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、expanding
B、continuing
C、puzzling
D、encouraging
答案
D
解析
从上段可以看出,成品房销售价格增长了。从下文可以看出,不但房市稳定,而且房屋需求也很旺盛,整个夏季房市都在攀升,所以这应该是一件令人鼓舞的事,而不是扩大的、持续不断的和令人迷惑的事情,故[D]为正确答案。[A] expanding用法举例:To service the expanding markets,a new type of business was necessary. 为服务日益扩张的市场,一种新型的商业是必需的。[B] continuing用法举例:Blue skies are not a guarantee of continuing fine weather.蔚蓝的天空不一定担保天气持续晴朗。[C] puzzling用法举例:The teacher’s explanation clarified the puzzling problem. 老师的解释澄清了困扰的问题。
