11．As the longer life and rapid decrease in the laborage population are expected，extending the retirement age（推遲退休年齡） is a wise choice for the government．This is why at the Third Plenum （全會） of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China （中國共產黨十八屆三中全會）it was agreed that there should be a study on the subject．
It is undoubtedly necessary for the government to adjust its policies to meet the challenge of an increasingly aging society．According to the government，China's senior citizens above the age of 60 will reach 200 million，about 14.8 percent of the population，by the end of this year，and the figure is expected to grow to 248 million by the year of 2020 and more than 400 million by 2050，when they will account for 30 percent of the population．Meanwhile，extending the retirement age will result in several benefits-slowing the rapid increase of the retired，reducing the rapid decline in experienced workers and keeping the laborage population at a considerable size for stable economic development．
However，before the policy is drawn up there will need to be thorough research，so there can be careful consideration of the interests of all parties to make sure that the new policy does not harm the interests of workers in different jobs．
There are 112 million workers who do heavy physical labor and may not be willing to put off their retirement to a later age．And the opinions of government employees and other whitecollar workers will also need to be listened to before a policy is introduced to extend their retirement to a later age．
No doubt it will be impossible to please all，but it should be possible to make the policy acceptable to the most．Anyway，any extensions that will hopefully help reduce the negative influences of our increasingly aging society also need to be fair．

分析 這是一篇時文報道，介紹了中國對推遲退休年齡以及對這一話題的反響等．
解答 33．D 主旨大意題．全文圍繞中國人口老齡化的問題，探討推遲退休年齡這一話題，介紹了各界人士的態度．
34．C 正誤判斷題．A．第二段中According to the government，China's senior citizens above the age of 60 will reach 200 million，about 14.8 percent of the population說中國60歲以上的人口將達到人口總數的14.8%；B．第二段中more than 400 million by 2050意為：到2050年60歲以上的人口將超過400 million；C．第二段的句子extending the retirement age will result in several benefits-slowing the rapid increase of the retired，reducing the rapid decline in experienced workers and keeping the later-age population at a considerable size for stable economic development．說明推遲退休年齡能減緩有經驗的工作者數量的快速下降；D．第二段的句子keeping the later-age population at a considerable size for stable economic development．說明推遲退休年齡有助于中國的經濟發展．
35．C 推理判斷題．A．第四段的句子"There are 112 million workers who do heavy physical labor and may not be willing to put off their retirement to a later age．"說從事繁重體力勞動的工人可能不愿意推遲他們的退休年齡；B．第四段的句子"And the opinions of government employees and other white-collar workers will also need to be listened to before a policy is introduced to extend their retirement to a later age．"可知政府雇員和白領階層的觀點也應該聽一聽，但沒有依據推斷白領階層的看法；C．從文章的敘述看，要實行這一政策會遇到各種困難；D．最后一段說政策不可能讓所有人都滿意．由此可知答案．
