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