When my mother’s health was failing, I was the "bad" sister who lived far away and wasn’t involved. My sister helped my parents. She never asked me to do anything, and I didn’t【C1】________I was widowed, raising kids and working, but that wasn’t really【C2】________I kept to weekly calls and short, infrequent visits. I was【C3】________in my adolescent role as the indifferent achiever, defending myself【C4】________my judgmental mother and other family craziness. As always, I turned a deaf ear to my sister’s【C5】________about my not being around more—and I didn’t hear her rising desperation. It wasn’t until my mom’s【C6】________, watching my dad and sister【C7】________each other and weep, that I got a【C8】________of their long painful experience—and how badly I’d behaved.
My sister was so furious, she【C9】________spoke to me during my father’s last years. To be honest, I’m not a terrible person. So how did I get it so【C10】________?
We hear a lot about the【C11】________of taking care of our graying population. But the big story beneath the surface is the psychological crisis among middle-aged brothers and sisters who are fighting【C12】________ issues involving their aging parents. According to a new survey, an【C13】________43.5 million adults in the U.S. are【C14】________an older relative or friend. Of these, 43% said they did not feel they had a【C15】________in this role. And although 7 in 10 said another unpaid caregiver had provided help in the past year, only 1 in 10 said the burden was【C16】________equally.
As brothers and sisters who are often separated【C17】________and emotionally, we are having to come together to decide such【C18】________issues as where Mom and Dad should live and where they should be【C19】________. "It’s like being put down with your brothers and sisters in the center of a nuclear reactor and being told, ’Figure it【C20】________,’" says University of Colorado psychologist Sara Honn Quails.
【C17】
选项
A、locally
B、functionally
C、approximately
D、geographically
答案
D
解析
语义逻辑题。从后面的提示词having to come together to…“必须聚在一起”可判断,兄弟姐妹们可能都不住在一起,故用D项geographically“地理位置上”, separated________and emotionally指“不住在同一个地方”。A项locally意为“在本地区”,与separated语义相矛盾,故排除。C项approximately “大约”和B项functionally “功能上地”均不能体现地理位置的区别,与句意不符。
