问题     It is often observed that the aged spend much time thinking and talking about their past lives,【71】about the future. These reminiscences are not simply random or trivial memories,【72】is their purpose merely to make conversation. The old person’s recollections of the past help to【73】an identity that is becoming increasingly fragile:【74】any role that brings respect or any goal that might provide【75】to the future, the individual mentions his past as a reminder to listeners, that here was a life【76】living.【77】, the memories form part of a continuing life【78】, in which the old person【79】the events and experiences of the years gone by and【80】on the overall meaning of his or her own almost completed life.
    As the life cycle【81】to its close, the aged must also learn to accept the reality of their own impending (即将发生的) death.【82】this task is made difficult by the fact that death is almost a【83】subject in the United States. The mere discussion of death is often regarded as【84】. As adults many of us find the topic frightening and are【85】to think about it—and certainly not to talk about it【86】the presence of someone who is dying. Death has achieved this taboo【87】only in the modem industrial societies. There seems to be an important mason for our reluctance to【88】the idea of death. It is the very fact that death remains【89】our control; it is almost the only one of the natural processes【90】is so.  [br]
选项 A、reckons
B、counts
C、reflects
D、conceive
答案 C
解析 语意搭配题。reflect on/upon意为“反省，反思”，例如：The old man reflected on the changes that had taken place since his youth．此处需—个动词与下文的meaning搭配，因此只有思考生命的意义符合逻辑，故选项C reflects正确。选项A reckons (on)意为“指望，盼望”，例如：I’m reckoning on your continued support．另外，reckon in(把…计算在内)；reckon up(结算，估计)；reckon with(处理，考虑到)，如：reckon with the possibility；选项B counts (on)意为“指望”；选项D conceive意为“构想出，认为”，相当于imagine或invent，例如：He conceives of society as a jungle where only the fittest survive．本句的宾语是老年人快结束的一生的意义，因此不可能是想像的，故选项D不符合题意。句意：除此之外，这些记忆形成了持续不断的人生回顾的一部分。在回忆中，老年人把过去的事件及经历结合在一起，并且反思他(她)即将结束的一生的全部意义。
