It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives, 21 about the future. These reminiscences are not simply random or trivial memories, 22 is their purpose merely to make conversation. 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.
As the life cycle 31 to its close, the aged must also learn to accept the reality of their own impending (即将发生的) death. 32 this task is made difficult by the fact that death is almost a 33 subject in the United States. The mere discussion of death is often regarded as 34 . As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are 35 to think about it—and certainly not to talk about it 36 the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo 37 only in the modern industrial societies. There seems to be an important reason for our reluctance to 38 the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains 39 our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes 40 is so.
选项
A、prospect
B、impetus
C、impression
D、review
答案
D
解析
review此题属于语意搭配题。life review表示“生活回顾”,符合句意。选项[A]prospect表示“展望,前景”,指事情发生的可能性,例如:With not much prospect of settling thedispute,the talks were halted.解决争端的可能性不大,会谈暂时中止了。从文章的上下文来看,前面讲的是回忆,因此不可能回忆“前景”,故选项[A]prospect不符合题意;选项[B] impetus表示“动力,推动力”,例如:the primary impetus behind the economicrecovery(促进经济恢复的主要动力);选项[C]impression表示“印象”,例如:What areyour impressions of Hangzhou?
