    The current approach which【B1】______on younger people and on skills for employment not 【B2】______ to meet the challenges of demographic change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is【B3】______spent on the oldest third of the population.

【B17】
选项 A、unfairly
B、unpredictably
C、instantly
D、indirectly
答案B
解析 考查副词辨析。此句意为“如今退休可能______发生在50岁到90多岁之间的任何时候”，既然是“任何时候”，也就是具有不确定性，故选B．unpredictably，意为“无法预计地”。unfairly意为“不公平地”；instantly意为“立即地，即刻地”；indirectly意为“间接地”，均不符合题意。
