Recently I had a serious hip injury that landed me in the hospital. I was【C2】______ at first, but I was only facing a short-term crisis. Now, after good medical【C3】______, I’m back on my feet, back to work, and feeling great. Sure, I have my aches and pains, and I move【C4】______ slower than I did when I was 18, but who doesn’t? And then last night, I was【C5】______ when my niece said, "Aunt Eileen, I want to be like you when I’m older. You’re 76 years old,【C6】______ you’re happy, healthy, and still working. You’re actually 【C7】______!"
She was right. However, I haven’t always felt so secure. Years ago, my grandmother 【C8】______ serious financial problems.

When I finally retired, I had to face some【C17】______ choices about what to do next. Did I want to move to an inexpensive apartment in a warmer climate,【C18】______ hobbies all day? No, I did not! So, I took some courses to improve my skills. Then I found a part-time job I really like.【C19】______ I started this second career mostly for【C20】______ income, I believe that working keeps me alive and mentally alert. [br] 【C20】
选项
A、exorbitant
B、additional
C、high
D、useful
答案
B
解析
本题考查语境推理。上文指出作者去参加培训,提高自身能力,最终找到一份满意的兼职,其目的是多挣一些钱。此处选填词语应与income(收入)相搭配。词义辨析:exorbitant adj.意为“过度的”;additional adj.意为“额外的”;high adj.意为“高的”;useful adj.意为“有用的,有帮助的”。根据词义,此处选择additional最为恰当。
