The old person’s recollections of the past help to 23 an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile: 24 any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide 25 to the future, the individual mentions their past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life 26 living. 27 , the memories form part of a continuing life 28 , in which the old person 29 the events and experiences of the years gone by and 30 on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.

答案
D
解析
此题属于词语搭配题。in the presence of表示“当…的面,在…在场的情况下”,例如:She ordered the car in the presence of the sales manager.又如:He is usually quitepolite in my presence(when I am there).选项[A]at;选项[B]on;选项[C]with均无此意,with great presence意指“气度轩昂”。全句可译为:作为成年人,我们当中许多人觉得死亡这个话题令人感到恐怖,并且不愿意去想它一一当然更不要在垂死的人面前谈论它。
