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、under
B、above
C、beyond
D、within
答案 C
解析 词语搭配题。beyond意为“(指空间)在…那一边”，在借喻中有超出之意，偏重于客观事物非本身能力所能达到或完成，例如：The failure arose from circumstances beyond our control．其他类似说法：beyond one’s power/endurance/comprehension．故选项C beyond正确。选项A under (control)意为“情况正常，处于控制之下”，例如：bring inflation under control；选项B above强调“本身凌驾于一般标准之上”，例如：Do you consider yourself above criticism/reproach?难道你认为谁都不能批评你吗?/你是无可指摘的吗?选项D within通常不与control连用。
