If one is thinking in (2)_____ of science fiction and the space age (3)_____ at least possible to assume that man will have solved such trivial and earthly problems as housing. Writers of science fiction have (4)_____ the suggestion that men will live in great comfort, with every (5)_____ device to make life smooth, healthy and easy, (6)_____ not happy.

But nobody has worked out any plan for housing these growing populations. Admittedly the worse situations will occur in the (10)_____ parts of the world, where housing can be of light structure, or in backward areas where standards are (11)_____ low. But even the minimum shelter requires materials of (12)_____ kind, and in the crowded, bulging towns the low-standard" housing" of flattened petrol mans and dirty canvas is far more wasteful (13)_____ ground space than can be tolerated.

(15)_____ millions of refugees arrived to (16)_____ the already growing population and emergency steps had to be taken to prevent squalor and disease and the (17)_____ of crime. Hong Kong is only one small part of what will certainly become a vast problem and not (18)_____ a housing problem, because when population grows at this rate there are (19)_____ problems of education, transport, water supply and so on. Not every area may have the same resources as Hong Kong to (20)_____ and the search for quicker and cheaper methods of construction must never cease.
选项
A、swell
B、diverge
C、inflate
D、delete
答案
A
解析
动词辨析及上下文理解题。本段讲香港的人口危机,数百万难民来到香港使本来就在增长的人口更加膨胀。swell意为"使变大,增大,隆起",符合文意。inflate虽也有"增大,使膨胀"之意,但通常有"充气于…,使浮夸"的意思;diverge"使叉开,使转向";delete"删除,擦掉"。
