问题    When Japan’ s Kamato Hongo died at the age of 116, she was the world’ s oldest woman. But Mrs. Hongo seemed to have had a perfectly【C1】______lifestyle, and there seems to be no particular reason for her to have lived so long. She enjoyed things that are sometimes considered to be【C2】______, such as drinking tea, coffee and even a small amount of alcohol every day, although she did not smoke. So【C3】______was her secret?
   After getting married, she stayed on Kagoshima, the island where she was born,【C4】______her husband on his farm during her long life. Mrs. Hongo gave birth to seven children, lived through three wars, and【C5】______a volcano eruption on Kagoshima in 1914.
  【C6】______her eventful life, she was happy and hated being away from her family. She always kept a close relationship with all seven of her children, and in fact, when she could no longer look【C7】______herself, she went to live with one of her daughters, Shizue, and her family.
   Then, at the end of her【C8】______life, Mrs. Hongo seemed to think more about her early life than the present, and sometimes【C9】______to recognize close relatives and friends who visited her. She preferred to live in the【C10】______, and talked about her very happy childhood. Was happiness the secret of her long life?
【C6】

选项 A、Prior to
B、Without
C、Instead of
D、Despite

答案D

解析 根据后面的eventful life(不平凡的生活)和she was happy and hated being away from her family(她很开心,不愿意离开她的家)可知,逗号前后两句话为让步关系,所以空处应用despite(尽管)。prior to:先于;without:没有;instead of:代替。故选D。
