问题     In the past fifty years, American society has changed a great deal. Fifty years ago, most Americans lived in small communities. They 【S1】______ moved from one area to another and knew their neighbors at least by 【S2】______ if not by close, personal 【S3】______ . Life was so personal in those days that people often 【S4】______ about it. They said that a person could not even stay home from church on Sunday without the whole town knowing about it. It was difficult to have 【S5】______ in a small community like that, but there was usually a sense of security, of belonging, and of community togetherness in such places. Except for church and the local movie theater, there was not much in the way of entertainment. Some people dreamed about moving to the 【S6】______ life of the big cities, but most people were happy to live all their lives in the same community.
    Few people 【S7】______ this type of lifelong social interaction or sense of community togetherness now. People often move from neighborhood to neighborhood, city to city, and coast to coast. It is rare to find people who have lived all their lives in one community. Because people move so 【S8】______ , they do not have a chance to get to know their neighbors. Perhaps this is also why Americans tend to have a more casual 【S9】______ about friendships than people from some other cultures. Americans are 【S10】______ to leaving friends and making new friends.

A) attitude             B) interaction            C) frequently          D) name  
E) joked                F) rarely                 G) experience          H) exciting
I) comparatively        J) correspondence         K) privacy             L) cheated
M) accustomed           N) isolation  
【S6】
选项
答案H
解析 空格处需填入形容词。空格后出现big cities，通常与big cities对应的是“繁华，紧张，压力，噪声，忙碌”等内容。选择exciting，该句意为：一些人梦想过上大城市令人兴奋的生活，而大多数人则很高兴住在小社区里过日子。
