The problem with today’s housing crisis, politically, is that it is just not all that visible. At the end of the Second World War, families with kids【C1】________into shared houses. In 1946, more than 46,000 families took over military camps, empty hotels and flats. That was a(n)【C2】________housing crisis. Today’s does not come【C3】________: most people still have somewhere to live.
It is nonetheless【C4】________, and worthy of political attention. But the question of exactly why our expensive homes【C5】________a crisis is more subtly depicted than it can appear. Since 1973 at least, the total number of "dwellings" has climbed far faster than the population. How is this possible,【C6】________that building rates have【C7】________? And doesn’t it mean that there isn’t really a housing crisis?
First, in the 1960s and 1970s, while councils happily knocked【C8】________new estates, they were also busy pulling down lots of old "【C9】________" houses too. Social housing helped people move from broken old crowded houses into【C10】________new flats or houses, typically with much more【C11】________.
Meanwhile, new homes were built on green fields. Average household sizes【C12】________dramatically, even as the average house got bigger. Though the housing stock【C13】________by less than the rate of building,【C14】________got a lot more space in which to live.
In recent decades,【C15】________, everyone has got a lot less space. We have had【C16】________little new building, but【C17】________we have magically created lots of new housing. Essentially, so far, the housing crisis has been【C18】________by subdividing our homes to【C19】________the extra population growth.【C20】________what new homes we do build are the smallest in the developed world.
【C19】
选项
A、make way for
B、make use of
C、make up to
D、make ready for
答案
A
解析
前面提到建小户型的房子,目的应该是腾出地方给额外增长的人口居住,从而解决住房危机。make way for意为“为…腾出地方”符合语境,故选A。原文并没有线索表明利用额外增长的人口,故排除B项make use of“利用”。C项makeup to“接近”代入空格,句意不通,也排除。从上文可看出,现在的房子已经变小了,并不是做准备,因此排除D项make ready for“为……作准备”。

美国的枪支暴力惨案再度引发了有关枪支管控的讨论。反对枪支管控者称,20世纪80年代美国枪支暴力案飙升,1986年有些州通过法律手段实施严格的枪支管控,但实施严格枪支管控的这些州的平均暴力犯罪率却是其他州平均暴力犯罪率的1.5倍。可见,严格的枪支管控无助于减
