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 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.

【C2】

选项 A、so
B、even
C、nor
D、hardly

答案C

解析 结构衔接题。首先根据本句中前半部分为否定句可以判断,选项也应表达否定意义,与前面的not结构照应,所以答案应选[C]。nor与not构成not…nor…句型,意为“既不…也不…”,且句子倒装。[A]so引导肯定句.例如:I’ve got an enormous amount of work to do.——So have I.;[B]even是副词,意为“即使,甚至”;[D]hardly意为“几乎不”.虽然也表示否定.但与not形不成结构照应。
