【C16】

选项 A、living
B、lively
C、alive
D、life

答案C

解析 本填空出现在一个关联排比结构中,我们首先可以通过分析与本填空对应的原文已知线索来确定本填空需要填入的意思,与本填空对应的线索为the spirits of the dead(死者)和the as-yet unborn(尚未出生者),可以比较容易地确定本填空需要填入的概念为“生者,即现在活着的人”。因此,选项B)lively(活泼的)和D)life(人生,生活)都不合适。关键是在两个选项A)和C)中选择:选项A)living可以充当形容词表示“活着的、现存的,起作用的”,但此时这个词汇更多的是放在名词前面充当定语形容词,很少用作表语形容词,而此处的填空位于被修饰的名词people之后,就相当于后置定语从句:people(who are)currently…,因此语法和意义上均符合的只有选项C)alive(活着的)。
