(2025·江苏名校联考)By 2050, over65s are expected to account for 38% of all people worldwide. But in 1950, no country had more than 11% of its population aged over 65.
The ageing of the global population is the most important current medical and social turning point, says Barbara Shipley, senior vice president of brand integration at AARP. This shift will be challenging, she says, but older people bring with them a fantastic opportunity to make significant positive contributions to society.
Far from being a drain(消耗) on a nation's resources, older people have a lot to offer. Their money supports jobs, some continue to work, and their unpaid contributions (by providing childcare, for example) improve society.
The “longevity economy”—a term coined by AARP in their Global Longevity Economy Outlook report—describes the multitude of ways that countries' economic growth will be positively impacted and contributed to by the over 50s in the next few decades, according to the report.
Older people make significant contributions to wages—over50s supported one billion jobs in 2020, which will rise to 1.5 billion by 2050. And in 2020, the over50s contributed $45tn (£37.6tn) to the global gross domestic product, which is greater than any individual country.
Older people's financial contributions alone are significant. But, as populations grow older, now is the time to think about how to support their needs, to create new jobs and new skills for the younger generations, too.
Supporting people to have more freedom in older age will require innovative treatments, technologies and care, which is why AARP established Innovation Labs to identify and invest in startups solving agerelated problems.
“While ageing is an inevitability, getting older can be something to be excited by, though the positives and negatives will vary enormously from person to person. As all countries, from lowto highincome, will see an increase in their older population by 2050, it is in everyone's interest to respond to the demands of ageing population in an innovative way, ”says Barbara Shipley.

(2026·湖北黄冈中学高三调研)In the digital era, where social media floods with ceaseless sharing, 26yearold illustrator Lina from Hangzhou stands as a striking example.She regularly posts artworks and travel snapshots on social media but seldom replies to comments or engages in private conversations.“I love sharing fragments (碎片) of my life, yet building deep connections with strangers feels emotionally exhausting”, she admits.Lina's attitude represents a growing trend among today's youth: light socializing, a pattern that prioritizes selfexpression over intensive emotional bonds in the virtual world.
Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once a hub (中心) for developing relationships, has changed into a “selfshowcase” platform for the younger generation.Instead of seeking active interactions, they share content like scenic photos or daily routines, with little expectation of feedback.Actions such as casually unfollowing, blocking strangers or using 24hour disappearing posts show their wish to avoid burdensome “emotional labor” from shallow virtual ties.This shift comes from their desire to escape overwhelming pressure from empty digital interactions.
While critics dismiss light socializing as a sign of “emotional coldness”, it actually reflects a thoughtful adaptation.Psychologist Lu Chen argues that by embracing this approach, young people regain control over their online space—sharing freely without the anxiety of meeting others' expectations.Even social platforms have evolved to meet this need: many now offer “silent modes”, such as hidden interaction records and oneway posting features, acknowledging the widespread acceptance of light socializing.
In a world tightly bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes a delicate balance between selfexpression and privacy protection.It is not a refusal of social bonds but a wise pursuit of healthier, more autonomous online engagement.This trend shows the younger generation's maturity in safeguarding their mental wellbeing, representing a forwardlooking and thoughtful approach to modern social interactions.

B.A platform for personal display.

D.A space to reduce pressure by virtual ties.
解析:B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Sociologist Min Li observes that social media, once a hub (中心) for developing relationships, has changed into a ‘selfshowcase’ platform for the younger generation.”可知,根据李敏的说法,社交媒体现在已经成为年轻人个人展示的平台。故选B。
7.What can we infer about “light socializing”?( )
A.It encourages safe online engagement.
B.It makes young people emotionally cold.
C.It relies mainly on platforms' silent modes.
D.It abandons social bonds to protect mental health.
解析:A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In a world tightly bound by digital connections, light socializing strikes...more autonomous online engagement.”可知,轻社交不是对社会关系的拒绝,而是对更健康、更自主的在线参与的明智追求。由此推知,“轻社交”鼓励安全的在线参与。故选A。

2.解析:its 考查代词。本空后面的undergraduate admissions是名词词组,因此这里填入一个形容词性物主代词作其定语。
3.解析:a 考查冠词。本空后面的foundation为可数名词,根据语境这里应该用不定冠词a。a solid foundation in AI意为“人工智能方面的坚实基础”。
