问题     While many nations have aging populations, Japan’s
demographic crisis is truly dire, with forecasts showing that 40
percent of the population will have been 65 and over in 2055.【M1】______
Some of the consequences have been long foreseen, like
deflation: as more Japanese retire and live off their savings, they
spend more, further depressing Japan’s anemic levels of domestic【M2】______
consumption. So a less anticipated outcome has been the【M3】______
appearance of generational inequalities.
    These disparities manifest itself in many ways. There are【M4】______
corporations that hire all too many young people for
low-paying jobs—in effect, forcing them to shoulder the costs
of preserving cushier jobs to older employees. Others point to【M5】______
an underfinanced pension system so skewed in the favor of【M6】______
older Japanese that many younger workers simply refuse to
pay; a "silver democracy" that spends far more on the elderly
than education and child care—an issue that is familiar to【M7】______
Americans; and outdated hiring practices that have created a
new "lost generation" of disenfranchised youths.
    Nagisa Inoue, a senior at Tokyo’s Meiji University, said she
was considering paying for a fifth year at her university rather
than graduate without a job, an outcome that in Japan’s rigid【M8】______
job market might permanently taint her chances of ever getting
a higher-paying corporate job. That is why Japanese【M9】______
companies, even when they do offer stable, regular jobs, prefer
to give them only to new graduates, which are seen as the【M10】______
more malleable candidates for molding into Japan’s corporate
culture. [br] 【M3】
选项
答案 So一But
解析 语篇错误。上文讲日本国内消费削弱，此处讲年轻人和年纪大的人之间的不平等待遇出现．上下文之间不存在因果关系，So不符合语境。a lessanticipated outcome表明不平等待遇比消费削弱更难预料到，此间存在转折关系，重点在于讲这种不平等待遇，要把So改成But。
