问题     It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives,【1】about the future. These reminiscences are not simply random or trivial memories,【2】is their purpose merely to make conversation. The old person’s recollections of the past help to【3】an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile:【4】any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide【5】to the future, the individual mentions his past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life【6】living.【7】, the memories form part of a continuing life【8】, in which the person【9】the events and experiences of the-years gone by and【10】on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.
    As the life cycle【11】to its close, the aged must also learn to accept the reality of their own impending death.【12】this task is made difficult by the fact that death is almost a【13】subject in the United States. The mere discussion of death is often regarded as【14】.As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are【15】to think about it — and certainly not to talk about it【16】the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo【17】only in the modern industrial societies. There seems to bean important reason for our reluctance to【18】the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains【19】our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes【20】is so.
选项 A、under
B、above
C、beyond
D、within
答案C
解析 语义、惯用衔接题。首先根据文意和常识可以判断，[A]和[D]明显不符合语义，因为死亡是不在人们控制范围之内的；再根据惯用法，可以确定答案为[C]beyond。beyond意为“超出(范围、可能性)；非(能力等)可及”，偏重于客观事物非本身能力所能达到或完成，beyond control意为“在控制范围之外”。[B]above与 control一般不连用，故排除。
