A、status
B、circumstance
C、environment
D、priority

A
解析
此题属于语义搭配题。status意为“地位”,可与前面的动词achieve连用,说明在现代工业社会里死亡才取得了这一地位,其他选项:选项B) circumstance指某事件或动作发生时的“情况”,一般用复数,例如:Under/In such circumstances,we had better send him to hospital immediately.选项C) environment意为“环境(总称)”,强调环绕着某一特定的人或物,同时往往着重于对该人/物的影响,例如:He grew up in an environment of poverty.选项D) priority意为“优先权”,例如:They insist that the right to live should take priority over all other considerations.他们坚持认为生存权利应放在其他一切考虑因素之上。
