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. Their conscientious objection was tolerated in wartime, for after all, they are good farmers who【C10】______the virtues of work and thrift.
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] 【C9】
选项
答案
B
解析
空格位于形容词modern之后,据此判断可填入名词。备选项中只有B)conveniences“便利”符合文意要求,故为正确答案。本句含义为“人们认为阿米什人放弃了现代的便利和追求成功进步的美国梦”。在备选项中,progress意为“进步”,与文意不符,且与后面出现的American dream of success and progress重复,故排除。
