How to Face Death
It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives, rather than about the future. These reminiscences (回忆) are not simply random or trivial memories, (51) is their purpose merely to make conversation. The old person’s recollections of the past help to (52) an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile (脆弱的): (53) any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide orientation to the future, the individual mentions their past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life (54) living. (55) , the memories form part of a continuing life (56) , in which the old person (57) the events and experiences of the years gone by and reflects on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.
As the life cycle (58) to its close, the aged must also learn to accept the reality of their own impending (即将发生的) death. (59) this task is made difficult by the fact that death is almost a (60) subject in the United States. The mere discussion of death is often regarded as (61) As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are reluctant to think about it and certainly not to talk about it (62) the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo (63) only in the modern industrial societies. There seems to be an important reason for our reluctance to (64) the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains (65) our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes that is so.
选项
A、notorious
B、indecent
C、obscure
D、desperate
答案
B
解析
此题属于语义搭配题。indecent意为“不成体统的,不体面的”,根据上下文,上句说死亡是忌讳的话题,因此,谈论死亡会被看作是不成体统的,故选项B indecent正确。选项A notorious意为“臭名昭著的,声名狼藉的”,例如:The company is notorious for paying its bill late.选项C obscure意为“晦涩的;偏僻的,模糊的”,例如:an obscure style of writing/an obscure island.又如:Official
