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.  
选项 A、prospect
B、impetus
C、impression
D、review
答案D
解析 语意搭配题。life review意为“生活回顾”，符合句意。选项A prospect意为“展望，前景”，指事情发生的可能性，例如：With not much prospect of sealing the dispute, the talks were halted．解决争端的可能性不大，会谈暂时中止了。从文章的上下文来看，前面讲的是回忆，因此不可能回忆前景，故选项A prospect不符合题意；选项B impetus意为“动力，推动力”，例如：the primary impetus behind the economic recovery(促进经济恢复的主要动力)；选项C impression意为“印象”，例如：What are your impressions of Hangzhou?
