It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives, 【C1】______about the future. These reminiscences are not simply random or trivial memories, 【C2】______is their purpose merely to make conversation. The old person’s recollections of the past help to【C3】______an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile: 【C4】______any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide【C5】______to the future, the individual mentions his past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life【C6】______living. 【C7】______, the memories form part of a continuing life【C8】______, in which the person【C9】______the events and experiences of the years gone by and【C10】______on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.
As the life cycle【C11】______to its close, the aged must also learn to accept the reality of their own impending death. 【C12】______this task is made difficult by the fact that death is almost a【C13】______subject in the United States. The mere discussion of death is often regarded as【C14】______. As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are【C15】______to think about it — and certainly not to talk about it【C16】______the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo【C17】______only in the modern industrial societies. There seems to be an important reason for our reluctance to【C18】______the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains【C19】______our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes【C20】______is so.
【C14】
选项
A、notorious
B、indecent
C、obscure
D、desperate
答案
B
解析
语义衔接题。根据上下文,上句说死亡是忌讳的话题,因此,本处所填词应与“谈论禁忌话题”构成语义衔接。indecent意为“不成体统的,不体面的”,谈论禁忌话题(包括死亡)在各种文化中一般都会被看作是不成体统的。故选[B]。[A]notorious意为“臭名昭著的,声名狼藉的”,有点过于夸大事实;[C]obscure意为“晦涩的;偏僻的,模糊的”,不符合语义;[D]desperate意为“绝望的,拼命的,极度的”,与[A]一样,有点过于夸张。
