There are so many new books about dying that there are now special shelves set aside for them in bookshops, along with the health-diet and home repair paperbacks. Some of them are so 【1】with detailed information and step-by-step instructions for performing the function, that you’d think this was a new sort of【2】which all of us are now required to learn. The strongest impression the casual reader gets is that proper dying has become an extraordinary,【3】an exotic experience, something only the specially trained can do.
【4】, you could be led to believe that we are the only【5】capable of being aware of death, and that when the rest of nature is experiencing the life cycle and dying, one generation after【6】, it is a different kind of process, done automatically and trivially, or more "natural", as we say.
An elm in our backyard【7】the blight (枯萎病) this summer and dropped stone dead, leafless, almost overnight. One weekend【8】was a normal-looking elm, maybe a little bare in spots but【9】alarming, and the next weekend it wTas gone, passed over, departed, taken. Taken is right, for the tree surgeon came by yesterday with his【10】of young helpers and their cherry picker, and took it down branch by branch and carted it off in the back of a red truck, everyone【11】
The dying【12】a field mouse, at the jaws of an amiable household cat, is a spectacle 1 have beheld many times. It【13】to make me wince. However, early in life I gave up throwing sticks【14】the cat to make him drop the mouse,【15】the dropped mouse regularly went ahead and died anyway.
选项
A、Furthermore
B、However
C、Even so
D、Since then
答案
A
解析
本段开头意为“书中内容会让你觉得我们是唯一有死亡意识的……”,上段内容指“书中的内容让人觉得死是人们要按部就班学习的一门技术”,此处仍表示死亡书中的内容使人……,A项意为“而且,此外,再者”为正确选择。B项However“然而、可是、不过”表示转折。C项意为“即使如此”,D项意为“从那时以来”,均与句意不符。
