　　Small communities, with their distinctive character-where life is stable and intensely human-are disappearing.

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 _____ (30) in the modem world in distinctive, small communities. They have resisted the homogenization _____ (31) 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 _____ (32). Although the Amish have lived with _____ (33) 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 _____ (34) by other Americans to be relics of the past who live a simple, inflexible life dedicated to inconvenient out-dated customs.

　　G.practice

　　H.process

　　I.progress

　　J.respective

　　K.survived

　　L.terminals

　　M.undergone

　　N.universal

　　O.vanished

　　27.

　　【答案】O

　　【解析】此處應(yīng)填入謂語動(dòng)詞，由空格前的have可知需填入動(dòng)詞的過去分詞。前一句講到小社群正在消失，本句對(duì)此作進(jìn)一步說明，在語義上與前一句為順承關(guān)系，也應(yīng)表示這些社群逐漸衰亡之勢(shì)。故填入與disappearing近義的vanished"突然不見;消失"，表明其中一些社群已經(jīng)消失了。

　　28.

　　【答案】M

　　【解析】根據(jù)空格前的have和空格后的名詞changes，判斷此處應(yīng)填入及物動(dòng)詞的過去分詞�？崭袼�在的這個(gè)分句講 到上述社群在接觸機(jī)械文明后都發(fā)生了變化，all指代前面說的"小社群"。此處可以與changes搭配的謂語動(dòng)詞只有undergone"經(jīng)歷，經(jīng)受;遭受"。

　　29.

　　【答案】D

　　【解析】空格位于an和machine civilization之間，故應(yīng)填入以元音開頭的分詞、形容詞或名詞作machine civilization的定語。Expanding"擴(kuò)大的;增加的"符合此處語境，社會(huì)的發(fā)展正是以機(jī)械化為主要特征的現(xiàn)代文明的逐步擴(kuò)張的過程，伴隨著小社群文明的逐步消失。

　　30.

　　【答案】H

　　【解析】空格所在句缺謂語動(dòng)詞，根據(jù)空格前的have和空格后的in，判斷應(yīng)填入不及物動(dòng)詞的過去分詞。本句講到早在殖民時(shí)期到達(dá)美國的老派阿米什人在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)中的狀況。下一句講他們?cè)诘种仆�質(zhì)化方面比起其他族群更成功。survived"活下來;幸存"填入后符合上下文語義，表明他們?cè)诂F(xiàn)代社會(huì)中得以幸存。

　　31.

　　【答案】L

　　【解析】空格前的the homogenization和后面的比較級(jí)more successfully than others(作狀語)表明此處應(yīng)填入名詞作賓語。下文描述了阿米什人不同于現(xiàn)代人的一些方面，可見阿米什人并沒有在現(xiàn)代化進(jìn)程中被改變、被同化，在很多方面依然保有自身的特點(diǎn)。process"過程，進(jìn)程"填入后符合此處語義邏輯。

　　32.

　　【答案】L

　　【解析】空格所在的介詞短語作狀語，railway or bus這個(gè)并列結(jié)構(gòu)作空格處的修飾成分，因此空格處應(yīng)填入名詞。

　　本句講到很多美國人都會(huì)見到過阿米什人的家庭，空格所在的短句表明在哪里見過。此處符合語義邏輯的 是terminals"集散站;終點(diǎn)站"。

　　33.

　　【答案】E

　　【解析】空格在謂語live with和America之間，故應(yīng)填入修飾America的形容詞或分詞。盡管阿米什人在美國生活了 長達(dá)兩個(gè)半世紀(jì)以上，但他們的個(gè)人生活、家庭、社群和價(jià)值觀并沒有受到太大的影響。與原生態(tài)的阿米什人相比，美國無疑是現(xiàn)代化社會(huì)的典型代表，industrialized "工業(yè)化的"符合語境。

　　34.

　　【答案】F

　　【解析】

　　35.

　　【答案】B

　　【解析】

　　36.

　　【答案】G

　　【解析】根據(jù)空格前的引導(dǎo)詞who和先行詞good farmers可知，此處應(yīng)填入動(dòng)詞，作定語從句的謂語。practice"實(shí)踐;遵照(教義、觀念等)行事"與賓語the virtues"美德"搭配合理，指他們踐行著勤儉的美德。
