There is a myth out there that too many people believe: that when we reach a certain age, we can no longer be happy, independent and productive members of society. How 【C1】______ that is!
Recently I had a serious hip injury that landed me in the hospital. I was【C2】______ at first, but I was only facing a short-term crisis. Now, after good medical【C3】______, I’m back on my feet, back to work, and feeling great. Sure, I have my aches and pains, and I move【C4】______ slower than I did when I was 18, but who doesn’t? And then last night, I was【C5】______ when my niece said, "Aunt Eileen, I want to be like you when I’m older. You’re 76 years old,【C6】______ you’re happy, healthy, and still working. You’re actually 【C7】______!"
She was right. However, I haven’t always felt so secure. Years ago, my grandmother 【C8】______ serious financial problems. Fortunately, our family was able to take her in, and she【C9】______ lived to the ripe old age of 94. However, her situation【C10】______ me think about my own financial future. I was in my early 30s. Would I have sufficient 【C11】______ to live comfortably for another 50 or 60 years? The answer was probably no, so I decided to take action to improve the odds. I【C12】______ to worry about becoming old, poor, and lonely, but not any【C13】______. I am not wealthy, but I am【C14】______ compared to many others of my age. So how did I accomplish this?
Well, first I【C15】______ a financial advisor. She said I had been too happy-go-luck with my【C16】______. As a result, I might run out of my money and should ameliorate the risks by saving more right away.
When I finally retired, I had to face some【C17】______ choices about what to do next. Did I want to move to an inexpensive apartment in a warmer climate,【C18】______ hobbies all day? No, I did not! So, I took some courses to improve my skills. Then I found a part-time job I really like.【C19】______ I started this second career mostly for【C20】______ income, I believe that working keeps me alive and mentally alert.

选项
A、straightly
B、eventually
C、consequently
D、definitely
答案
B
解析
本题考查语境推理。本句大意为“幸运的是我的家庭接纳了她,并且她……活到了94岁高龄”。ripe old age of意为“……岁高龄”。上文提到作者的祖母遭遇了经济问题,本句又提到作者一家接纳了祖母,可知在作者一家的帮助和照料下祖母才最终得以安享晚年。由上下文可以推断空白处表示的逻辑关系应该是最终的结果。词义辨析:straightly adv.意为“笔直地,直接地”;eventually adv.意为“最终,终于”;consequently adv.意为“结果,因此”;definitely adv.意为“明确地,一定地”。根据词义,此处选择eventually最为恰当。
