问题     A great many cities are experiencing difficulties which
are nothing new in the history of cities, except for in their       【S1】______
scale. Some cities have lost their original purpose and have
not found? new one. And any large or rich city is going to          【S2】______
attract poor immigrants, who flood in, filling with hopes           【S3】______
of prosperity which are then often disappointing. There are
backward towns on the edge of Bombay or Brasilia, just
as though there were on the edge of seventeenth-century             【S4】______
London or early nineteenth-century Paris. This is new is            【S5】______
the scale. Descriptions written by eighteenth-century travelers
of the poor of Mexico City, and the enormous contrasts
that was to be found there, are very similar to descriptions        【S6】______
of Mexico City today-the poor can still be numbered in millions.
The whole monstrous growth rests on economic prosperity,
but behind it lies two myths: the myth of the city as a             【S7】______
promised land, that attracts immigrants from rural poverty          【S8】______
and brings it flooding into city centers, and the myth of the       【S9】______
country as a Garden of Eden, which, a few generations
late, sends them flooding out again to the suburbs.                 【S1】______
【S5】
选项
答案This→What
解析 关系代词错误。This is new is the scale显然不合语法，句意也说不通。本句的意思显然应是“新的是规模”。句中的is the scale是系表结构，作谓语；前面部分是名词从句作主语，由于引导词同时还在主语从句中充当主语成分，因此不能用 that引导，只能用连接代词what。
