问题     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.
【C12】
选项 A、Therefore
B、And
C、Yet
D、Otherwise
答案C
解析 逻辑衔接题。从文章的下文来看，此句表示语气转折，前一句讲面对即将死亡的现实，下一句讲这种任务(坦然面对死亡)并不容易做到，因此选项[C]Yet符合逻辑。[A]Therefore“因此”，表因果关系；[B]And表并列关系；[D]Otherwise“否则，不然”，表示前面提到的条件不被满足的情况下会发生的结果。
