People worldwide are living longer． Today， most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond． By 2050， the world's population aged 60 and older is expected to total 2 billion， up from 900 million in 2015． While this shift in proportion （比例） of a country's population towards older ages---known as ageing---started in high-income countries， for example in Japan， 30% of the population are already over 60 years old， it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change． （1） ____ At the biological level， ageing results from molecular （分子的） and cellular damage over time． This leads to a growing risk of disease and eventually death．（2） ____ That's why we say there is no "typical" older person． While some 70-year-olds enjoy extremely good health， other 70 year-olds are weak and require a lot of help from others． （3） ____ Retirement， relocation and the death of friends and partners are some of the possible reasons． For example， moving older people to a better house， which seems an admirable behavior， may do harm to their health eventually． （4） ____ Some people believe older people can be active and productive． A longer life brings opportunities， both for older people themselves and for society． They can pursue new activities such as further education or a new career． They also contribute in many ways to communities． （5） ____ This can lead to discrimination against older people． Therefore， society as a whole needs to address the ageist attitude by developing sound policies and offering various opportunities so that older people can experience fulfilling ageing．A． Nobody can ever escape from the ageing process．B． But these changes are only loosely linked to a person's age．C． Yet the extent of their contribution depends heavily on their health．D． Beyond biological changes， ageing is also related to other life changes．E． Although ageing is a universal trend， views towards older people divide．F． However， to others， older people are weak， dependent， and a burden to society．G． By 2050， many countries like Chile and China will have a similar rate of older people to Japan．
People worldwide are living longer． Today， most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond． By 2050， the world's population aged 60 and older is expected to total 2 billion， up from 900 million in 2015．
While this shift in proportion （比例） of a country's population towards older ages---known as ageing---started in high-income countries， for example in Japan， 30% of the population are already over 60 years old， it is now low- and middle-income countries that are experiencing the greatest change． （1） ____
At the biological level， ageing results from molecular （分子的） and cellular damage over time．
This leads to a growing risk of disease and eventually death．（2） ____ That's why we say there is no "typical" older person． While some 70-year-olds enjoy extremely good health， other 70 year-olds are weak and require a lot of help from others．
（3） ____ Retirement， relocation and the death of friends and partners are some of the possible reasons． For example， moving older people to a better house， which seems an admirable behavior， may do harm to their health eventually．
（4） ____ Some people believe older people can be active and productive． A longer life brings opportunities， both for older people themselves and for society． They can pursue new activities such as further education or a new career． They also contribute in many ways to communities． （5） ____ This can lead to discrimination against older people． Therefore， society as a whole needs to address the ageist attitude by developing sound policies and offering various opportunities so that older people can experience fulfilling ageing．
A． Nobody can ever escape from the ageing process．
B． But these changes are only loosely linked to a person's age．
C． Yet the extent of their contribution depends heavily on their health．
D． Beyond biological changes， ageing is also related to other life changes．
E． Although ageing is a universal trend， views towards older people divide．
F． However， to others， older people are weak， dependent， and a burden to society．
G． By 2050， many countries like Chile and China will have a similar rate of older people to Japan．

题目解答
答案
GBDEF
1．G．联系上文题．根据前文While this shift in proportion （比例） of a country's population towards older ages---known as ageing---started in high-income countries可知一个国家的人口比例向老龄化的转变（称为老龄化）开始于高收入国家．由此可知，本段介绍了各个国家老龄化的现象．G项：By 2050， many countries like Chile and China will have a similar rate of older people to Japan．到2050年，像智利和中国这样的许多国家的老年人比例将与日本相当．符合文意，故选G．
2．B．语境辨析题．根据前文This leads to a growing risk of disease and eventually death．可知这会导致越来越多的疾病风险，最终导致死亡．根据后文That's why we say there is no "typical" older person．可知这就是为什么我们说没有"典型"的老年人．B项：But these changes are only loosely linked to a person's age．但这些变化只是与一个人的年龄有着松散的联系．符合文意，故选B．
3．D．文章衔接题．根据后文Retirement， relocation and the death of friends and partners are some of the possible reasons．可知退休、搬迁及朋友和合伙人的死亡是一些可能的原因．D项：Beyond biological changes， ageing is also related to other life changes．除了生物变化外，衰老还与其他生活变化有关．符合文意，故选D．
4．E．理解判断题．根据后文Some people believe older people can be active and productive．可知有些人认为老年人可以积极而富有成效．E项：Although ageing is a universal trend， views towards older people divide．尽管老龄化是一种普遍趋势，但人们对老年人的看法是不同的．符合文意，故选E．
5．F．逻辑推理题．根据后文This can lead to discrimination against older people．可知这会导致对老年人的歧视．F项：However， to others， older people are weak， dependent， and a burden to society．然而，对其他人来说，老年人是软弱的、依赖的，是社会的负担．符合文意，故选F．

解析
考查要点：本题主要考查学生对语篇逻辑关系的把握能力，需要根据上下文语境选择合适的句子填入空缺处。
解题核心：
- 段落主题匹配：每个空所在的段落都有明确的讨论主题（如生物衰老、社会变化、老龄化观点分歧等），需选择与主题高度相关的选项。
- 逻辑衔接判断：通过上下文的关键词（如时间、因果、转折等）判断选项中句子的逻辑关系是否连贯。
- 选项特征分析：部分选项包含特殊信息（如时间、国家对比、观点对立等），需与原文对应信息匹配。
第（1）题
关键信息：前文提到“老龄化从高收入国家开始，但现在低收入国家变化最大”，后文需补充具体数据支持。
选项匹配：G选项“到2050年，像智利和中国这样的国家的老年人比例将接近日本”与前文“老龄化正在低收入国家加速”形成时间与国家对比，逻辑连贯。
第（2）题
关键信息：前文说明“衰老导致疾病风险增加”，后文强调“没有典型的老年人”，需说明衰老变化与年龄的松散关系。
选项匹配：B选项“这些变化与年龄松散相关”解释了为何不同年龄的老年人健康差异大，承上启下。
第（3）题
关键信息：后文列举“退休、搬迁等社会因素”导致健康问题，需引出“社会变化影响衰老”。
选项匹配：D选项“衰老还与其他生活变化有关”引出下文的社会因素，衔接自然。
第（4）题
关键信息：后文分两派观点（积极 vs 负面），需引出“对老年人看法存在分歧”。
选项匹配：E选项“尽管老龄化是趋势，但人们对老年人看法不同”总领下文的对立观点，逻辑清晰。
第（5）题
关键信息：前文强调“老年人对社会的贡献”，后文指出“这会导致歧视”，需引出对立观点。
选项匹配：F选项“对他人来说，老年人是社会负担”形成观点对比，推动文意转折。
