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.
【C15】
选项
A、ready
B、willing
C、liable
D、reluctant
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。本题要选择一个合适的形容词作表语。来描述人们对谈论死亡的态度。在本空前面,文章提到,find the topic frightening.既然是令人恐惧的,人们自然不情愿去想它。[D]reluctant意为“勉强的,不情愿的”,符合文意。其他三选项虽然都可与to连用,但不符合句意:[A]ready“乐意的”;[B]willing“愿意的”;[C]liable“有…倾向的”。
