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、taboo
B、dispute
C、contempt
D、neglect
答案
A
解析
语意搭配题。taboo意为“禁忌,忌讳”,符合句子意思。选项B dispute(争端);选项C contempt意为“蔑视”,例如:She made no attempt to conceal her contempt for anyone who was of lower social status.(2) He said that criticism didn’t worry him as he held most of his critics in contempt anyway.选项D neglect意为“疏忽,不留心”,例如:I’d neglected to tell him that I wouldn’t be home that night.句意:不过,这很难做到。因为在美国,死亡几乎是一个忌讳的话题。
