It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives,【71】about the future. These reminiscences are not simply random or trivial memories,【72】is their purpose merely to make conversation. The old person’s recollections of the past help to【73】an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile:【74】any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide【75】to the future, the individual mentions his past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life【76】living.【77】, the memories form part of a continuing life【78】, in which the old person【79】the events and experiences of the years gone by and【80】on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.
As the life cycle【81】to its close, the aged must also learn to accept the reality of their own impending (即将发生的) death.【82】this task is made difficult by the fact that death is almost a【83】subject in the United States. The mere discussion of death is often regarded as【84】. As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are【85】to think about it—and certainly not to talk about it【86】the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo【87】only in the modem industrial societies. There seems to be an important mason for our reluctance to【88】the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains【89】our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes【90】is so.
选项
A、worthy
B、worth
C、worthless
D、worthwhile
答案
B
解析
语法题。be worth+名词/doing意为“值得”,此处的名词往往是钱数或相当于代价的比喻性名词,例如:It’s worth the time and effort we devoid to it.另外,worth后面的动名词总是用主动形式表达被动意义,例如:It is worth considering.故选项B worth与living连用,符合题意。选项A worthy意为“值得”, be worthy of+名同/to do,例如:This novel is worthy to be ranked among the masterpieces of Chinese Literature./It is worthy of the name.选项C worthless意为“无价值的”,与句意不符;选项D worthwhile意为“值得的”,作表语或定语,例如:It was a worthwhile attempt even though it failed to achieve its aim.句意:老年人对过去的回忆有助于他们保持住岌岌可危的身份:他们不再充当受人尊敬的角色,也没有能给未来确定方向的生活目标。老年人通过谈论他们的过去来提醒别人——他们的一生没有虚度。
