问题    It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives,【C1】______about the future. These reminiscences(回忆)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(脆弱的):【C4】______any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide【C5】______to the future, the individual mentions their 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 old 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.

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   43  the idea of death. It is the very fact that death re- mains【C19】______our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes【C20】______is so.
【C12】
选项 A、Therefore
B、And
C、Yet
D、Otherwise
答案C
解析 此题属于语篇衔接题。从下文看，此句表示语气转折，前一句讲面对即将死亡的现实，下一句讲这种任务(面对死亡)并不容易做到，因此选项[C]Yet 正确。选项[A] Therefore (因此)，表因果关系；选项[D]And 表并列关系；选项[D] Otherwise 意为“否则，不然”，与句意不符，例如：Write his new address down，otherwise you will forger it.
