To get to Orkney you have to fly or go by 38 . Ships bringing passengers come from Aberdeen every week. They also bring food, machines and so on. Most Orkney farmers 39 cows or sheep.

(答案→)36. A 解析：36.根据后文，讲的是Orkney的土地和气候。37.这两句话之间一定要有个连词，并且是表并列关系。38.根据上下文，Orkney是个岛屿，ships是主要的交通工具。39.词组instead of表示“代替”或“而不是”。 43.该句用but 表转折，所以选small。44.根据后文，渔民是要出海抓鱼。45.while表示并列连接，表“而，然而”。46.crabs(螃蟹) and lobsters(龙虾)属于shellfish47.根据后文，渔民应该是把煮了螃蟹肉，再打包。48.经过排除，只有可能是送到mainland。49.根据文章，龙虾不煮，当然是送活的了。50.经过排除，只有可能是cities。51.根据后面两句话，大多数岛屿都有自己的学校。52.根据后面一句话，很多年轻人都离开了。53.现在分词living作状语。54.和上一段最后一句话有个照应，所以应该选quiet.55.最后一句话表明，岛屿虽然在变化，但安静的生活方式依旧。

这个答案应该是对的
