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、status
B、circumstance
C、environment
D、priority
答案 A
解析 语意搭配题。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 the 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。句意：只有在现代工业社会里死亡才成为人们忌讳的话题。
