【C1】
选项 A、Indeed
B、Likewise
C、Therefore
D、Furthermore
答案D
解析 语篇衔接题。本句的意思是：“此外，无家可归者人数如此众多以致当地政府再也不可能承受了。”根据上文可知，无家可归者占美国人口的比例越来越大。从语意上分析，两句话是递进关系。四个选项中，A indeed“确实”；B likewise“同样”；C therefore“因此，所以”；D furthermore“此外，而且”，表示递进关系，例如： The house is too small，and furthermore，it’s too far from the office．“这座房子太小，而且离办公地点也太远。”综合分析，只有furthermore符合句子意思。因此 D为正确答案。
