It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives, 21 about the future. These reminiscences are not simply random or trivial memories, 22 is their purpose merely to make conversation. The old person’s recollections of the past help to 23 an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile: 24 any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide 25 to the future, the individual mentions their past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life 26 living. 27 , the memories form part of a continuing life 28 , in which the old person 29 the events and experiences of the years gone by and 30 on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.
As the life cycle 31 to its close, the aged must also learn to accept the reality of their own impending (即将发生的) death. 32 this task is made difficult by the fact that death is almost a 33 subject in the United States. The mere discussion of death is often regarded as 34 . As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are 35 to think about it—and certainly not to talk about it 36 the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo 37 only in the modern industrial societies. There seems to be an important reason for our reluctance to 38 the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains 39 our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes 40 is so.
选项
A、under
B、above
C、beyond
D、within
答案
C
解析
此题属于词语搭配题。beyond表示“(指空间)在…那一边”,在借喻中有“超出”之意,偏重于客观事物非本身能力所能达到或完成,例如:The failure arose from circumstances beyond our control.其他类似说法:beyond one’s power/endurance/comprehension.故选项[C]beyond正确。选项[A]under(control)表示“情况正常,处于控制之下”,例如:bring inflation under control;选项[B]above强调本身凌驾于一般标准之上,例如:Do you consider yourself above criticism/reproach?难道你认为谁都不能批评你吗?/你是无可指摘的吗?选项[D]within通常不与control连用。
