解析：

这是一篇有关老太太 Douglas工作情况的记叙文.她开始在报纸上写专栏时已经72岁了.现在她在写有关老年问题的文章，并利用自己的思考力帮助老年读者解决生活中遇到的难题.文章前半部时态为过去时，自第二段末句后为现在时，抓住大意是做好该篇完形填空的关键.(1) D 由but前后转折.虽然退休她需要保持忙碌. (2) C even一词加深含义，不计较报酬. (3) A offer one's service意为“主动提供服务”为老年人找工作.照应上句. (4) C 全文涉及老人问题. (5) B 由下文By talking with them可见选择met合乎情理. (6) A 其余三个词义皆与by手段无关. (7) D 根据一般常识选D. (8) B 解释上文提到的两件事：老人既有未被利用的能力，也有一些问题. (9) D 根据下句中的“now”判断此句谈过去，该句意为：过去经常为国家 级别的一些杂志写写有关人的故事. (10) A 冒号后“Old people like her self”是说明此空所填的词，据此选，意思是：现在有一个新的“主题”. (11) C 照应段首内容. (12) A getting old与非限制性定语从句解释的“Sixty Plus”(年过花甲)这一专栏相照应. (13) B 强调problems的内容. (14) C 根据下文的举例选C，即尤其是那些“不能被人理解的难题”. (15) A 利用thinking ability才能看清真相. (16) C 从下面的例子可以断定问题的起因. (17) B 由上文内容可知，而非visitors. (18) C 此处只有left与as soon as中的动作came形成反差，才有“问题”. (19) C 提出建议，合逻辑，引起下文内容. (20) B 有关孩子的一些情况，而不是一切情况.选项C和D与句意不符. (21) A 上句中questioning和listening后者不是老年人作得最好的. (22) D 根据句意选D. (23) B 该词与上文say good things形成对比. (24) D 此句意为“别固执己见”.这也从另一个角度说明上文的listening之重要. (25) A 此处的意思是：通常孩子受到教育要尊敬老人.老人也应该尊重他们. |
