选项
A、worthy
B、worth
C、worthless
D、worthwhile
答案
B
解析
此题属于语法题。be worth+名词/doing表示"值得",此处的名词往往是钱数或相当于代价的比喻性名词,例如:It’s worth the time and effort we devoted to it.另外,worth后面的动名词总是用主动形式表达被动意义,例如:It is worth considering.选项worth与living连用,符合题意。选项worthy表示"值得",be worthy of+名词/to do,例如:This novel is worthy to be ranked among the masterpieces of Chinese Literature./It is worthy of the name.选项worthless表示"无价值的",与句意不符;选项worthwhile表示"值得的",作表语或定语,例如:It was a worthwhile attempt even though it failed to achieve its aim.全句可译为:老年人对过去的回忆有助于延缓他们日趋衰弱的状况:他们不再充当受人尊敬的角色,也再不能给未来确定生活的方向。老年人通过谈论他们的过去来提醒别人—他们的一生没有虚度。
