Over half the world’s people now live in cities. The latest"Global Report on Human Settlements" says a significant change took place last year. The report【C1】______this week from U.N. Habitat, a United Nations agency.
A century ago, 【C2】______than five percent of all people lived in cities. 【C3】______ the middle of this century it could be seventy percent, or【C4】______six and a half billion people. Already three-fourths of people in【C5】______countries live in cities. Now most urban population 【C6】______ is in the developing world.
Urbanization can 【C7】______ to social and economic progress, but also put 【C8】______on cities to provide housing and【C9】______.

【C2】
选项
A、more
B、other
C、less
D、rather
答案
C
解析
考查短语辨析。根据上下文可知,这里说的是都市人口的增长,强调之前的少和现在的多,所以一个世纪之前,城市人口应该“不到”5%。less than意为“少于,不到”,故选C.less。more than意为“多于”;other than意为“除了”;rather than意为“而不是”,均不符合句意。
