Small communities, with their distinctive character—where life is stable and intensely human—are disappearing. Some have【C1】______from the face of the earth, others are dying slowly, but all have【C2】______changes as they have come into contact with an【C3】______machine civilization. The merging of diverse peoples into a common mass has produced tension among members of the minorities and the majority alike.
The Old Order Amish, who arrived on American shores in colonial times, have【C4】______in the modem world in distinctive, small communities. They have resisted the homogenization【C5】______more successfully than others. In planting and harvest time one can see their bearded men working the fields with horses and their women hanging out the laundry in neat rows to dry. Many American people have seen Amish families, with the men wearing broad-brimmed black hats and the women in long dresses, in railway or bus【C6】______. Although the Amish have lived with【C7】______America for over two and a half centuries, they have moderated its influence on their personal lives, their families, communities, and their values.
The Amish are often【C8】______by other Americans to be relics of the past who live a simple, inflexible life dedicated to inconvenient out-dated customs. They are seen as abandoning both modern【C9】______and the American dream of success and progress. But most people have no quarrel with the Amish for doing things the old-fashioned way.

A)accessing I)progress
B)conveniences J)respective
C)destined K)survived
D)expanding L)terminals
E)industrialized M)undergone
F)perceived N)universal
G)practice O)vanished
H)process [br] 【C3】
选项
答案
D
解析
空格位于不定冠词an之后,名词短语machine civilization之前,据此判断应填入形容词,且此形容词应以元音音素开头。根据句意“它们全都在接触——机器文明的过程中经历了改变”可知,答案为D)expanding“扩张的”。在备选项中,destined意为“注定的”,respective意为“各自的”,universal意为“全体的,普遍存在的”,这三个词均以辅音音素开头,不能与an连用,故均排除;industrialized意为“工业化的”,与文中的“机器文明”语义重复,故排除。
