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、In a word
B、In brief
C、In addition
D、In particular
答案 C
解析 语篇连接题。根据上下文意思，此处需填表示递进的短语in addition(另外)，文章前一句讲回忆有助于老年人保留住他们的身份，后一句讲回忆成为了老年人不断回顾的生活的一部分，故答案C In addition正确。选项A In a word意为“总而言之，一句话”，属于总结陈词；选项B In brief意为“简言之”；选项 D In particular意为“特别”，尤其表示“更进一步”，与文章内容不符。
