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  
【S4】
选项
答案E
解析 空格处需填入动词。空格所在句后面一句为：they said that a person could not even stay home from church on Sunday without the whole town knowing about it.要是谁周日没去教堂，大家就都知道了。该句为人们的玩笑话，在功能上对空格所在句具体说明。选择joke，joke about意为“拿……开玩笑”。joke还可作名词，play a joke on sb，跟某人开玩笑。
