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、fluctuating
B、stabilizing
C、declining
D、inclining
答案
B
解析
由空格所在句子中的______or accelerating可以看出该空格所要填的单词与accelerating意义相近,指的是房价的增长而不是降低的趋势.由此可以排除[C]。而[A]和[D]只是表示价格有变化的倾向,却没有明确指出是如何变化的,因此也可以排除。由排除法可知正确答案应为[B],尽管并没有指出价格的增长,但是语义与该句的意思相符。[A] fluctuating用法举例:The price of vegetables fluctuates according to the weather.蔬菜价格随着天气变化而波动。[C] declining用法举例:As one grows older,one’s memory declines.人的记忆力随着年龄增长而衰退。[D] inclining用法举例:I’m inclined to tiredness in winter.冬天我很容易就会疲劳。
