　　.阅读理解

　　The Amish are the fastest growing religious group in the United States and by the year 2050，there will be about 1 million Amish living in the country.Over half of all Amish settlements currently in the US were founded after

　　1990.Today，there are about a quarter of a million Amish

　　living in the US and Canada.One of the reasons for the

　　situation is that the Amish have the highest birth rates in the

　　two countries.

　　The Amish raise their children strictly according to their religious values，with their family traditions never broken.However，more and more of them are forced to change the way they live and adopt to a new lifestyle，especially the younger Amish，who are leaving their traditional home states in Ohio，Pennsylvania and Indiana and moving west to places where the farmland is relatively abundant.

　　Some think that living in crowded areas breaks their way of life and the values they keep.Parents are afraid that young Amish teenagers will mix with non­Amish and get into more contact with drugs or alcohol.

　　Today，more and more Amish are looking for alternative ways of making a living since raising cows and sheep is simply no longer enough to survive.They're starting to open up small businesses，like producing furniture.Some have even started Internet based shops，which is a_far_cry_from the typical Amish traditions.More than half of all Amish earn money from work outside agriculture.Though they still have horses at home，they use modern technology like cell­phones and computers at work.Many have become very successful and their businesses are booming，which can be explained by the fact that they work harder than others and as a result their rate of failure is much lower than that of non­Amish companies.Amish teenagers，who must leave school after the eighth grade，are forced to look for jobs outside agriculture，which normally means more income for the family but also represents that they break their culture and traditions.

　　【语篇解读】　在美国生活着一群特立独行的人——阿米什人，他们以拒绝汽车及电力等现代设施，过着简朴的生活而闻名。而现代生活中的阿米什人又是什么样的呢？

　　1．The first paragraph mainly talks about ________.

　　A．where the Amish found their habitats

　　B．the population problem the Amish face

　　C．how the Amish become a religious group

　　D．the rapid population growth of the Amish

　　【解析】　段落大意题。第一段第一句是段落主旨句。阿米什人人口增长很快。由第一段末句可知，由于阿米什人的出生率比较高，人口增长特别快。

　　【答案】　D

　　【规律技巧】　利用主题句归纳文章大意

　　文章中的主题句，体现了文章的大意；常常位于文章的开头或结尾；该篇文章的主题句位于第一段第一句，由此可以推出答案。

　　2．Which of the following mainly causes the Amish to change their traditional way of life?

　　A．Their limited farmland.

　　B．Their religious values.

　　C．Their successful business.

　　D．The desire of modern life.

　　【解析】　推理判断题。根据第二段“However，more and more of them are forced to change the way they live and adopt to a new lifestyle，especially the younger Amish，who are leaving their traditional home states in Ohio，Pennsylvania and Indiana and moving west to places where the farmland is relatively abundant.”可知，他们的生活方式被迫改变，尤其是年轻的阿米什人，离开俄亥俄州、宾夕法尼亚州和印第安纳州，向西迁移到农田相对充裕的地区。故可推知，他们迁移是因为他们的农田资源变得有限(而人口不断增长)。

　　【答案】　A

　　3．The underlined words “a far cry from” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “________”．

　　A．very helpful

　　B．in control of

　　C．quite similar to

　　D．very different from

　　【解析】　词义猜测题。根据第四段“Today，more and more Amish are looking for alternative ways of making a living since raising cows and sheep is simply no longer enough to survive.”可推知，他们的传统生产方式主要是饲养牛羊，而现在这样的方式明显不足以保障生存，所以他们开始寻找其他的方式。根据画线短语的上文“Some have even started Internet based shops”可知，which指代的是“一些阿米什人甚至开起了网店”这个情况，这与阿米什人的传统作业方式大相径庭，故可知画线短语的意思。

　　【答案】　D
