问题     In the past fifty years, American society has changed a great deal. Fifty years ago, most Americans lived in small【C1】______. They【C2】______moved from one area to another and knew their neighbors at least by name if not by close, personal【C3】______. Life was so personal in those days that people often joked about it. They said that a person could not even stay home【C4】______church on Sunday without the whole town knowing about it. It was difficult to have【C5】______in a small community like that, but there was usually a(n)【C6】______of security, of belonging, and of community【C7】______in such places.
    【C8】______church and the local movie theater, there was not much in the【C9】______of entertainment. Some people dreamed about moving to the exciting life of the big cities, but most people were happy to live all their lives in the same community.
    Few people experience this type of【C10】______social interaction or sense of community togetherness now. Contemporary American society is much more transient now; people often move from neighborhood to neighborhood, city to city, and coast to coast. It is【C11】______to find people who have lived all their lives in one community. Because people move so【C12】______, they do not have a chance to get to【C13】______their neighbors. Perhaps this is also【C14】______Americans【C15】______to have a more【C16】______attitude about friendships than people from some other cultures Americans are【C17】______to leaving friends and making new friends. This transience contributes to a(n)【C18】______of being part of a very impersonal society in which people have lost the【C19】______of saying hello to people they【C20】______on the streets or in the hallways of their apartment buildings.
【C8】
选项 A、Except for
B、But for
C、In case of
D、Owing to
答案A
解析 此处只有except for最符合句意，意思是“除了(教堂和电影院)之外”。but for意为“若不是”；in case of意为“万一”；owing to意为“由于”，三者都与句意不符。
