17.British people are working to an older age.(61)The number of working 70-74-year-olds has doubled in recent years.Around 10% of people in (62)their (they) early 70s now work.This is the (63)highest(high) figure on record.An important reason (64)why the British work in their old age is that retirement pensions are becoming more difficult to live on.(65)Consequently(consequence) many older people have to work in order to survive.
Britain (66)has seen (see) great changes in the labor market during the last decade,(67)withfar more people working beyond their retirement age.While there are plenty who enjoy remaining in work,many need to earn extra cash because they cannot afford (68)to retire(retire) early.Older people need decent(體面地) jobs and pensions so that they can make a proper (69)choice(choose) about whether they remain in work.Now they are deciding on a career change later in life and are starting up their own businesses,(70)devoted(devote) to something they may have dreamed of doing for years.

分析 本文主要講述英國工人在退休后因退休金難以維持生活,不得不繼續(xù)工作以維持生存.

解答 61.The 考查冠詞.根據(jù)句中謂語動詞has doubled,主語應是單數(shù)形式,the number of意為"…的數(shù)目",是固定搭配,謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式.
62.their 考查固定搭配.表示人年齡的一種用法:in one's 70s,就是指某人70多歲.
63.highest 考查形容詞最高級.根據(jù)定冠詞the,用形容詞最高級.
64.why 考查定語從句.分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知這是一個定語從句,先行詞reason表示原因,在從句中作狀語,用關(guān)系副詞why.
65.Consequently 考查副詞.修飾句子用副詞,名詞consequence的副詞是consequently.
66.has seen 考查動詞時態(tài).根據(jù)句中時間狀語during the last decade,用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài),因Britain是單數(shù)概念,謂語動詞也應用單數(shù)形式,助動詞用has.
67.with 考查介詞.此處是witht復合結(jié)構(gòu),即:with+名詞+現(xiàn)在分詞.
68.to retire 考查動詞不定式.a(chǎn)fford后接動詞時,用動詞不定式作賓語.
69.choice 考查名詞.不定冠詞a后接名詞,動詞choose的名詞是choice.
70.devoted 考查過去分詞.be devoted to意為"專心于,致力于",是固定搭配,在此處作狀語.

點評 在一篇200詞左右的語篇(短文或?qū)υ挘┲辛舫?0處空白,部分空白的后面給出單詞的基本形式,要求考生根據(jù)上下文填寫空白處所需的內(nèi)容或所提供單詞的正確形式,所填寫詞語不得多于3個單詞.要做好語法填空題,理解短文是解題的前提,扎實的詞匯、句型和語法知識是基礎,英語國家的背景知識是必要的補充.考生須靈活運用語法知識,如單詞詞性、單詞時態(tài)、名詞單復數(shù)、連接詞、代詞、冠詞等判斷各空白處應填寫的內(nèi)容.答完后,還要通讀全文,核對所填單詞形式是否正確,是否符合語境.
