问题                         Population Problem
    More and more of the world’ s population are living in towns or cities. The speed at which cities are growing in the less developed countries is【C1】______(alarm). Between 1920 and 1960, big cities in【C2】______(develop)countries increased two and a half times in size, but in other parts of the world the【C3】______(grow)was eight times their size.
    The sheer size of growth is bad enough, but there are now also very【C4】______(disturb)signs of trouble in the comparison of percentages of people living in towns and percentages of people working in industry. In Europe, the proportion of people living in cities was always smaller than that of the work force working in factories. Now, however, the reverse is almost always true in the newly【C5】______(industry)world.
    Without a base of people working in industry, these cities cannot pay for their growth. There is not enough money to build adequate houses for the people that live there, let alone the new【C6】______(arrive). There has been little opportunity to build water supplies or other facilities. So the figures for the growth of towns and cities represent【C7】______(proportion)growth of【C8】______(employ), a growth in the number of【C9】______(hope)and【C10】______(despair)parents and starving children.  
【C9】
选项
答案hopeless
解析 本句空白处放在and前提示and前后的词汇词性应该保持一致，另外此空白处是用来修饰名词parents，因此应把提示词名词hope改成形容词hopeful(充满希望的)或hopeless(没有希望的)填入空白处。根据上文句意，文章基本是在阐述城市化的坏处，所以填入hopeless(没有希望的)符合语境。
