In Japan, there are special playgrounds for the elderly. In Italy, dance classes for seniors are part of the good life. And in Germany, the rapid pace of retirements has become a bigger issue than unemployment.
    They are the world’s super-aged nations—the term for countries where at least 20 percent of the population is 65 years or older. The population’s transition is upon us now and its progressing, by historical standards, quite rapidly.
    In five years, six more countries will join the ranks of the super-aged. [2]And in 15 years, that number will rise to 34. That will translate into reductions in labor supply. At the same time aging means that the household savings rates will go down, which will negatively impact on investment. Both trends put together would mean that aging will have a significant negative impact on global growth.
1 What is the news report mainly about?
2 How many countries will become super-aged in 15 years?

选项 A、Happy life the seniors enjoy nowadays.
B、Problems of the aging population.
C、A survey about economic growth.
D、The rapid pace of retirements now.

答案 B

解析 题目问新闻主旨。新闻开篇列举了三个国家老年人的生活状况,由此引出总括句“这些国家至少有20%的人口超过65岁,是超高龄国家(super-aged nations)”,下文具体阐述了人口老龄化的发展趋势及其负面影响,B“人口老龄化问题”是将总括句加以提炼,表明了全文主旨,故为正确选项。
