It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives, 【21】______ about the future.

选项
A、ready
B、willing
C、liable
D、reluctant
答案
D
解析
此题属于语意搭配题。reluctant表示“勉强的,不情愿的”,此处句意为:死亡是个令人恐怖的话题,当然人们都不情愿去想它,故选项D reluctant正确。其他三选项虽然都可与to do连用,但不符合句意:选项A ready(乐意的);选项B willing(愿意的);选项C liable (有…倾向的),例如:We are all liable to make mistakes.
