问题     It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives,【1】about the future. These reminiscences are not simply random or trivial memories,【2】is their purpose merely to make conversation. The old person’s recollections of the past help to【3】an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile:【4】any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide【5】to the future, the individual mentions his past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life【6】living.【7】, the memories form part of a continuing life【8】, in which the person【9】the events and experiences of the-years gone by and【10】on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.

选项 A、In a word
B、In brief
C、In addition
D、In particular
答案C
解析 逻辑衔接题。文章前一句说回忆有助于老年人保留住他们的身份，后一句说回忆成为了老年人不断回顾的生活的一部分，根据上下逻辑关系推断此处需填表示递进的短语 In addition“另外”，故答案为[C]。 [A]In a word意为“总而言之，一句话”、[B] In brief意为“简言之”，均属于总结陈词；[D]In particular意为“特别地”，无法在文意上对文章起衔接作用。
