(2018·兰州高考实战模拟)In many developed countries, people who have high degrees begin to work longer than those who don’t. About 65% of American men aged 62－74 with a professional degree are in the workforce(劳动人口), compared with 32% of men who only finish high school. This gap is part of a deepening divide between the welleducated wealthy and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The consequences, for individuals and society, are profound.
The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity(长寿) translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many observers that this shift(变化) will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling(渐增的) ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.
Policies are partly responsible. Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early. Even the betteroff must work longer to have a comfortable retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated, and those people continue to reap(获得) rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the preceding(先前的) generation. Technological change may well reinforce(强化) that shift: the skills that complement(补充) computers, from management knowhow to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.

【解题导语】 文章向我们介绍了英语阅读练习的相关技巧，强调练习在任何领域都起着重要作用。
1．to improve 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：大多数人认为在任何尝试中，提升你技能最好的方式是练习、练习、再练习。the best way to do sth.为固定结构，意为“做某事的最佳方式”，动词不定式结构作后置定语。
2．equally 解析：考查词性转换。句意为：这一点同样适用于体育运动或成为一名好的音乐家、画家或医生。分析句子结构可知，apply to为动词短语，应用副词修饰。故填equally。
3．achievement(s) 解析：考查词性转换。句意：当然，天赋对于取得高成就起着重要作用……设空前为介词in，故填achieve的名词形式achievement(s)，作宾语。
4．applies 解析：考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：同样的原则适用于有能力的读者。根据句意及句子结构可知，The same principle为主语，且此处阐述的是客观事实，故谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填applies。
5．techniques 解析：考查名词单复数。句意：有些特定的技巧供你学习，然后练习取决于你自己。technique在此意为“技巧”，为可数名词，根据There are可知应用复数形式。故填techniques。
6．it 解析：考查代词。句意见上一题解析。It is up to sb.to do sth.为固定句型，it为形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。故填it。
7．whether 解析：考查宾语从句。句意：检测一篇文章是否难度适中的一种方式是读第一页。分析句子结构可知，test为动词，后接宾语从句，结合句意和空后的or not可知，此处填whether。

8．higher 解析：考查形容词的比较级。句意：如果生词率高于3%，你将很难读懂文章，因此可能也不会喜欢这篇文章。根据空后的than可知，此处应用形容词的比较级。故填higher。
9．on 解析：考查介词。句意：……你可以在网上找到有关这一主题的英文文章。on the Internet为固定搭配，意为“在网上”。
10．studying 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：你可以用那种方式练习用英语阅读和学习生物。由as well as可知，practicing和设空处并列，故填studying。
