53 c 从前面的answered一词便可判断空格处应选questions一词。
54 A 从文章开始处的differ一词和接下来的they did not hold the same views便可判断空格处应选differently一词。
55 B 从前面的such一词可以断定空格处应选as.词。
56 B 此句的意思是,许多受访者认为在睡眠中死去是种不错的死法。
57 D 在睡眠中死去的好处之一应是不知道死亡即将来临。
58 c 从搭配和语意两方面考虑,只有considered合适。
59 D此句的意思是,一些人认为,而其他人则认为,因此只有while合适。
60 A 此段主要讲的是受访者对家人的看法。
61 B 表示死亡的时候应用at the time of death。
62 B 此句的意思是,珍惜家人并非也意味着生命结束时希望有家人在身边。
