Home prices slid in November, raising questions about whether the housing recovery is robust enough to maintain a sustained turnaround. From October to November, home prices fell 0.2% after【1】0.1% in October, according to a report Tuesday by Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller’s home price index.【2】five of the 20 metro areas【3】by the index saw price increases for the month.
On a(n)【4】basis, prices were 5.3% lower in November than in November 2008. Prices were the same as in late 2003. "What we’ve seen【5】the past couple of months is that the pace of【6】has fallen down," says Maureen Maitland of Standard & Poor’s. "Some markets have【7】Is that because we haven’t【8】the foreclosure (回赎权的取消) cycle? Because of unemployment? We’re not seeing the【9】we were seeing in the last summer months. "
Metro areas that have seen a retreat in home prices【10】Seattle, Charlotte, Las Vegas and Tampa. All four【11】gains they made in recent months【12】.【13】, for the 20-metro index, the annual rate of decline is improving. That【14】, with other recent housing reports that show prices【15】or accelerating, could point to【16】the housing market is starting to【17】its footing, some economists say. Existing home sale prices were $178 300 in December, which is 1.5% higher than December 2008, according to a report this week by the National Association of Realtors. That was the first year-over-year【18】in median price since August 2007.
"The most【19】thing we can say is not only the market is stabilizing, but we’ve seen that housing demand is strong," says Bernard Baumohl, with the Economic Outlook Group. "Housing probably will continue to climb upwards through the summer,【20】it could slip a little as the tax credit expires. "
选项
A、Therefore
B、Consequently
C、Moreover
D、Still
答案
D
解析
空格所在句句意为:______,从20个城市的指数来看,房价下降的年度比率却是减小了。前一段讲了四个大城市房价下跌,房地产几个月来的收益荡然无存。由此看出,空格前后为语义转折关系,选项中能够表示这种关系的只有[D]。Therefore和Consequently都表示因果关系,Moreover表示递进关系,用在此处意义不合适,因此均可以排除。
