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、retain
B、resign
C、regain
D、reform
答案
C
解析
空格所在句指的是房屋市场的复苏,空格紧跟的词is starting to______ its footing,其中footing指的是基础或者立稳脚跟。retain尽管意思相符,但是由于前面有start修饰,因此需要一个非持续性的动词,而retain是一种持续的动作。resign与语义不符。reform虽然可以与start连用,但从全文看并没有提及对市场的改革,而regain则最为恰当。[A] retain用法举例:If you want to retain youthful vigor,you have to take regular exercise.如果你想保持青春活力,你就得经常锻炼。[B] resign用法举例:She resigned her seat to an old woman.她把座位让给一位老太太。[D] reform用法举例:The unfair wage system must be reformed as soon as possible.必须尽快改革不合理的工资制度。
