问题     From Boston to Los Angeles, from New York City to Chicago to
Dallas, museums are either planning, building, or wrapping up
wholesale expansion programs. These programs already had radically 【M1】______
altered facades and floor plans or are expected to do so in the
not-too-distant future.
    In New York City alone, six major institutions have spread up
and out the air space and neighborhoods around them or are 【M2】______
preparing to do so.
    The reasons for this confluence of activity are complex, and one 【M3】______
factor is a consideration everywhere — space. With collections
expanding, with the needs and functions of museums changed, empty 【M4】______
space has become a very precious commodity.
    Probably nowhere in the country is this less true than at the 【M5】______
Philadelphia Museum of Art, which has needed additional space for
decades and which have received its last significant facelift ten years 【M6】______
ago. Because the space crunch, the Art Museum has become 【M7】______
increasingly cautious in considering acquisitions and donations of art,
in some cases passing up opportunities to strengthen its collections.
    Deaccessing — or buying off — works of art has taken on new 【M8】______
importance because of the museum’s space problems. And
increasingly, curators have been forced to juggling gallery space, 【M9】______
rotating one masterpiece into public view while another is sent to storage.
    Despite the clearly need for additional gallery and storage space, 【M10】______
however, "The museum has no plan, no plan to break out of its
envelope in the next fifteen years," according to Philadelphia
Museum of Art’s president.
【M3】
选项
答案and—but
解析 逻辑错误。“虽然这种集中的原因很复杂，但是有一个因素是在任何地方都要考虑的，即空间。”根据文章要表达的意思，应该选择表达转折的连词but。
