The problem with today’s housing crisis, politically, is that it is just not all that visible. At the end of the Second World War, families with kids【C1】________into shared houses. In 1946, more than 46,000 families took over military camps, empty hotels and flats. That was a(n)【C2】________housing crisis. Today’s does not come【C3】________: most people still have somewhere to live.
It is nonetheless【C4】________, and worthy of political attention. But the question of exactly why our expensive homes【C5】________a crisis is more subtly depicted than it can appear. Since 1973 at least, the total number of "dwellings" has climbed far faster than the population. How is this possible,【C6】________that building rates have【C7】________? And doesn’t it mean that there isn’t really a housing crisis?
First, in the 1960s and 1970s, while councils happily knocked【C8】________new estates, they were also busy pulling down lots of old "【C9】________" houses too. Social housing helped people move from broken old crowded houses into【C10】________new flats or houses, typically with much more【C11】________.
Meanwhile, new homes were built on green fields. Average household sizes【C12】________dramatically, even as the average house got bigger. Though the housing stock【C13】________by less than the rate of building,【C14】________got a lot more space in which to live.
In recent decades,【C15】________, everyone has got a lot less space. We have had【C16】________little new building, but【C17】________we have magically created lots of new housing. Essentially, so far, the housing crisis has been【C18】________by subdividing our homes to【C19】________the extra population growth.【C20】________what new homes we do build are the smallest in the developed world.
【C11】
选项
A、space
B、money
C、lodging
D、shelter
答案
A
解析
从本段倒数第2句的even as the average house got bigger,可知房子更大了,上下文语义需保持一致,因此本处讲述的应该同是房子有更大的空间,故选A项space“空间”。B项money意为“金钱”,此处描述的是房子的特征,从上下文看并没有说房子是否更贵,因此排除。文中讲述的是新房子,而非出租房或避难所,故排除C项lodging“寄宿、出租的房间”和D项shelter“保护”。
