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、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”。
