问题     It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives,【1】about the future. These reminiscences are not simply random or trivial memories,【2】is their purpose merely to make conversation. The old person’s recollections of the past help to【3】an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile:【4】any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide【5】to the future, the individual mentions his past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life【6】living.【7】, the memories form part of a continuing life【8】, in which the person【9】the events and experiences of the-years gone by and【10】on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.
    As the life cycle【11】to its close, the aged must also learn to accept the reality of their own impending death.【12】this task is made difficult by the fact that death is almost a【13】subject in the United States. The mere discussion of death is often regarded as【14】.As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are【15】to think about it — and certainly not to talk about it【16】the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo【17】only in the modern industrial societies. There seems to bean important reason for our reluctance to【18】the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains【19】our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes【20】is so.
选项 A、better than
B、rather than
C、less than
D、other than
答案B
解析 语义衔接题。从上下文文意可知，文章是在谈论老年人喜欢回忆过去，而不是讨论未来，故[B] rather than正确。rather than为并列连词，可以连接形容词、动词、名词、副词、不定式等，其意为“而不是”。[A] better than“比…好”；[C] less than“比…少”；[D]other than意为“不同于…，除了…”；这三项均与上下文在语义上构不成衔接。
