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.

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.

选项 A、ready
B、willing
C、liable
D、reluctant

答案 D

解析语意搭配题。reluctant意为“勉强的，不情愿的”，死亡是个令人恐怖的话题，当然人们都不情愿去想它，故选项D reluctant正确。其他三选项虽然都可与to do连用，但不符合句意：选项A ready(乐意的)；选项B willing(愿意的)；选项C liable(有…倾向的)，例如：We are all liable to make mistakes．
