  The American newspaper publisher Arthur Sulzberger Sr died at the age of 86. Mr. Sulzberger led The New York Times for more than three decades, before passing the business to his son. He took over the paper in 1963 when it was in financial trouble, and transformed it into the heart of a multi­billion dollar media empire.

  His family announced he had died at his home in Southampton, New York State, after a long illness. His son, Arthur Sulzberger Jr, said in a statement that his father, whom he referred to by his childhood nickname of Punch, was “one of our industry's most admired executives”. “Punch, the old Marine captain who never backed down from a fight, was an absolutely fierce defender of the freedom of the press,” he said.

  The New York Times was bought by Mr. Sulzberger Sr's grandfather Adolph Ochs in 1896. During Mr. Sulzberger's tenure, The New York Times won 31 Pulitzer prizes.

  Born in New York City, 5 February 1926, Sr served in Marine Corps during World War Ⅱ and Korean War, joined The New York Times in 1951 after graduating from Columbia College, took over as publisher in 1963 after his brother­in­law died suddenly, stepped down in 1997 and passed stewardship to his son, Arthur Sulzberger Jr.

  He oversaw a huge circulation boost at the paper, and increased its parent company's annual revenues (年收入) from $100m in 1963 to $1.7bn by the time he stepped down in 1997. He also led the paper through high­level clashes with the political establishment. In 1971, The New York Times published a series of stories saying that politicians had systematically lied over the US involvement in Vietnam. The source was thousands of leaked government documents known as the Pentagon Papers. The Nixon administration demanded that the paper stop publishing the stories on grounds of national security. But the paper refused, and then won the subsequent court case by arguing that the First Amendment of the US Constitution (宪法) guaranteed free speech. The case is seen as a landmark in the history of free speech in the US. Mr. Sulzberger said he read more than 7,000 pages of the Pentagon Papers before personally deciding to publish them.

  His family still holds a controlling stake (控股权) in The New York Times. He was a strong believer in family ownership of newspapers. He once joked: “My conclusion is simple Nepotism_works.”

  There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little­known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.

  It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.

  What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.

  Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.

  Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Life­long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.

  Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.

  To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure: there is no time to be lost.

  5.The proportion of older people ________.

  A.is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries

  B.is one­seventh of the population in developing countries

  C.will increase much faster in China than in France

  D.will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

  解析:选C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容可知,在法国,115年里老年人口的比例从7%增长到了14%,而在中国仅仅用了27年的时间就达到了这个增长幅度。因此可推知,将来中国老龄人口比例的增长速度要比法国快得多。故答案选C。

  6.According to the passage, which of the following are governments most worried about?

  A.The diseases and disability of older people.

  B.The longer life and good health of people.

  C.The loss of taxes on older people.

  D.The increasing respect for older people.

  解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability.”可知,政府担心,人们活的寿命越长,人们的健康压力会越大。答案选A。

  7.It is stated directly in the passage that older people should ________.

  A.be treated differently in different cultures

  B.enjoy a similar lifestyle

  C.be ignored as society changes

  D.be valued by the younger generations

  解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations ... society.”可知,年轻人应该理解和尊重老年人,D项为文章中直接陈述的观点。故答案选D。

  8.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?

  A.Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

  B.Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.

  C.Providing free health care for sick older people.

  D.Supplying life­long learning programs to older people.

  解析:选C 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句可知,A项表述正确;根据倒数第二段第一句可知,B项表述正确;根据倒数第三段第二句可知,D项表述正确。故答案选C。Ⅲ.短文填词
