正确答案: A

rewards

题目：To absorb a younger work force, many companies offered retirement plans as incentives for older workers to retire and make way for the younger ones who earned lower salaries.

解析：句意为：为吸引更年轻的劳动力，很多公司为老员工退休提供退休计划作为鼓励，以便为工资较低的年轻员工让路。incentive“激励，鼓励”，四个选项：reward“奖赏”；opportunit,／“机会”；motive“动机，目的”；stimulus“刺激物”；所以A项符合题意。

[单选题]What do we leam about Ana Castro from the last paragraph?

阅读材料，回答下面的题目。Deport them or notIn a country that defines itself by ideals，not by shared blood，who should be allowed to come，work and live here?In the wake of the Sept．1 1 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing．On Dec．11，2001，as part of the effort to increase homeland security，federal and local authorities in 14 states staged“Operation Safe Travel”-raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification(身份证明)．In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests．But those captured were anything but terrorists，most of themillegal immigrants from Central or South America．Authorities said the undocumented workers’illegal status made them open to blackmail(讹诈)by terrorists．Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods．Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent，“We’re saying we want you to work in these places，we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are，and then when it’s convenient for us，or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security，especially after Sept．1 1，then you’re disposable．There are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons，”Anderson said．If Sept．1 1 had never happened．the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone oil quietly living in America．probably indefinitely．Ana Castr0，a manager at a Ben＆Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport，had been workin9 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid．Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation(驱逐出境)．Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled．While she awaits the outcome，the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben&Jerry’s．According to the author，the United States claims to be a nation__________．

解析：【答案】D【解析】由Ana Castro定位于文章最后一段。第三、四句指出她们全家面临着被驱逐出境的威胁，案件正在被期待早日得到解决；最后一句提到当她还在等待结果时，政府已经允许她在此工作。由此可见Ana Castro和家人能否留在美国还难以确定，只有等到案件解决才能知晓。

offer

解析：本句意为：乐观是一种看待生活更积极的方式以及由此所带给你的一切益处。从字面上看，supply有“提供”的意思，但做动词时一般接with，表示提供物料，一般指具体的实物，而offer指“提出，提供，呈现”，表示向别人提供可接受也可拒绝的某物，用法更为广泛，可用来指抽象的东西；所以此处选C。
