至在這本書中西塞羅的心中已經(jīng)對(duì)羅馬有了非常清楚的想法。即使涉及到宗教和道德概念，羅馬人關(guān)于國(guó)家的想法也是具體的。羅馬的第一位統(tǒng)治者羅穆盧斯被認(rèn)為從神，尤其是從羅馬的守護(hù)神宙斯那里獲得了權(quán)力。所有憲法的發(fā)展都是一種賦予和監(jiān)督這種權(quán)力的方法。很顯然，人們相信只有先父?jìng)兊牧⒎C(jī)構(gòu)，即一家之主們組成的初的參議院，才擁有行使這種權(quán)力所必需的宗教特質(zhì)，因?yàn)樗醯墓δ苁菍で笊竦膯⑹尽＜葘?shí)際又排外的參議員們將權(quán)力再進(jìn)一步分割，認(rèn)為他們的司法官或總管官員，將每隔一個(gè)月?lián)碛羞@項(xiàng)權(quán)力，并在之后將其擁有權(quán)擴(kuò)大到更低等級(jí)的官員。但是重要的成就是創(chuàng)造了持續(xù)的國(guó)家權(quán)力的概念，這種權(quán)力只是臨時(shí)體現(xiàn)在某些上層階級(jí)的個(gè)人身上，并且只有當(dāng)普通大眾一致同意的時(shí)候才被賦予。當(dāng)新的部門和立法機(jī)構(gòu)被創(chuàng)造出來(lái)并且?guī)缀鯖]有任何一個(gè)被擯棄的時(shí)候，這個(gè)系統(tǒng)變得越來(lái)越復(fù)雜。

Having passed what I considered the worst obstacle, our spirits rose. We 1 towards the left of the cliff, where the going was better, 2 rather steeper. Here we found little snow, 3 most of it seemed to have been 4 off the mountain. There was no 5 of the mountain in the distance because the clouds were forming all around us.
About 1 o’clock a storm 6 suddenly. We had time to have 7 its approach but we were concentrating on cutting steps, and 8 we had time to do anything, we were blinded by snow. We could not move up or down and had to wait 9 , getting colder and colder. 10 my hood(兜帽), my nose and cheeks were frostbitten and I dared not take a hand out of my glove to warm them.
After two hours of this, I realized we would have to do 11 to avoid being frozen to death where we stood. From time to time through the mist I had 12 the outline of a dark buttress(扶壁)just above us, to descend in the wind was 13 question; our only hope was to scramble up to this buttress, and dig out a platform at the foot of it on which we could 14 our tent.
We climbed to this place and started to 15 the ice. At first my companion seemed to regard the 16 as hopeless but gradually the wind 17 and he cheered up. 18 we had made a platform big enough to put up the tent, and we did this as 19 we could. We 20 into our sleeping bags and fell asleep, felling that we were lucky to be still alive.

參考答案及解析：
1. 【答案】C. made
【解析】本題測(cè)試慣用搭配. make towards(=make for, go forwards, move in the direction of …) 朝….走去。
2. 【答案】B. though
【解析】本題測(cè)試邏輯搭配.though 表示讓步意義，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句。因?yàn)閺木渲髡Z(yǔ)和主句主語(yǔ)相同，從句謂語(yǔ)又包含be,所以從句中的主語(yǔ)和助動(dòng)詞可以省略。例如：1) The girl, though plain, had a good kind face. 2) I went on talking , though continually interrupted by John.
3. 【答案】C. as
【解析】本題測(cè)試邏輯搭配.從上下文意思看，本句中從句與主句的聯(lián)系是因果關(guān)系，故選 as,表示原因，其他詞均不切題。
4. 【答案】D. blown
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配.fallen 和flown均為不及物動(dòng)詞，不能用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。blow vt.吹，正合題意。
本句譯文：這里我們沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)什么雪，因?yàn)榇蟛糠盅┧坪跻褟纳缴瞎巫吡恕?BR> 5. 【答案】A. view
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配. 此處view 意為“看見的東西，景色”，例如：Your house has a fine view of the hills. (從你的房子能看到這些小山的美麗景色。)本句譯文：看不到遠(yuǎn)處的山，因?yàn)槲覀兯闹艿脑茖诱谛纬伞?BR> 6. 【答案】A. came up
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義型慣用搭配.come up (=happen)發(fā)生，形成：A snowstorm is coming up. (一場(chǎng)暴風(fēng)雪正在醞釀之中。)本句中有suddenly, 故用came up 比came on 更妥。
7. 【答案】B. noticed
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配. notify vt.(=inform sb. of sth. ; report sth. to sb.) 通知，報(bào)告。glance(at) (=take a quick look at) 看一眼(強(qiáng)調(diào)行為的過程)。因此，notify和glance均不符合題意。notice vt. ( =become aware of; observe)注意到;留心;看到(強(qiáng)調(diào)行為的結(jié)果);view vt.(=look at or watch carefully)仔細(xì)察看，注視(強(qiáng)調(diào)行為的過程)。可見，此句中應(yīng)選，noticed.
8. 【答案】B. before
【解析】本題測(cè)試邏輯搭配.
本句譯文：我們本來(lái)應(yīng)該注意到風(fēng)暴的來(lái)臨，但是那時(shí)我們正在集中精力開路。我們還來(lái)不及采取任何措施，就已被白雪照的眼花繚亂。
9. 【答案】A. motionlessly
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義搭配.前半句提到“不能上下走動(dòng)”，所以“不得不一動(dòng)不動(dòng)的等待”。根據(jù)這種邏輯意思，只能選motionlessly.
10. 【答案】A. In spite of
【解析】本題測(cè)試邏輯搭配. in spite of 盡管：In spite of the heavy rain, she went to the shop. in relation to 關(guān)于，至于。in case of 萬(wàn)一。in the event of 萬(wàn)一發(fā)生。
11. 【答案】C. something
【解析】本題測(cè)試詞義型邏輯搭配.“do something +動(dòng)詞不定式”常譯為“采取措施以便能做….”。在否定句中可以用 not ….anything 或nothing.例如：I can do nothing to get rid of the embarrassing situation. (我實(shí)在無(wú)能為力擺脫困境)。
本句譯文：這種情況持續(xù)兩個(gè)小時(shí)以后，我意識(shí)到我們必須想點(diǎn)辦法以免凍死在這里。
從句意看，只能選something.
12. 【答案】B. made out

13. 【答案】D. out of the

(=disappear or subside gradually) 逐漸消失;止息：1) The wind often dies down at sunset.(風(fēng)往往在日落時(shí)停息。) 風(fēng)的“停息”一般用die down 或die away,而火的“平息”常用die down 或die out.參閱 A Dictionary of English Phrasal Verbs(上海譯文出版社)。
18. 【答案】D. At last
【解析】本題測(cè)試邏輯搭配.at last 終于，終;符合上下文的邏輯關(guān)系。

20. 【答案】D. crawled

(5人在這次飛機(jī)失事中喪生。) 可見，crash不能入選。leap vi.(向前)躍;creep vi. 慢慢的，悄悄地或偷偷地移動(dòng)(尤其指彎著腰走)。綜上所述，只有D. crawled 符合題意。

Aging poses a serious challenge to OECD(Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development)countries，in particular，how to pay for future public pension liabilities. And early retirement places an__1__burden on pension financing. There is no easy solution，but__2__retirement could help.
Early retirement may seem like a worthy individual goal，but it is a socially__3__one，and makes the present public pension system difficult to sustain for long. The__4__reason is that more people are retiring early and living longer. That means more retirees depending on the__5__of those in work for their income. The__6__is worrying. In the next 50 years，low fertility rates and__7__life expectancy in OECD countries will cause this old-age dependency rate to roughly double__8__size. Public pension payments，which afford 30-80% of total retirement incomes in OECD countries，are__9__to rise，on average，by over three percentage points in GDP and by as much as eight percentage points in some countries.__10__is the pressure on pension funds that there is a danger of today‘s workers not getting the pensions they expected or felt they__11__for.
Action is needed，__12__simply aiming to reduce the__13__(and cost)of public pensions，or trying to__14__the role of privately funded pensions within the system，though necessary steps，may be__15__to deal with the dependency challenge. After years of__16__early retirement schemes to avoid__17__and higher unemployment，many governments are now looking__18__persuading people to stay in work until they are older. Surely，the thinking goes，if we are healthier now and jobs are physically less__19__and unemployment is down，then perhaps the__20__rate should rise anew.

本文主要討論了老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國(guó)家現(xiàn)存養(yǎng)老體系帶來(lái)的挑戰(zhàn)。文章第一段指出老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國(guó)家?guī)?lái)的挑戰(zhàn)，并提出推遲退休可能對(duì)解決該問題有所幫助。第二段分析了早退休給養(yǎng)老體系帶來(lái)的問題，即越來(lái)越多的人早退休而壽命延長(zhǎng)，隨著出生率的降低，就會(huì)有更多退休的人依靠更少工作的人來(lái)為他們養(yǎng)老，養(yǎng)老金在國(guó)家財(cái)政中所占的比例增加，成為無(wú)法承受的負(fù)擔(dān)。第三段探討了解決方法，指出僅僅減少公共養(yǎng)老金的數(shù)量，增加私有養(yǎng)老的比例是不夠的，許多政府在考慮說服人們晚退休。
全文翻譯
老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國(guó)家，尤其是在如何支付未來(lái)的公共養(yǎng)老金負(fù)債方面，帶來(lái)了嚴(yán)重的挑戰(zhàn)。早退休給退休金的融資帶來(lái)了難以承受的負(fù)擔(dān)。沒有什么簡(jiǎn)單的解決方案，但推遲退休(年齡)可能有所幫助。
早退休可能看起來(lái)是個(gè)值得追求的個(gè)人目標(biāo)，但對(duì)于社會(huì)來(lái)說卻是昂貴的，它使當(dāng)前的公共養(yǎng)老金系統(tǒng)難以持久?；驹蚴歉嗟娜送诵菰缍鴫勖鼌s更長(zhǎng)。這意味著更多的退休人員要依賴在職者的資助作為收入。這一前景是令人擔(dān)憂的。未來(lái)50年，經(jīng)合組織國(guó)家的低出生率和預(yù)期壽命的增加將使這一老年依賴率提高大約一倍。占經(jīng)合組織國(guó)家全部退休收入30%-80%的公共退休金的支出，在國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值中的比例預(yù)期將平均增加超過三個(gè)百分點(diǎn)，而在有些國(guó)家甚至?xí)黾影藗€(gè)百分點(diǎn)。養(yǎng)老基金的壓力如此之大以至于現(xiàn)在的工人有得不到他們預(yù)期或認(rèn)為應(yīng)該得到的養(yǎng)老金的危險(xiǎn)。
行動(dòng)是必需的，但僅僅試圖減少公共養(yǎng)老金的慷慨度或增加系統(tǒng)內(nèi)私有養(yǎng)老金的作用，盡管是必要的，但在應(yīng)對(duì)這種依賴挑戰(zhàn)方面仍是不夠的。前些年為了避免下崗及高失業(yè)，政府采取提前早退休的方案，而現(xiàn)在許多政府正考慮勸說人們晚點(diǎn)退休。當(dāng)然，他們是這么想的，如果現(xiàn)在我們更加健康了、工作對(duì)體力的要求降低了、失業(yè)率也降低了，那么(工作)出席率可能也該重新上升了。
