问题     It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives, 【C1】______about the future. These reminiscences are not simply random or trivial memories, 【C2】______is their purpose merely to make conversation. The old person’s recollections of the past help to【C3】______an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile: 【C4】______any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide【C5】______to the future, the individual mentions his past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life【C6】______living. 【C7】______, the memories form part of a continuing life【C8】______, in which the person【C9】______the events and experiences of the years gone by and【C10】______on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.
    As the life cycle【C11】______to its close, the aged must also learn to accept the reality of their own impending death. 【C12】______this task is made difficult by the fact that death is almost a【C13】______subject in the United States. The mere discussion of death is often regarded as【C14】______. As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are【C15】______to think about it — and certainly not to talk about it【C16】______the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo【C17】______only in the modern industrial societies. There seems to be an important reason for our reluctance to【C18】______the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains【C19】______our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes【C20】______is so.
【C6】
选项 A、worthy
B、worth
C、worthless
D、worthwhile
答案B
解析 惯用衔接题。常用固定结构be worth+名词／doing意为“值得”，此处的名词往往是钱数或相当于代价的比喻性名词，例如：It’s worth the time and effort we devoted to it．另外，worth后面的动名词总是用主动形式表达被动意义，例如：It is worth considering．因此选项[B]符合题意。[A]worthy意为“值得”, be worthy of+名词／to do，例如：It is worthy of the name．[C]worthless意为“无价值的”，与句意不符；[D]worthwhile意为“值得的”，作表语或定语，例如：It was a worthwhile attempt even though it failed to achieve its aim．
