It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives, 【C1】______about the future. These reminiscences are not simply random or trivial memories, 【C2】______is their purpose merely to make conversation. The old person’s recollections of the past help to【C3】______an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile: 【C4】______any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide【C5】______to the future, the individual mentions his past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life【C6】______living. 【C7】______, the memories form part of a continuing life【C8】______, in which the person【C9】______the events and experiences of the years gone by and【C10】______on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.
As the life cycle【C11】______to its close, the aged must also learn to accept the reality of their own impending death. 【C12】______this task is made difficult by the fact that death is almost a【C13】______subject in the United States. The mere discussion of death is often regarded as【C14】______. As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are【C15】______to think about it — and certainly not to talk about it【C16】______the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo【C17】______only in the modern industrial societies. There seems to be an important reason for our reluctance to【C18】______the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains【C19】______our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes【C20】______is so.
【C18】
选项
A、encounter
B、confront
C、tolerate
D、expose
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。从语义上分析,首先排除选项[C]tolerate“容忍”,“忍受谈论死亡的话题”与文章的主题“人们不愿谈论死亡的话题”相悖。其他三个选项都有“遇见,遭遇”的意思。其中[D]expose通常用被动语态be exposed to“暴露于”,可以排除;选项[A]encounter意为“邂逅,遭遇(危险、麻烦、反对等)”;[B]confront意为“面对困境/人”,尤其强调“困境”,且人们又不得不面对。从文意来看,死亡是一个人们不愿触及的但又是不可避免的话题,因此[B]confront更契合文意。
