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 【C2】______ housing crisis—one that politicians couldn’t deny existed. Today’s does not come close: most people still have somewhere to live.
It is nonetheless real, and 【C3】______ of political attention. But the question of exactly why our expensive homes 【C4】______a crisis is more subtle than it can appear. Since 1973 at least, the total number of "dwellings" has climbed far faster than the population. How is this possible, given that building rates have collapsed? And doesn’t it mean that there isn’t really a housing crisis?
First, in the 1960s and 1970s, social housing helped people move from broken crowded houses into shiny new 【C5】______, typically with much more space. Average household sizes fell 【C6】______, even as the average house got bigger. Though the housing stock increased by less than the rate of building, everybody got a lot more space in which to live.
In recent decades, by 【C7】______, everyone has got a lot less space. We have had relatively little new building, but somehow we have magically created lots of new housing. Almost anywhere in London, especially in the outer-suburbs, houses have been turned into flats. Essentially, so far, the housing crisis has been solved by 【C8】______ our homes to make way for the 【C9】______population growth. All this is evidence of a growing 【C10】______ on space.
【C7】
选项
答案
C
解析
空格前为介词by.因此空格处应填入名词或动名词作介词宾语。从上段可知,过去有更大的住房空间。本句提到“最近几十年每人的住房空间更小了”。前后语义形成对比,故选C项,by contrast意为“对比之下”。
