2.The life expectancy is the length of time that a person is normally likely to live.As it increases nowadays,the average person lives beyond the age of retirement.As a result,the elderly make up an ever-increasing percentage of society,which makes it more important to make effort to improve the lives of senior citizens.
First of all,one way would be to make sure that the elderly have enough money on which to live.Obviously,when a person stops working,they still require a source of income to cover their basic needs such as food,accommodation and heating.A clear solution to the problem is for the government to make sure that the state pension(養(yǎng)老金) is enough for these needs.
Measures should also be taken to overcome the health problems the elderly face.The government should also provide access to the best health care available,which may necessitate paying for residential homes where the elderly can have round-the-clock nursing,or,at least,providing medication free of charge to all people over a certain age.
If we try to address the problem of social isolation (社交孤立),the lives of old people could be improved.If we organize trips for the elderly to community centers,visits from social workers,their problem of loneliness can be reduced a lot which marks the lives of so many old people living alone and far from their families.
The last helpful suggestion is to change the attitude of the community towards its older members,who are all too often seen as a burden on society.We need to be taught from an early age to respect the views of old people,and appreciate their broader experience of life.This would help society as a whole,and encourage appreciation of the role that old people can still play today.

解答 C篇49---51 CCA
49.C根據(jù)The life expectancy is the length of time that a person is normally likely to live.As it increases nowadays,the average person lives beyond the age of retirement.可知,預(yù)期壽命是一個人可能活的時間長度.下句:隨著它的增長,可知it指的是"預(yù)期壽命",故答案為C
50:C 深層理解題.文章介紹了若干影響老年人生活的因素,其中包括養(yǎng)老金、醫(yī)療、社會隔離和社會態(tài)度,由此可知D項為正確答案.
51:A 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章最后一段中的"We need to be taught from an early age to respect the views of old people"可知,老年人應(yīng)該受到尊敬.
