参考答案：
51 C 在四个选项中,选项应该是resent （最近的） .如果用late ,则用latest 才更符合上下文意思：而last 则是排前后次序的问题；modern 更不合适。
52 D “健康长寿是社会环境的……,显然应该是”改善“而不应该是”进步“,因为社会环境没有”进步“”落后“之分,更不可能是”增加“、增长”了。
53 A 回答这道题首先要分析本句的语法关系。
work 在这里是作为及物动词使用的, what 引起的从句是它的宾语,在四个洗项中只有A、D 可与其构成及物动词,work sth. out意为“努力搞清楚”而work sth. off则是“清除”的意思,显然应该前者合适。
54 A 填空时要注意空白处后面有介词的from,四个选项中只有A 和B 后面可与from 搭配,learn sth. from 意为“从……中学到……”而gather sth. from 则是“从……中搜集到……”。
故只有A 项合适。
55 B 空白处后面有any changes 做它的宾语,从上下文可以很容易猜出,这里的意思应该是“做出某种改变”而make any changes 正好是表达这个意思的习惯用法,其他选项均不合适。
56 B 从语法上分析,从空白处起至句子结束应该是一个定语从句,作ingredient的定语。
定语从句缺一个主语,四个选项中只有B、C 可以考虑,显然只有that 才能代替ingredient.
57 D 空白处前面的形容词beneficial意思是“有益的”“对……有益”英语的表达方法就是“beneficial to…”其他选项均不合适。
58 C 从常识上我们可以很容易做出判断,“促使人口迅速老龄化的另一个因素”一定是“出生率的下降”其他选项均不合适。
59 A 短文谈的是长寿问题,从上下文也很容易猜出,life是正确答案。
60 D 本句的谓语是hsd doubled. 从上下文看,显然是指老年人口的“数量”（number）。
figure不是指“数量”而是指具体的某个“数字”,所以这里不合适。
61 C 此处显然是要说“面对经济问题”face a problem是习惯的表达方法；meet虽然也有“遇到”的意思,但那是太具体的“面对面相遇”英语也不习惯用它来表达“面对……问题”。
62 B 四个选项与look搭配,只有look after （照料、照顾）合适,其他look at （瞧、看）、look into （调查、了解）、look for （寻找）均不合适。
63 D 此处“提高退休年龄”还是用raise合适；lift虽然汉译中也有“使……升高”的意思,但那是太具体的“举起”,put 和move 就更不恰当了。
64 A “工作可以给老年人的生活带来一种责任感和使命感”这里的“……感”应该使用senes,英语中“责任感”“幽默感”“是非感”等习惯用sense；而feeling则主要用于冷、热、舒服、饥饿等具体的感觉；sentiment则是指“情操”、“思想感情”。
65 A “起一种……作用”使用play a…role是习惯的表达方法,其它选项都无法与其搭配。
