In the next few years, hundreds of millions of Chinese people will enter old age while the birth rate (率) is
dropping fast. Since 2016, the newly-born population had decreased for seven years. This is a big warning for
China. As fewer babies are born, there will be fewer young people to work and support society.
Experts say that if nothing is done, it will seriously affect the economy (经济), healthcare (医疗), and
social welfare (福利). For the economy, there might not be enough workers to keep factories running and
businesses growing. In healthcare, more elderly people mean more needs for medical services, which could cause
stress to hospitals. And for social welfare, there will be more people needing pensions (养老金) and other
benefits, but it will be hard to keep the current level of welfare, because fewer young workers will contribute to
it.
China’s retirement (退休) age hadn’t been raised for many years, Now, top officials have decided to
gradually raise it. For men workers, it will increase from 60 to 63. For women workers, it will rise from 50 or 55
to 55 and 58, depending on the job.
This change meets the needs of the modern workforce. People live longer and healthier, and many jobs
need less physical strength. Also, workers and bosses can reach an agreement to put off retirement even later.
These new rules started on January 1, 2025. They’re important for China’s future as they help deal with the
aging population problem and keep the country developing better.
27．Why is the retirement age raised?
A．Because people want more pensions.
B．Because the current retirement age is too low.
C．Because the aging population causes problems in many ways.
28．How many years has the retirement age for men workers been raised according to the new policy?
A．2 years. B．3 years. C．4 years.
29．The underlined word “current” in the second paragraph means “______” in Chinese.
A．简单的 B．现在的 C．下降的
30．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．China’s population is dropping quickly.
B．The pension system in China needs to be improved.
C．China is raising the retirement age to deal with the aging population.
【答案】27．C 28．B 29．B 30．C【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述中国因人口老龄化和出生率下降，通过提高退休年龄来应对经济、
医疗和社会福利等方面的挑战。
27．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Experts say…social welfare”及第三段“China’s retirement age…to
gradually raise it”可知，老龄化问题导致经济、医疗和福利压力，因此需提高退休年龄。故选C。

60岁提高到63岁，增加了3年。故选B。

A Story I Know
As an important part of traditional Chinese culture, legends are of great importance for students to know
about national culture and history. Recently, I read a famous story called Yu Gong Moves a Mountain.
Once upon a time, Yu Gong decided to move the mountain because it blocked people’s way. One day, a
man told Yu Gong that he was too weak to move the mountain. After the man finished talking, Yu Gong continued
moving the mountain instead of caring about the man’s words. For a long time, many people laughed at Yu Gong
and thought he was silly. However, to their surprise, Yu Gong and his family moved the mountain at last.
This story reminds me that we should never give up when we meet difficulties.
【导语】本文主要讲述了7岁的萨拉看到妈妈烤牛里脊时切掉两端，询问原因后得知妈妈是按外婆的做
法，而外婆又是按太奶奶的做法，最后当她们去英国养老院看望太奶奶时，才知道切两端是为了让牛里
脊适合烤盘。
56．根据“One day, 7-year-old Sarah watched her mother roasting (烤) a piece of beef sirloin (里脊).”可知，她
妈妈烤了一块牛里脊。故填Her mother roasted a piece of beef sirloin.
57．根据“Then she covered it with gravy.”可知，最后她在牛里脊上浇了肉汁。故填Her mother put gravy
on the beef sirloin at last.
58．根据“After thinking for a minute, Mom answered that it was the way that her mother cooked it.”可知，是
Sarah的外婆教她妈妈这样做牛里脊的。故填Sarah’s grandma.
59．根据“After thinking, Grandma said she cooked the meat the way as her mother did.”可知，外婆这样做是
因为她妈妈就是这样做的。故填Because she cooked the meat the way as her mother did.60．根据“Great-grandma was quite old and lived in a residential nursing home (养老院) in England.”可知，太
奶奶住在英国。故填Sarah’s great-grandma lived in England.
