问题     The majority of the population lives in noisy massive tower blocks.
Cities can be frightened places. The sense of belonging to a community    【M1】______
tends to disappear when you live thirty floors up in a skyscraper. Strange【M2】______
enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each
other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks even say hello   【M3】______
to each other. Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of
isolated existence in that a sense of community generally keep the        【M4】______
inhabitants of a small village together. People have the advantage of
knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. So   【M5】______
country life has disadvantages too. For example, shopping becomes a
major problem and for something slightly out of the ordinary you have to  【M6】______
go for an expedition to the nearest large town. The country has the       【M7】______
advantage of peace and quietness, but suffers from the disadvantage of
being cut off. The city has noise and population which do harm to human
health. But one of their main advantages is that you are at the centre of 【M8】______
things and that life doesn’t come to an end even at ten at night. Some
people have found a compromise between two: they expressed their          【M9】______
preference for the quiet life by leaving for the city and moving to the   【M10】______
country within commuting distance of the large city.
【M9】
选项
答案∧two→the
解析 冠词错误。原句的意思是“一些人就在这两者之间找到了一种折中的办法”。the two这里特指city life和country life，故用定冠词the。
