When my mother’s health was failing, I was the "bad" sister who lived far away and wasn’t involved. My sister helped my parents. She never asked me to do anything, and I didn’t【C1】________I was widowed, raising kids and working, but that wasn’t really【C2】________I kept to weekly calls and short, infrequent visits. I was【C3】________in my adolescent role as the indifferent achiever, defending myself【C4】________my judgmental mother and other family craziness. As always, I turned a deaf ear to my sister’s【C5】________about my not being around more—and I didn’t hear her rising desperation. It wasn’t until my mom’s【C6】________, watching my dad and sister【C7】________each other and weep, that I got a【C8】________of their long painful experience—and how badly I’d behaved.
My sister was so furious, she【C9】________spoke to me during my father’s last years. To be honest, I’m not a terrible person. So how did I get it so【C10】________?
We hear a lot about the【C11】________of taking care of our graying population. But the big story beneath the surface is the psychological crisis among middle-aged brothers and sisters who are fighting【C12】________ issues involving their aging parents. According to a new survey, an【C13】________43.5 million adults in the U.S. are【C14】________an older relative or friend. Of these, 43% said they did not feel they had a【C15】________in this role. And although 7 in 10 said another unpaid caregiver had provided help in the past year, only 1 in 10 said the burden was【C16】________equally.
As brothers and sisters who are often separated【C17】________and emotionally, we are having to come together to decide such【C18】________issues as where Mom and Dad should live and where they should be【C19】________. "It’s like being put down with your brothers and sisters in the center of a nuclear reactor and being told, ’Figure it【C20】________,’" says University of Colorado psychologist Sara Honn Quails.
【C19】
选项
A、hidden
B、abandoned
C、buried
D、fed
答案
C
解析
上下文语义题。作者在这里举例说明何为棘手的问题,一个是“安排父母住在哪里”,另一个则是“……在哪里”。两个where从句为并列关系,可见,应该也是关于父母的安置问题,C项bury意为“下葬”,符合句意。A项hide意为“躲藏”、B项abandon意为“丢弃”,代入句中不符合常理,兄弟姐妹聚在一起不可能是为了讨论把父母藏或丢弃在哪里。D项feed“喂养”填入文中“在哪里喂父母”,这不该是让兄弟姐妹棘手的问题,与上下文语境不符。
