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.

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.

选项 A、prospect
B、impetus
C、impression
D、review
答案D
解析 语义衔接题。本空前面的memory与本空形成语义场共现关系。既然是记忆，肯定是发生过的事情，那么也就是life review“生活回顾”，故答案为[D]。[A]prospect意为“展望，前景”，指事情发生的可能性，前景只能展望，不能是回忆，所以排除；[B]impetus意为“动力，推动力”、[C]impression意为“印象”，与文章语义不能衔接。
