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.
【32】
选项
A、Therefore
B、And
C、Yet
D、Otherwise
答案
C
解析
此题属于语篇衔接题。从下文看,此句表示语气转折,前一句讲面对即将死亡的现实,下一句讲接受这一现实(面对死亡)并不容易做到,因此选项C Yet正确。选项A Therefore (因此),表因果关系;选项B And表并列关系;选项D Otherwise表示“否则,不然”,与句意不符,例如:Write his new address down,otherwise you will forget it.
