参考译文：过往的一些流行病主要影响年轻人——1950年代暴发的脊髓灰质炎疫情主要影响五岁以下的儿童;1918至1919年间毁灭性的流感夺去了数百万青壮年的生命，但新冠病毒主要让年长的患者丧命。

思考题解析：

According to the text, older people are ___.

根据文章可知，年纪大的人_______

A.more susceptible to epidemics

更容易受到传染病的伤害

这里涉及到了比较，就一定要注意范围了!

老年人这次新冠容易受到伤害，但是并不是所有的传染病都更容易受到伤害。

你是不是忘了三步法讲的，比较不能偷换比较对象哦!

B.favored by senior HR managers

受到年纪大的人力资源经理的青睐

文章中没有提到过!

C.victims of bias in labor market

劳动力市场歧视的受害者

对应的的就是第三句!

Age discrimination has long blighted=spoiled labour markets

年龄歧视：世界各地的劳动力市场一直深受其扰!

也就是老年人是歧视的受害者。

完美的同义替换!

D.working longer hours with less pay.

工作时长更长，工资更少。

这就是你自己加戏了，文章中完全没有提到这点哦。

只能是可能对!
